I initially read this headline in an 80s surfer accent, and it changed the context just enough to make it awesome.

"Those viruses have tubular tentacles, dude!"

Dude, those bacteriophages are catching some gnarly waves on a cellular level!

Very cool! It'll be interesting to see what the purpose of weird tube appendages are in the future.

Could we stop with the viruses for a while, please? Just a few years is all I ask.

Currently in bed with my 5th virus within 8 months, and agree.
