The famous anecdote
"On board the space station discovered a giant virus that infected Soviet
cosmonaut" may be not so absurd: Biologists have discovered a virus of
such size that they have no right to believe in it.
Initially called it
simply - NLF, a new form of life (New Life Form). Strange body, a dedicated
French microbiologist from sea water samples, pick up off the coast of Chile,
infects the simplest - amoebas. Soon, the same body showed up and in Australia.
