What do you consider to be the deadlyest thing alive? most people would never guess a mutatated spider. resurchers have found that a kind of spider is so smart that it stalks it pray untill an opening apeers.if no opening apeers then the spider will use a tactic that the navy SEALS use and lopwer itself onto its pray and kill it.And another spider that is a pack hunter that traps then kills larger animals like cows. now if these where crossbredwe would get a creatue with the stats of a vilcorapter and would deisate the human race.

I don't know if it's alive, but your grammar is deadly.

And stop fapping at Animal Planet.

Schrodinger and Heisenberg are driving down the autobahn one day when they feel a bump under the car.

"Is it dead?" asks Schrodinger.

"I can't be certain," answers Heisenberg.

Mrs. Schroedinger to Mr. Schroedinger: What the hell did you do to the cat?
It looks half dead!

I was gonna go grammar nazi on this thread and then found out I'd been beaten to it in the first post :mad:

Oh well, in the spirit of the thread, if not apparently the letter, then I'm gonna go with box jellyfish.

Cows and pigs. Their deadly cholesterol has made them the number one cause of human deaths through heart disease.

Zombies.

Not only will they kill us all, they're undead and thus more deadly than anything else alive.

Cyborgs of the 21st century.

But im serious. If they could cross-bred these spiders then it waould kills thousunds of humans! YOu have been warned

1) Spiders are not social.
2) Spiders don't hunt prey they can't immediately immobilize.

Er...I think that would be the Grammar Police.
Nope.... “Deadlyest”?

or better yet... Eight-legged freaks!

2) Spiders don't hunt prey they can't immediately immobilize.
bet you're right about 2), but there IS a whole group of social spiders. they're wicked cool.

On the topic of deadlyness, is will smith's new movie "pursuit of happyness" also whack, or is there some grammar issue here of which I'm not aware?

Never knew that, but you're correct there's perhaps a dozen species that are social.

Ebola?

It's a virus where you basically rot and bleed to death and one strain (I think Ebola Zaire, could be wrong) can kill 90% of it victims. :eek: Not something to screw around with at all.


Though you could say extremist fundamentalism.

1) Spiders are not social.
2) Spiders don't hunt prey they can't immediately immobilize.

spiders hunt in a number of different ways, so attack their prey (ambush tactics) others set up webs to trap prey. There are spiders that hide in holes and trap their prey that way, some even have camouflage to blend with flowers to attack insects. The largest (bird eating spider) does in fact, eat birds.

The HIV Virus.

Thing with ebola is that it does not spread that easily.

I would have to say the deadliest thing is me after a beer and curry night!

Are viruses alive?

No, they're not alive.

But my textbooks said they were life.... :headbang:

I hate North Carolina. :mad:

Yup, Zaire is the most dangerous.

Actually Reston is. Mainly because there was a hint that it was airborne...and that is enough to put the shitters on a few virologists...

Also don't forget about that Angolan Marburg outbreak a while back...nasty nasty nasty!

I thought Reston isn't lethal to humans; just monkeys.

Reston? Never heard of Reston. I know of Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan, and Marburg (though I'm not sure if Marburg is a strain or not) and there's a fourth one but I can't remember it.

I thought Reston isn't lethal to humans; just monkeys.

If Reston went airborne and does not need the usual ways to spread...

I guess I could have worded it better...the other one that scares me is the smallpox work thats going on...we know that spread like a bastard...and we have NO immunity to a new strain....

Around Easter 2005, right?

I remember reading "The Hot Zone" in seventh grade and seeing the Marburg outbreak in the news.

What is the basis for life? must something be sentient to be alive? If so, then I know alot of nature lovers that would be disapointed to learn that Trees, bushes and flowers no longer count as life.

Just because something does not contain some form of intelligence, does not mean it is alive, nor does it mean that what we think of as life, is neccessarily so.

Viruses are life, and they are the deadliest known entites to date.

Reston? Never heard of Reston. I know of Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan, and Marburg (though I'm not sure if Marburg is a strain or not) and there's a fourth one but I can't remember it.

Marburg is related....but not a ebola virus. Its activation is very different from ebola.

Yep. :eek:

If that leaves Africa, we're screwed. :(

Your text book is wrong. Viruses is in some kind of grey zone of life, it has some characteristics of life, like DNA, but lacks other vital definitions, like metabolism (or the ability to create energy at least, not sure if it's metabolism it's called in bacterias). And it is definetly NOT a cell. It's DNA with a protein coat, basically.

Yep. :eek:

If that leaves Africa, we're screwed. :(

I'll be concerned if ebola or Marburg can be carried in the air...until then...its another nasty nasty virus...like dengue fever (spread by mosquito)...

And of course....small pox. That one scares me as much as H5N1

What do you know, my science textbooks say cells are life and my health textbook that abstinence is the *only* way to guarantee you won't get pregnant or get STDs or get dumped.

Now that I remember they knew the monkeys at Reston were infected...and ran major containment on the facility. If they had been handled without protection things might have been different.

Cells are life. Virus aren't made up of cellls tho. Venon explained it pretty good.

" It has been argued extensively whether viruses are living organisms. Most virologists consider them non-living, as they do not meet all the criteria of the generally accepted definition of life. They are similar to obligate intracellular parasites as they lack the means for self-reproduction outside a host cell, but unlike parasites, viruses are generally not considered to be true living organisms. A primary reason is that viruses do not possess a cell membrane or metabolise on their own - characteristics of all living organisms. A definitive answer is still elusive because some organisms considered to be living exhibit characteristics of both living and non-living particles, as viruses do. For those who consider viruses living, viruses are an exception to the cell theory proposed by Theodore Schwann, as viruses are not made up of cells.

You want the environmental response? Man. Man messes up everything... And woman has to clean up efter him! :D

Just in case this hasn't been mentioned yet...

Jack Handy was right. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just eating and trampleing everything in it's path.

That's closely seconded by Strong Bad's nomination os a bear holding a shark, the scariest thing a cheat could ever lay eyes on...

Alive?

The bacteria that cause Malaria?

That's a parasite.

Now that I remember they knew the monkeys at Reston were infected...and ran major containment on the facility. If they had been handled without protection things might have been different.

No, it wouldn't have, because a large number of people have been infected with Reston. Not one experienced any symptoms whatsoever. Reston is harmless to humans.


As for deadliest living thing, it's a toss-up between humanity and TB.

Yup it has to be people, American radicals however are the most deadly of that type :p

Spiders do not kill fast.
They keep their prey alive to the limit.
They like fresh meat, like me.

Like priests, spiders have time and neurones to satisfy a great appetite for life

Seem you are right to a point.

There have been 5 recorded Reston outbreaks (up to 2003). Two (the first ones) 8 humans developed anti bodies. The other three outbreaks no humans were infected. No humans became ill.

http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/spb/mnpages/dispages/ebotabl.htm

As for there being a large number of people infected...sorry but I need a link to that. Remember Reston comes from monkeys imported from the Philippines...and as far as I am aware there have been no ebola outbreaks in the Philippines.

My point with regard to Reston is that if it is airborne then there is a chance that Zaire might go that way as well. And if that happens...if it can spread as easily as that (airborne)...then we are fux0red.

I agree with you that TB is a danger...even London is facing a TB nightmare. But the thing with TB is that we know how to deal with it. The sad thing is that no one is willing to spend the money to remove that blight.

However Malaria kills more people than TB.

I hate North Carolina. :mad:

And with good reason.



Oh, and everyone knows the Landsharks are the deadliest things alive.
