Although viruses are very small, I have met some very nice viruses in my life.
One of them is Justin, which I met during school, a statistically perfect virus that is about 70nm in diameter (Yes I measured him). Statistically perfect. Justin lacked an envelope. This makes Justin actually protected from organic solvents. Justin said:
"I can survive in the GIT."
I doubted him. I told him that it is impossible. That was when I lost a friend. As Justin lacked an envelope to penetrate my heart with spikes, he just ignored me.
Then I realised that Justin was not a phage. He was just a simple virus.
Moral of the story is, don't judge a virus by its envelope.
But then again he isn't really an organism, is he?
