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.”

We sorta movedin because it deals with zombies, and we like zombies.

‘Course we remember you.
Welcome back to our random wanderings.
Freezing rain here, schools closed, kids being extremely dumb on the roads right now.

Hi! Send some of that Global Warming my way. I’d like an excuse to stay home for a few days.

Hi guys, good to see you. Life in my new job has been way more hectic than I imagined it would be.

[Tax-chick]

Jobs can be like that :-). What kind of job?

[Aloysius88]

Full-time children’s pastor as opposed to the part-time position I held for 4 yrs. “Everybody knows” pastors have it easy. I guess there was still a teeny part of me that thought so too.

I hope it’s working out well, even if you’re stuned :-).

[Darksheare]

I’m doing 3rd shift security.
Been a nightmare lately.
Morons decided to run down my truck exit sign, among other things.

[Tax-chick]

Eeeek!

[Aloysius88]

It’s an exciting life, if that’s a fair description. Some parts are hard, like hospital visits and funerals, but I know I’m where I’m supposed to be, doing what I’m supposed to do.

Gotta run into the office. My wife is back with our sole surviving automobile. It’s my turn to use it. TTFN

The only thing that could make this thread more awesome is ninja priates.

Are those precursors to ninja prions?

[sionnsar]

Good morning. I’m about the same.

[sionnsar]

Life in my new job has been way more hectic than I imagined it would be.

Me too. But is it fun?

Schneider driver.
Took down a concrete filled steel post sign.
Behold the power of moronity.
*sigh*

[Darksheare]

Whoops, that’d be my fault.
I was lurkin’ when he typed that.

[darkangel82]

That was almost a Darwin award.

Not really, he’d have had to be driving nose on into it rather than backing into it.
And my truck exit sign would have had to be a bit bigger.
Like the concrete barrier sign out front of the building.

The sun just came out! Maybe I’ll go running when I get back from church.
