This is interesting.

A deadly virtual plague has broken out in the online game World of Warcraft. Although limited to only a few of the game's servers the numbers of characters that have fallen victim is thought to be in the thousands.

Originally it was thought that the deadly digital disease was the result of a programming bug in a location only recently added to the Warcraft game. However, it now appears that players kicked off the plague and then kept it spreading after the first outbreak.

The plague is a direct result of not signing the kyoto accords. I blame Booosh.

I blame Al Gore, he invented World of Warcraft afterall, and the internet, which is where this horrifying plague has been spreading.  CLEARLY it is all Gore's fault.

"In May 2000 many players of The Sims were outraged when their game characters died because of an infection contracted from a dirty virtual guinea pig. "


I wonder if they have Cuy Chactado in The Sims?

The plague was a highly amusing time in our history, and I am glad that the World of Crayola dweebs are getting to experiance it fully.
