Look pally boy, the humor is in the perceived threat of worms/virusses from aliens (do a little thinking on that issue.. and you'll get it) not in a "haha, poor Window user/suckers, their boxes are at risk from being attacked from outer space and we, superior Linux users are immune to such attacks" attitude, as you seem to think.
Your ramblings (yes, that wat they are) could have been spared from public view at all. They add nothing. You describe how a worm (yes a worm, not a virus) works.. Every sane person knows that Linux based systems are not immune to worms. That is why Linux distributors issue patches to their distros on a regular basis. That is way every sane sysadmin patches his boxes with these fixes. Sane sysadmins run virusscanners on their mail servers (to filter out Windows virusses and worms) and run intrunsion decection systems on their boxes as well.
