In a program designed by IBM, I am donating the spare, unused power of
my HOME computer for medical research -- power that would just be WASTED
if it wasn't donated. Even while I write this message, my computer is
helping find a cure for all sorts of diseases such as Alzheimer's, AIDS,
cancer, diabetes, lyme disease, malaria, multiple sclerosis, muscular
dystrophy, Parkinson's Disease, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)
and many others. It just takes a few minutes of time to sign up. It's
very safe and reliable, and it won't slow down your computer, either.
The life that YOUR computer can help save ... just might be the life of
someone you love! Please join us so we can all help one another make
this a healthier world. After you see how wonderful this works, please
pass this message on to your friends, too. For more info, please visit

personal webpage summarizing grid computing in general and promoting the
World Community Grid in particular.
Thanks.

I've devoted my extra computer time to inventing new diseases. The
extra clock cycles are used to combine nucleic acid sequences from
viruses such as HIV, smallpox, polio, ebola, bird flu, etc. in an
attempt to find new combinations that are especially lethal.
What's especially interesting are the legal ramifications. I've
discovered that incorporating even the slightest bit of HIV DNA
can bestow civil rights on viruses like smallpox, ebola, and SARS.
I'm almost done splicing a dozen HIV nucleotides into H5N1, so by
tomorrow the media will finally stop talking about it.
