To quote Rudy Rucker (http://www.boingboing.net/2007/05/29/rudy-rucker-on-synth.html) on what is likely to happen when lab-developed microorganisms escape into the wild:
I have a mental image of germ-size MIT nerds putting on gangsta clothes and venturing into alleys to try some rough stuff. And then they meet up with the homies who’ve been keeping it real for a billion years or so.
