Bizarre giant viruses with tubular tentacles and star-like shells discovered in New England forest

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!"

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.
