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.”

Good evening all! Can't stick around long (even if anyone's awake), because my hosts are coming in a few minutes to take me to dinner.

Here's a picture taken about 26 hours ago, the top of the Karnataka state legislature building (think Bangalore, India), a few minutes' walk from here.

Take a look at the inscription -- these people are in trouble! *\;-) (The stuff about the English is in Kannada, the language of this state.)

"The stuff about the English is in Kannada, the language of this state."

Oh, Kannada ...

Hmm, reminds me of a song.

Thanks for the pictures, Sionnsar!

LOL too! (Probably gone for the night now - I know my hosts will have me out late and my wifi access will run out before I’m back...)

I hope it’s nice there, too! We’re on our way out now, having retrieved Elen from her friend’s house up the street, where she was spending the night.

So cold outside the Atomic Clock quit showing the temperature. I just replaced the batteries in that stupid thing.

And now, off to the cow patties...(yes the cow patties where the beef is being recalled)...
