Sep. 7th, 2007 10:06 am... there are viruses that turn their victims blue. Iridescent blue.
Granted, it's mostly their invertebrate victims, since they just make their vertebrate victims (gouramis, cichlids, some frogs, etc.) horribly sick and die, but still- VIRUSES THAT MAKE THE VICTIM SHINY IRIDESCENT BLUE.
They call them iridoviridae. This is SO COOL.
... I want to infect the giant isopod with one.
