That is all I needed to know. These morons need to turn in their science cards and give back absolutely every single penny of their funding. There is no science here, only profound stupidity.

This is stupid.

The scientist didn't get a computer virus, instead he just implanted an infected computer in himself.

It's as stupid as swallowing a flash drive with the code of a virus on it and claiming you're a person infected with a computer virus.
