Zombie attacks might increase due to global warming, study shows

A new study by scientists has suggested that zombie attacks might increase if the current projections of global warming are realized. “If the earth gets warmer, it means longer springs, summers, and falls, and shorter winters,” said John Carpenter-Romero, Ph.D., a zombie-ologist who co-authored the study. “And shorter winters means more time for the undead to prey on the populace.”

Dr. Harrister, the other co-author, and head of Zombie Robotics at Wayward Robot, Inc., explained that cold winters typically stalled the walking dead. “It is well known that zombies can’t operate in cold weather. It freezes their brains.”

The pair calculated a 32.782412% increase in zombie attacks if CO2 increased to twice its pre-industrial rate. “Clearly, this is a very troubling result,” said Dr. Harrister, “If we don’t do something soon, the streets will be filled with blood.”

You spit this stuff out and you are nuts.

Of course you buy a bottle and you are even more nuts. Or Montgomery Brewster.

Pretty. I’m not a vodka drinker. Russian gasoline. But a cheap variety is a good base for fruit liqueurs, if you’ve got time on your hands.

Good morning, merry sunshine! Baby was up at 4:30, singing the alphabet and bonking me with his massive bald head. I feel like the Lilliputians were beating me with tiny hammers all night!

And now, off to copy lyrics for the Spanish Mass.

"How much vodka can you buy with loyalty money?"

Enough to remain loyal for many hours, possibly days.

Too much loyalty can be a bad thing.

Today as I sit huddled in my warm robe, (the furnace is on the blink, it is 1 degree and snowing, church is canceled) I have decided to count my blessings. I have a whole bucket load

First off I am thankful for my husband and not just because he made me a three tier hanging basket to keep my lemons, limes and oranges from spoiling. How often do you find a guy who can cook, hammer a nail and give good back rubs?

I am thankful for a new job, while so many are out of work I upgraded. No more six day weeks or 4:00am starts!

I am thankful that my dad is getting better. About a week ago he was injured when a aerosol can that had been tossed into the burn pit exploded. Although he was burned his eyes and his lungs and throat were untouched. Which is a blessing as quality medical help is a short five hour plane ride away. (providing you get injured on a day the planes are flying).

I am thankful that Number One Niece got a full scholarship and a job where she earns college "life learning credit" as well as pocket money.

I am thankful for my church and pastor who have helped keep me on the straight and narrow. When ever I fall they are waiting to pick me up, dust me off and help me get back on my way.

I am thankful for the friends I have made here. You have enriched my life more then you can ever know.

It do. That is the world’s most expencive vodka at a million bucks a bottle. It is filtered through crushed gemstones. My only question is, why gemstones?
