This will end well

Scientists have brought back to life a virus that was buried in ice for 30,000 years and is still infectious, a prominent scientific journal reports.
If the Earth's ice melts sufficiently, Nature warns, it could "trigger the return of other ancient viruses."
A French husband and wife team who discovered the large organism in Siberia have named it Pithovirus sibericum.
It was able to infect amoebae despite having been frozen for 30 millennia.

Well, hopefully we can learn something from it and keep it contained.

I would have came up with a cooler name for it

My wife, when infuriated, has called me an amoeba with appendages, so I´m pretty damned worried.

I know. I already saw it. My post was an exclamation of both awe and worry, hence the "shitttttt".

Your shitttttttt, came quickly, hence my response.
I hate Argentina, and love Argentina ( I know you get that ), and I think yáll are the side to beat this summer, provided you´ve got some D.

I gotcha. We definitely need to get some strength in that back line.
Are you in the States now? Or are you traveling the globe again?

I almost bought a company in December, but the second partner went apeshit crazy on us, his demands were not tenable. I´m close to closing on two others, but nothing is written in stone, as you know.
Atlanta is, well, Atlanta is.........
Stiff upper lip my friend, stiff upper lip.
I´m cognizant of your professional unhappiness as well, and I wish you all the best.

You're a good man, my friend! I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

As are you. Many douchebags on here (myself included), and está pendiente conocernos, y conocer tu padre, pues, me parece un hombre fascinante.
Hay que joderse, pero nunca perder la fé, ¿verdad?
En serio, estoy bien, pero el tren de vida que conoce mi familia ha parado, y me jode, y mucho, porque vivo por ellos, no por mí, ¿sabes?
ETA Vaya lapsus. Lo de muchos douchebags, quisé decir que hay mucho fanfurrón y tontería, pero que la verdad, puede brillar por su ausencia. En fin, paso demasiado tiempo en este medio porque carezco de las demandas de antes, pero de verdad, te aprecio. Saludos.
