  1. e-zac-tickly it's more than just a game. 8 years ago a virus was introduced into the "world of Warcraft" online adventure game. A prank to mess with all the gamers, not int3ended to be totally destr4uctive. what happe4ned is that it took down the whole game and here's the da-da - the rate and pattern of dispersion of the "plague" or virus as it affedted only the inside of the game world, has been used as a model for study and dissemination for the spread and effect of real-world similar epidemics. BTW i think my last gf was a zombie and i'm not sure i escaped unscathed. Good Post Billy.
