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 found this new show that is absolutely fascinating.

So far, (I've only watched the first episode), it lends itself to men bashing, which I don't like, but if you look past that, and listen to the people speaking, it's riveting.

Hit The Road Jill

The week the women went.

Hitlery’s been in our state, too.

It sounds very interesting. I noticed that none of the men with children seem to be married, though!

If I still lived where I used to, I would’ve been about eight minutes away from where she was. Ick.

[Tax-chick]

Bad aura!

[fanfan]

I thought some of them were, I’ll have to watch it again.

[Tax-chick]

It could have just been the phrasing on the link you posted.

[Tax-chick]

Just look at this!

Good job on the cover-up, Bob!

"Good job on the cover-up, Bob!"

If you'll remember, that same Nessie was the burglar who broke into our floating Castle and sullied our innocent plesiosaur in the dead of night.

How was I supposed to know I should have been sitting up with a shotgun?

I don't think Nessie is dead, I think the poor bloke hunting him has run out of steam, and understandably so.

[Tax-chick]

I don't think Nessie is dead,

Just hiding, in case you come back with a shotgun?

I think the poor bloke hunting him has run out of steam, and understandably so.

Yes, at 85, the gentleman should move to Florida and enjoy the Global Warming.

Too far to travel now, even for Guinness.

Besides, I tend to like local brews.

[Tax-chick]

I always make room for local wine, even in Oklahoma. Missouri’s was better, though.

[NicknamedBob]

And “local” has a different meaning out here in the Asteroid Belt.

By the way, someone has been putting up some nice sake over in Habitat B.

Quite so. I have to say I'm not fond of sake. I guess it's an acquired taste, more subtle than Cheap Pink Wine from whichever state I live in.

We're getting the last batch of Offspring off to bed (loud howls from Somebody ...) and I'm going to have a Bonding Experience with Whatsisname, the Father of My Children.

Seeya!

*Bob quietly picks up a book.*

Enjoy!

[rottndog]

Enjoy!

[NicknamedBob]

Ahem.

Just sayin’...
