So funny, Just happened. wanted to share it

Hey guys. A funny thing just happened and I just wanted to share it with you for a laugh.

So I am in my college dorm room and I just told my (non-bitcoiny) roomate that I received some Bitcoins to an address that I am not using publicly, So I was wondering who sent me the coins.

Then he said, "Be careful maybe there is a virus with the bitcoins you got and it will steal your wallet"......................................

you know when you go to a bar and a complete stranger says some random crap about his life that means absolutely nothing and is not a bit funny and all you and people around you can do is to look at them silently..... well

  but he thought someone could inject a tx with maleware

While currently impossible, there is some questions as to if this might be somehow possible using the OP_EVAL codes that are enabled in testnet. So.....not entirely crazy.

In fact I think someone injected a virus scanner test signature to see if this would auto-gobble-up the blockchain.

As far as I know, there are no plans for OP_EVAL on the main chain.  The idea was discarded long ago in favor of other approaches to the desired functionality, partly because of the very issues you mention.

I can't even find any references to OP_EVAL from this year.  And it's not on the wiki or any other current list of Bitcoin opcodes.

Is this not correct?

Is no-one else curious about this part of the story?
