trapical Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Unfortunatly both Outbreak and The Hot Zone are quite ficticious. Executive Order, is a decent bit more accurate but still a fabrication. You do get the general idea though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyemange Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 So what's the difference between Typhoid and Ebola? The GES, the only clan ruled by a Goat. "How did it start? I mean, did one kid just yell out lets have sex!"" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issy2 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 In 10 million years give or take a few the Gorillas will all be human and will destroy the earth again I really hope your joking Nope. If we (humans) evolved from gorillas it logically follows that gorillas will continue evolving. It's probably happening right now. Still, they're nearly extinct anyway...

trapical Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 So what's the difference between Typhoid and Ebola? Quite a bit really. For starters Typhoid is a bacteria (treatable) and has a 20% mortality rate and Ebola is a virus (no cure) and has a 90% mortality rate. Wikipedia them if you're interested :wink: In 10 million years give or take a few the Gorillas will all be human and will destroy the earth again I really hope your joking Nope. If we (humans) evolved from gorillas it logically follows that gorillas will continue evolving. It's probably happening right now. Still, they're nearly extinct anyway... Evolution happens on hundreds of thousands of years. It's not like one day gorillas will have evolved. It is such a slow and gradual change that humans won't even notice unless in the year 852006 someone looked at a photograph of a present day gorilla. Issy, we didn't evolve from gorillas :| Ha, that could be a theological argument in people's eyes. I'm assuming you mean we evolved from chimps, not gorillas.

Executive Order, is a decent bit more accurate but still a fabrication. You do get the general idea though. :) How dare you call The Hot Zone fictional!? :evil: I am outraged! And you even think Executive Order was more realistic! (well okay I admit it was a bit exagerated, but fact is, the events happened) ------- As a side note, ive also read another, less known but equally interesting book simply named Ebola by William T. Close. If you like Ebola and the stories behind it, the you'd like this book too. http://www.amazon.com/Ebola-William-Dr- ... 0804114323 The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Executive Order, is a decent bit more accurate but still a fabrication. A fine book, (I presume you're referring to that) which i'm reading at the moment. And technically, we didn't evolve from chimps, close to us as they are. Apparently we evolved from Homo Stabilus, Erecutus or one of the other monkeys with a latin name that inspires giggles from schoolboys being taught about it.

I ought to read up more on evolution. Btw, gratz on 2k posts. Trix.--quit WoW as of 12/07Thank you 4be2jue for the wonderful sig and avatar!
