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.”

I choose The Rancor.
(Or so says the guy who submitted the pic to SOF files.)

[Darksheare]

Unngh.
Undead thread is dead at the moment.

[darkangel82]

I am here...for now.

Why is this important story not in Breaking News?!?

This site has gone to h*ll!

[Darksheare]

Twisted.
But I lost my train of thought.

So I glued an Evian to a 2x4 and threatened the intruder with it.
He scratched his head and asked what the heck I was doing.
I told him, “You’re being waterboarded.”
He ran off screaming.

ROFL!

[Darksheare]

Came to mind today when somebody said something ‘duh’ to me at work.

[Monkey Face]

I guess it’s time I made an appearance. Again.
The last couple of weeks have been brutal for me, for reasons I won’t go into, but I tried to lay low today to head off the worst of the relapse.
I plan to be here every day, but it may be just to do some drive-by posts.
So.
What did I miss?

[Darksheare]

Well.. the dwarves began their ritual ear cleaning.
You should be able to hear the chiseling from here.
They wandered into the quarantine zone.
I expect confusion from the denizens of said quarantine zone.

[Monkey Face]

Erk. Dang.
I hate when I miss that.
So I ate all that popcorn for nothing...?

[Darksheare]

Nope.
The entertainment is just beginning.
We have more popcorn by the by.

[Tax-chick]

Hi! I haven’t done anything but Girl Scout cookies and a nap with Vlad. (Almost too old to nap with me :-(.

[Monkey Face]

*whew*

I really need a laugh! And I can always eat popcorn.

[Monkey Face]

I hope my daughter got some GS cookies for me. She’s supposed to do my nails tomorrow, and it would be nice to bring home some yummy stuff!

When my oldest grandson comes to visit, he and I always sleep in the same room. Up until he was 10, we would sleep on the floor...(he’s 5’5”)...now, he sleeps on the sofa and I sleep on the floor. Of course, that’s after we’ve talked half the night...

He used to drag his blanket into the living room in the middle of the night and curl up with me. I guess it was about the only comfort he got in those days.

[Darksheare]

Well.. in post 1502 above is a link to “Vote RANCOR in 08” pic from SOFfiles..

[Monkey Face]

That was cool!

[Darksheare]

I’d love to know if the guy actually ported the Rancor model to SOF2... that would be fun.

[Monkey Face]

You’re right!
I hope that was a real IRS agent! LOL!

[Darksheare]

LOL!
