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.”

Yep. In four months time. Without even trying.
I was too sick to eat.

[Monkey Face]

Uhoh...

When I was about six my grandmother baked a cake the was soft and had allot of crumbs. So I said this a real crumby cake.

[Monkey Face]

Once, when Igor insisted on eating crackers in bed, I told him he was a really crumby lover...

They had kids in high school at the time.

I just got my new ISP. last test 2012.5 kbps

[callisto]

I just think it’s cool to be over a quarter of a millenium ...

well according to my cable guide, Time-Warner says it's "changing the date to" the year "128599040"...I think I need to reboot the box because I REALLY feel old now. It must be calculating Mercurian years!

[Monkey Face]

I don’t want a new ISP...this one sucks enough, especially for the money I pay...

[Monkey Face]

YOIKS!!!

I’m only as old as I feel...and tonight, I like to feel...The Chippendales!

[callisto]

A gift for you then (hope this isn't a big red X when it posts)

[Monkey Face]

LOL!!

I worked in a camera shop in Reseda (CA) before the Northridge Quake, and had occasion to meet some of the Chippendales, when they came in to pick up their publicity shots.

Some even gave me their cards....which I still have...drool spots and all...;o]

Hope your daughter is better soon. We’ve managed to avoid all the crud this winter, but I hear from my friends that it’s been bad.

My husband took 4 kids to the Cub Scouts banquet last night (Bill and 3 girls, leaving me with Tom and the Aliens), and he said they had fewer people than expected because of whatever is going around.

bttt

Don’t want to lose the real U_T.

[callisto]

Thanks, but I think I just woke up with the crud. Yuck!! Based on how I feel I think my little girl has not been telling me the extent of her misery.

[Tax-chick]

Sorry to hear that! You’ll be joining the zombies, I guess ...

[NicknamedBob]

"You’ll be joining the zombies, I guess ..."

Happens to me every morning. Thank goodness for coffee.

[callisto]

I feel like one already.

[Tax-chick]

Best wishes for a quick recovery. Go back to bed!

[darkangel82]

I don’t feel so good either. I haven’t even been able to drive because of all the cold medicine I took.

[NicknamedBob]

I feel fine.

Boy, it’s quiet around here! Is everyone waiting for the big Kosovo Independence Day blowout party?

[darkangel82]

Party? Where?
