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.”

Those glaciers are horrible.
They leap out from nowhere, crush a few people, then slip away, leaving naught but a debris trail in their wake.

Heck, the cold got to my gates last night, the one bobbed like one of those novelty drinking birds..

I’m familiar with that feeling! LOL!

I didn’t get the vanilla YOUR father got the vanilla and forgot the fudge. And nuts.

[Darksheare]

How could he forget the nuts?
The family is full of ‘em, plus pirates and horse thieves.

[DJ MacWoW]

Where I really want to be is out in a garden full of roses. Instead I’m looking for ancestors who don’t want to be found or had 2 wives and 20 kids. (the lecher)

[DJ MacWoW]

Frederick didn’t steal that horse. He ate it. Besides........that’s your fathers family.

[Monkey Face]

Wait until you get into the Royalty....now THAT is a mess!

[Darksheare]

Hey, that horse asked for it.
And at that point, it was either eat the horse or be eaten by the horse.

[DJ MacWoW]

We found some. I was actually more impressed with the Revolution Patriots.

I think the lemur wants the Power to Read, along with all the byos. Shannon got very excited about the snake, so Susan had to go back to her cage. She’s not moving much since the cold weather arrived again; also, she’s digesting a mouse.

[DJ MacWoW]

During Napoleons Russian retreat? You may be right.

[Darksheare]

Then there’s the frostbite he had to deal with.
As if having your horse look at you like a filet mignon wasn’t bad enough..
(Filet minion?)

I hate to leave when this is getting so good, but I have to get parallel to the deck. My bed is calling me.

Next time you’re on, DJ, we’ll have to continue this. (Now I’m REALLY curious about your genealogy!)

[Tax-chick]

Good night! I have to pick up Bill and Tom at church in a few minutes. Anoreth will drive me :-).

[Darksheare]

I myself need to prep for heading to work tonight.
Goodnight.
With any luck, see you ltaer on.

[Tax-chick]

You be careful out there!

[DJ MacWoW]

Yeah I wanna talk sources and how to research. I’ll catch up with you.

Mary had a lemur.
She kept it in her purse,
So whenever she might need a coin,
The lemur could disburse.

It was the latest style, of course,
Her colors matched its own,
Her cellphone also matched the pet,
They had the same ring tone.

[DJ MacWoW]

You would post that right after I just got a cup of tea! LOL

Hubby just walked in so I'm out of here for the night. Hope to see you tomorrow.

Dwarves have teeth?

According to Tolkien they do.
