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.”

I always thought all cats are freaks at one level or another. Too bad I can’t have any.

That expression looks just like Wednesday!

Thanks for the chuckles - now I’m heading my troops to their beds for naps. They all had trouble getting up this morning.

I love cats. Dogs too. I may even try and bridge the cat/dog gap and get a cat the size of most medium/large sized dogs. Siberian Lynx are supposedly very family friendly and make decent pets with training.

My parents cats, however, are Hell Spawn.

Yahoo! Finally finished the document processing from last month's meetings, just in time to go home and pack.

I’m still trying to get my stuff together so I can go visit my brother in AZ. Tentative plans are for the 4th of March.

Drat! Just discovered the agent put me down for "Vegetarian (non-dairy)" for these flights...

Not quite the same as "Hindu"...

About 300 miles. Maybe not that far. It’s a five hour drive at 65. I’ll be driving faster, though!

That's not too bad, especially if it's scenic.

Unlike crossing the first half of Oregon southbound on I-5, which is just boring...

Had to call the airline to get my meals changed. No "hindu" option any more, sigh.

I-5 is stunning in its boredom. The only time it gets interesting is when it crosses the Columbia River.

All of AZ is scenic. You wouldn’t think a desert could be diverse, but AZ is. It’s almosr too pretty to be stuck behind the wheel, but from the air, it just looks dry and burned up. Up close, it’s green and beautiful.

There are places it’s not bad, like southern Oregon and near Shasta. But last year when the church camp was at Mt. Lassen we drove down I-97. This year it’ll be on the CA coast an hour south of Crescent City, so it looks like I-5 again. Unless we camp the OR coast on the way down.

Face honey, I've got one for you!

HOW THE FIGHT STARTED

I rear-ended a car this morning. So there we are alongside the road and slowly the driver gets of the car. . . and you know how you just-get-sooo-stressed and life-stuff seems to get funny?

Yeah, well, I could NOT believe it . . . he was a DWARF!

He storms over to my car, looks up at me and says, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!' So, I look down at him and say, 'Well, which one are you then?'

. . . and that's when the fight started . . .
