It's Science

Scientists are trying to engineer a kind of herpes that kills cancer.

Wow.

The idea initially struck me as kinda dumb -- "Oh great! My cancer is cured but my love life is over," -- but I guess I'd rather have herpes than die.

From what I understand now, though, is that the herpes attack and kill cancer cells and leave the normal cells alone.

I'll be damned.

There already is a cure for zombitus... two barrels of 12-gauge buckshot.
