Bacteria and viruses are pretty scary things when you think about them. You can be walking down the street and suddenly, without knowing it and without having the chance to defend yourself you've been infected. In the morning you were blissfully healthy and in the evening your life has been changed in a way you could not have anticipated. It's creepy that sometimes you can't protect yourself from things except by becoming a hermit, and even then it's pretty spotty protection at best.
I am of course talking about Harry Potter. Kat tells me that portions of the book, or perhaps complete text have been leaked onto the internet and now the foaming hordes are posting spoilers everywhere...forum headers, comment boxes, random channel chats, etc. Half the spoilers are probably just made up on the spot by twits who want to join the chaos but nevertheless it's annoying. I myself have avoided any such infection. But it's really hard to turn off reading...so how do I know that the next page I click to isn't going to have Trelawney is REALLY Voldemorte! splashed across the header?
I don't. But I suppose that in these final days I must bravely walk down the street and trust that I won't be the sudden victim of an Unforgivable Spoiler...or germ...or whatever.
