Like zombies, but better. The greatest piece of programming ever. Bacteria get a bad name, they are actually our friends. And what else is there... What is rabies again? Starts with a P... I forget.

Sickness is all right, as the Buddha said, life is suffering.

Pathogen? I still can't remember.

The plural of virus is viruses, idiot.

They are not alive - they are simply rogue genetic programs that have been selected for in the mechanisms of hosted reproduction. Zombies at least have the semblance of having hijacked human-like body.


A pathogen is an infectious agent that can cause a disease.

A prion is an aberrant protein that folds other proteins to match itself.

Rabies is not a prion. Creutzfeldt-Jakob is.
