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.”

I have to be very nice to my daughter when she does my nails. I mean, she DOES have the glue and the nippers!

LOL!

Yep.
My consolation is that he will be waiting for me. :o])

I even wrote a poem about him, but I don’t know where it is. Somewhere...

Mom still smirks and snickers when she speaks of the Nails glued to the table incident.

You will have to ask mom about it.
(She’s heading to Michigan to visit with relatives.)

A 22 pound longhaired cat doing half-calculated leaps at things kept me wishing I had armor plating..

Yes, but I bet you had a great household defense system. LOL
Cats are more methodical in their attacks...

If a stranger enters our house our boxer barks, jumps on them knocking them to the ground, then licks him to death...

Ahhh, the love of a cat! Well she may not have been the perfect “watchcat” but I bet you loved her nonetheless.

Yes, as long as she didn’t apply her claws to my backside during a graceful stretch.

That’s what my cat does...when he wants me to wake up in the morning he stretches his paw over to touch me. I can typically get away with gently rubbing him while I try to nod for a few more minutes, but when he’s had enough and wants breakfast he sticks his claws out, and into me, to show his displeasure. Of course, he wins and I get up...

Kearen simply wants me out of her way.
And who wouldn’t comply?
She’s a walking brick.

"That aughtta be interesting to referee."

You don't want to try that without a scorecard.

It sounds like a referee’s job is never done....I feel lucky to have a girl. I grew up as the only girl with 5 brothers so I think it’s God’s way of being kind. Unfortunately, Laura is sick this weekend requiring somewhat constant attention, hence my on-off status all day.

Ouch.
My step-daughter had one of those yo-yo fevers one particular day.
Her temp would bounce rapidly within seconds, and it was wringing her out.
Good luck.
