oh dear

the thing that made me laugh out loud though was the last line of the article:-

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.

the best part of it is when you put 'dirty virtual guinea pig' into yahoo it comes up with the guy who developed The Sims who looks remarkably like hitlers love child

It's just come up in the news again because a bunch of scientists are analysing it to study how diseases spread. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6951918.stm
Like Shelleseson said, to those of us who don't play WoW this is the first we've heard of it
