Why would you want the mystery virus to reproduce?

It's not a virus, and I think that @[email protected] was saying that they'd like the study reproduced, not the Obelisks.

I know that my comment deserved an "/s" since I was playing off of unclear pronouns and the article's use of "virus-like," but I felt that admitting that I was in on the joke undermined the humor. I stand by my choice and accept my downvotes for the chuckles.

Because they're not a virus. And they're a new discovery, we don't know how they reproduce.
