This is hilarious. "My roomates are a little weirded out",since I, you know, grow viruses in the attic... With sewer water.

Having worked in a virus lab in the past, I CAN reassure folks that you can't order dangerous pathogens without all sorts of certifications you won't easily find, say, in your garage. But this is still not a very good idea. Mixing bacterial or viral strains together in a human-like environment... somebody slap that kid. How will he test it's efficacy, anyway? On his roomate with an ear infection?
