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.”

I have given the forthcoming undead apocalypse a great deal of thought and study.

The secret to survival is uniformity, not super duper weapons. All you need are a bunch of ruger 10-22 rifles, ram line 30 round mags and numerous 500 round bricks of 22 LR ammo.

It’s a very economical way to fight a war.

Of course I have two glock 19s and a total of 27 extra magazines, so I’ve hedged my bets a little.

A screenplay is being written.

I am looking forward to it, even though it will probably have Brad Pitt playing the Max Brooks role.

Reminds me of college. Setting up fro gun cleaning day with my roomie. We had an unexpected guest show up and to see the shock on their face was priceless. I’m surprised we weren’t whisked away by ATF...

Good morning, Undead!

Are you getting the ice storm, Bob? We had over 1/2” of rain during the night.

And I lost 4.4 lbs. last week!

[Tax-chick]

I guess the zombies got everyone here. Maybe that’s also why I’m not hearing anything from my family ...

Sorta.
The Undead Thread never dies, it shuffles along and munches brains.
Sometimes it is a strangely fitting thread for us, like this one.
Sometimes it’s the remains of a freshly road killed troll.
But there’s always some connection.
Even if the thread is donated.

Sounds like fun.

Morning!
I am shambling around in unnatural life this morning.

[darkangel82]

Morning.
Unnatural life?

[Darksheare]

Yes.
Normally, I am laying down in unholy repose so that I can wander as scheduled after sundown on my appointed rounds.

But today I am awake and moving before the appointed time.

The stars are right, the sleeper awakens..

[Tax-chick]

Well, it’s nice to know everything is status quo on your end.

They are in the process of making the movie. Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B, picked it up, and J.Michael Strasinky (of "Babylon 5" fame) is writing the screenplay.

Last I eard, it may be out in November.

[Darksheare]

Well, rain sleet and ice on my end, but that’s normal.

[Tax-chick]

Cold rain falling here. We need the rain, but it’s not going to be fun going out today, and I have to go to church with some papers after lunch!

[Darksheare]

Freezing rain here now.
Schools closed.
Kiddies are gonna be nuts today.

Good Morning, T-C!

So far our ice storm appears to be rained out. I shall endeavor to conceal my disappointment.

Let me go see what driving conditions are like. I’ll report back later.
