[quote][url=http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2009-12/sri-sfs122909.php]Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute have determined for the first time that prions, bits of infectious protein devoid of DNA or RNA that can cause fatal neurodegenerative disease, are capable of Darwinian evolution.[/url][/quote] - "I hate cows."
Lol, Zombieland
I'll get the shotgun.

This is actually pretty interesting. I read the entire thing.
I hope this is a joke. I don't want to die yet.
I'm going to re-read Zombie Survival Guide just in case.
News source? I'm thinking Sun before anything.

[QUOTE=vBullshit;19397673]News source? I'm thinking Sun before anything.[/QUOTE] The text in the quote is blue for a reason.
This can't be true. If it is then i will die. There is a cow across the street.

[QUOTE=UserDerth;19398122]Australia, NSW, In a town Not a city.[/QUOTE] What an odd town. We don't see anything of the like inside Central Melbourne. Not even a snake.
Can you quote the part where it talks about something remotely related to zombies ? Sure you can't. [editline]10:48AM[/editline] "But we know that mutation and natural selection occur in living organisms and now we know that they also occur in a non-living organism. I suppose anything that can't do that wouldn't stand much of a chance of survival."
Is this even true?
Whatever this is, I still have interest in what a "Prions" is.

[QUOTE=UserDerth;19398477]Wiki is here for you. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prion[/url][/QUOTE] I thought this was a typo of prisons. Thank you for the educating link, consider yourself informative.
[QUOTE=DireAvenger;19398468]Whatever this is, I still have interest in what a "Prions" is.[/QUOTE] Funny thing is that Prions aren't easily killed. They tried radiation on it and it still lives. I say shoot it in his microscopic head with a microscopic bullet.
Can someone tell me if this is real?

Life is so goddamn boring , if there was an evolved mad cow gene that got infected into humans , life would be so exhilarating! That is , unless you are infected
This article contains nothing about cows turning into zombies. I am disappoint.

[QUOTE=UserDerth;19399589]And it didn't even have the word Zombie or contagious. And it is trapped on a island i think. Anyway i am starting to think this is fake.[/QUOTE] Why would this be fake, it's just a scientific report showing that prions (a sort of protein) are capable of so called "evolutionary" change. What I believe they are trying to say is just that this explains why they are resistant to certain drugs. You shouldn't relate it it to the stupid misleading title of this thread you know.
:panic: That is all.
Get to the choppa!
I have noticed that if you mention zombies in the title, everyone actually assumes that it's about zombies. Neurodegenerative means that it kills your neurons.
