really showing its 2002-ness by being "whoa did u guys know we can put genes from one organism in another?????" I was surprised to find out during the collapse of the soviet union they lost 20 TONS of smallpox they had been secretly manufacturing but it hasn't shown up since so I guess that's ok. less surprising is biologists working for the us army made a lot of vaccine resistant smallpox and then cdc epidemiologists found out and were like WHAT THE FUCK u can't do that it's SO dangerous. really great country we live in
