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.”

What else would you do when you write or sketch?
I mean, music soothes the savage breast.

She has talent, I’ll give her that.
“I walk alone” sorta fits the vampire story short I half wrote.
(Half because I never finished it. Didn’t know where to take it to.)

Sometimes I see in the mind’s eye the story, and the action.
Hence why I wish I could do animation.

I “see” things and want to create them, but don’t know how to paint.... *sigh*

My paint skills need lots of help, and patience that I do not have.

“Sometimes I see in the mind’s eye the story, and the action.”

I’ve often wished to be able to project the images produced in my mind when I’m in a creative mode onto a computer screen that would “record” the images. I’m so rarely in that mindset anymore, but thank you for reminding me of the “flow” I used to enjoy quite frequently. I keep telling myself that I’m going to achieve that mental state one weekend, but for some reason I always seem to have something systems-related to do.

Hmmm...maybe I should work on that idea when I’m using the left-side of my brain.

Coming from a family of artists, I should be able to do SOMEthing. I know HOW, I know colors, but my brain refuses to put it all together the way it should be. And THEN I lose patience.

It’ll jump out of your head at some point.
Was being a goof in the Doors thread and had the following escape from the negative energy confines of my skull:

Swoon, or faint from fright?
Dance and caress by candle light?
Or wander weary in ever night?
Just this thing, I know it’s trite-
But it’s only a simple tender bite...

-Vampire’s bliss.

Being the son of artt talented people, and the grandson of art talented people who could use paints the way wordsmiths meld words, I should be able ot use paint like a toy.
After all, pencil work is natural to me.
But, paint stubbornly refuses to bend to my will.

Paint thumbs it’s nose at you as well?
Or your family is jam packed with art type people?

Yeah, I’m getting Error 502 as well.
Dunno if John has any threads up about the problem as of yet.
But it is obvious that something is happening.
(Good luck, John.)

At least you don’t hear red sounds, or lavender mews from one of the cats we have.
