*nevermind*

The BBC took down the link. Basically, it was about a strain of Malaria that has so far had a 100% mortality rate that kills in 2 days in Cambodia. The disease supposedly causes a restarting of the heart after a few hours after the demise. It lasts for two hours, and the people turn into violent psychopaths. Condoleeze Rice supposedly made a statement about how this was a deadly biological weapon.

I'm guessing it was a joke.

It would be a medical wonder if they could make a braindead person to get alive. This would have made a revolution in medical treatments, if it was real.

Nice one... I'm sure somebody fell for it. Otherwise... The random IP, as well as the ".stm.htm" extension would seem rather fishy to me. Not to mention that that article number on the actual site is dedicated to "Syrian troops vacate Lebanese HQ". And that the sidebar topics on the article still appear to be more relevant to said Syrians than to Cambodians.

Still would be kinda interesting if it was real, though... Don't really think it's likely or anything, though. Kinda hard to undo braindeath.

That's awesome! Yet horrible.

Too bad it's fake, though. That's not BBC News' IP. The IP of BBC News is 212.58.240.142.

(for the record, Malaria isn't a virus)

Not only is it the wrong IP, but BBC's articles always end in a .stm extension - no extra .html after it.

Trust me, I've been fooled by fake BBC links before - last year on April 1 I thought Canada was going to play a soccer game against England.

Um, trap, they're obviously talking about using the restarting of the organs thing and not the inject the chemical to screw up brain function thing.

OMG ZOMBIES!!! HIDE!!!!

Wow, it makes me want to watch that South Park episode where they start chopping all the heads of the zombies off, and then when they call for help, the person on the other end tells them "Whatever you do, DON'T start randomly chopping off the heads of all the zombies."

Spoiler:
Check the date of the article...

The last time I saw one of these, it turned out to be a screamer. Not funny.


EDIT: If this was real, I would probably crap myself for more reasons than one...

I really at first thought this was real. Then Darth Jarukoth said to look at the date. I think that stupid April Fools pranks shouldn't be this creepy... Note to self, start hating April Fools more...

THAT'S what tipped you off? Prior to that being stated, you have people saying it's the wrong IP, I say malaria isn't a virus unlike what they say, Colleen saying the extention is wrong, and THIS is what convinces you it's fake? Ugh.

Add a second note to self in there, but make sure you add: "With assistance from Kefka" as well...

It should read something like "Don't be such a gullible dumbass"

Wait, you're gonna help him not be "such a gullible dumbass"? That seems unusually charitable of you.

Alas, when I do a charitable act, it usually is all for not.

How do I think this act will turn out? Well, for starters, I don't think this kid has the brain capacity to actually make use of "notes to self".

I think the big problem is that we've pretty much confirmed the damn thing's a joke article and yet we have "For real" in the topic title. Kind of a clash there. :\
