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.”

Good Morning!

Sun’s out, clouds are not, and the atomic clock says 50 degrees outside. No need for chaps this morning, although I will need them for the ride home tonight.

Already had my coffee...all juiced up and ready to go.

I have a mission out at RNC this morning. Just came up last night. I have enough time to get to work, shuffle some papers, and head out for the service.

Gotta go...See Ya!

Yah, I was up late writing a number of legislators trying to kill a couple of bills, then up early because I didn’t remember what time a teleconference was and I had to finish packing. I’ll be gone 10-11 days.

Usually I can’t but I hope I can this time, or I’m really going to be in bad shape. First flight is about 10 hours, arriving in Paris about 8 AM.
