No, the solanum virus does not exist. The solanum virus is a virus in the book Zombie Survival Guide, written by Max Brooks.
He made up the virus to fit into the story on why Z-Day might happen.
A new reply.....
Actually, the so-called "SOLANUM" virus may be joke to scare the freaks out of anyone.....
But, if research can cause the same particular thing....
Let's discuss it...
Ever thought of the research considering breaking the limits of aging...
one sample of that is an anti-aging cream...
Actually, there's a larger research about it...
The research focuses on IMMORTALITY...
The hidden formula may be from the DNA strands of Turritopsis nutricula or immortal jellyfish on which it has been further research...
Actually, a mistake on this research may cause a catastrophic effect on the results...
Because extracting genes from a creature then initially importing other genes with the right DNA characteristics using the proper chemicals are one of the processes...
And the last thing they'll do is inject it to a test subject such as a lab rat......
This could cause the rat to mutate so that it's DNA could combine with the new DNA strand imported to it then the DNA composition of the new DNA recombinant would multiply itself thus reanimating the test subject....
Reanimating the test subject may cause it's cells to reanimate and mutate...
When the cells mutate, the brain cells are also reanimated, making the test subject's psychological state to change....... Actually, a mistake may cause the subject to decay because it loses the ability to resists decay-causing bacterias.... I Agree (from ares223)
Solanum Virus is real! Google "Sauce of the Living Dead"

What was the first Super hero?
The word 'superhero' is merely a 'modernism' for what has historically been simply termed, "comic book heroes".
As such, a crime-fighting adventurer does not have to literally have some "super" power to fit into the crime-fighting adventurer mould. This means that comic strips, such as Flash Gordon, The Phantom and 'Mandrake the Magician' existed well before Superman, for instance.
Superman (1938), on the other hand, is called the "prototypical superhero" possessing or acquiring paranormal or parahuman powers, which makes him the first of the superheroes.
What is the crisis in 'The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas'?

How do you become a super hero?
Let me ask you a question: why do you want to become a superhero? There are lots of ways to do it explained in the comics and on shows like Heroes, but the truth is, we can be super-heroic just as humans, by doing things that a lot of other people don't do... being truly kind, helping others, and saving other people from pain and anguish where possible. That is what we need in this world... not a few people who can fly and beat up bad guys, but real people who care and try to make things better rather than worse.
___
The real way to become a super hero is by doing what you know is the right thing even if no one else will. It'll put an impression on people. Yeah...just be nice to people and you're a superhero.

When I was about 11 or 12, I wanted to be a Hero [super-heroes need super-powers] ... someone like a mixture of Tarzan, Phantom and the Panther.
At about 14, I found all these different articles - old heaters and different things that were stored in our washing house that we weren't using. I called myself The Red Star, and drew the perfect 5 point star in red and wrote a message on papers. At nighttime, I climbed over all the people's fences in our block, quieted their animals where necessary, slipped along their pathways, opened their back doors where I could [fortunately it was in summer and doors were not locked] and placed both note and article inside their back rooms.
That was my young career as a 'super-hero' - it all occurred over only a few nights ... but I just couldn't help laughing when I was talking a few days later to one of my young friends up the road, who said that he threw some junk item that the people 'next door' tossed over his fence [and that they had thrown it back again!!!]
Well, I was 22 before I did anything similar anonymously again.
Two of us building missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints decided one night we'd leave a surprise for all our fellow workers and supervisors for the next morning. We re-appeared at the site one night and loaded up more and more levels of scaffolding with the bricks, blocks and other things needed for the spire that we were building at the time. Well, we both had a real chuckle when they all turned up the next morning and stood around wondering and puzzling over the work that had been done during the previous night.

No one can actually fly through the air, bend steel, or have other super powers.But you can make a start by helping people.

What are the important quotes in the house of the scorpion?
"What Matt hated about the creature was everyone´s assumption that he and Furball were the same... He couldn´t understand the difference between right and wrong. He was a dumb beast and so, apparently, was Matt"(85).
"'When you´re small, you can choose which way to grow. If you´re kind and decent, you grow into a kind and decent man´"(70).
"'I always say the truth is best even when we find it unpleasant. Any rat in a sewer can lie. It's how rats are. It's what makes them rats. But a human doesn't run and hide in dark places, because he's something more. Lying is the most personal act of cowardice there is´"(134).

== == Yes, both contain the Three Laws of Robotics.
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
The above is directly quoted from Isaac Asimov's The Complete Robot.
Climax of the house of the scorpion?
♥ The House of the Scorpion (2002) is a science fiction novel by Nancy Farmer about a young clone who is being raised to provide spare organs for the powerful drug lord
Plot summary
The story takes place in Opium, a strip of land between Mexico (now called Aztlán), and the United States created as a result of the Mexican Drug War. Opium, which is essentially an opium-producing estate, is ruled by Matteo Alacrán, also known as El Patrón. El Patrón's work-force consists of illegal immigrants whom the Farm Patrol (ex-criminals who are tempted with the offer of protection from the police) enslave when they find them crossing the border in either direction. These illegal immigrants become "eejits", mindless zombie slaves, after the Farm Patrol inserts computer chips into their brains.
The main character, Matt, is a clone of El Patrón, who intends to harvest Matt's organs when his own organs fail. Matt is treated cruelly by most of the Alacráns, is forbidden to leave the estate, and is kept ignorant that he is a clone until a cruel joke reveals his status. Matt is given a bodyguard, Tam Lin, who becomes a father figure to him.
After a near-fatal heart attack, El Patrón requires a transplant from Matt, but is foiled by Celia, the household cook and Matt's caregiver. El Patrón dies, leaving Matt still alive and no longer of any use to the Alacráns. Matt tries to escape the mansion in the ensuing chaos with the help of María, a young member of the Mendoza family, but the plan fails and María is taken away. Tam Lin pretends to betray Matt, but instead sets him on a path to Aztlán.
Matt is at first an outcast because the other boys think he is a spoiled aristocrat. However, Matt becomes a hero when he defies the Keepers and leads the boys in a rebellion against them after surviving the "bone yard". After liberating the Lost Boys, Matt manages to find María and her mother, the politically powerful Esperanza. From Esperanza, Matt learns that Opium is in lock down. No one can enter or leave the country. Only El Patrón's DNA (which is identical to Matt's) can deactivate the border security. Matt manages to re-enter Opium, but only to learn that almost no one he knew is still alive. El Patrón viewed his family as his possessions, and arranged for them to die with him.
Esperanza, María's mother, tells Matt that because he is a clone of the dead El Patrón, he has inherited Opium and is the new El Patrón. She offers Matt her support, as well as the aid of both the United States and Aztlán, provided that he promises to destroy Opium from within. Matt agrees, and returns to Opium, planning to shut down the drug empire and turn the eejits back into normal humans.

What is the purpose of science fiction?
Entertainment and escapism. Science fiction, or speculative fiction, is a genre of writing that uses known scientific facts and postulates future worlds and technology. The purpose of such fiction is to explore possibilities and dream up new ideas. If there were no science, there would be no science fiction, so the two go hand-in-hand. Many people are exposed to the world of scientific imagination for the first time by reading or watching science fiction!
