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.”

Hope you’re feeling better! We had vegetarian calzone instead of the pizza buffet - but it probably had a million points anyway!

I’ll skip Bill’s Mexican chicken dinner and eat a dish of leftover pumpkin soup.

I had a Chicken Taco Salad with an iced tea for lunch. Probably 85 degrees out in Riverside today. Beautiful.

"No zombie invasion though."

I would say "sorry to hear your weather is bad," but it looks like your getting snow and I'm jealous! I learned to drive in knee-deep snow on Long Island. Coming from NC I thought they were crazy, but it turns out it was fun!! BTW, nights like tonight are prime for zombies. Just in case, read this quickly... The Zombie Survival Guide, :)

A million ~ schlamillion. You do it once in a while with a friend, so the points don’t count. ;o]

I ate and immediately regretted it, even though I was pretty hungry. *sigh*

I suspect I’ll be looking for some bread soon, since I have no crackers...

Unfortunately, the weather means my relief will call out in the morning, again.
(Her exact words at 0252 this morning were, “Oh, I must be sick. I hope I don’t have the flu.”)

That sucks. Too bad you can’t staple her feet to the floor....

That’s not the part of her that needs stapling.
