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'll join you on that.

I never said I was Catholic! I have friends and family who are Catholic, so it really doesn’t matter to me. If you believe in it, fine. If you don’t, that’s fine, too.

Just be who you are, and don’t make excuses for it. And that’s the way I live. ;o]

Yah. Got pulled away a while by the need to write my weekly status report, but am getting back to them now. the report was much longer because I had to produce a summary of my mission in India.

LOL! My father-in-law used to use that one when he lived in Belgium (60s).

Well, since you’re the Castle’s Resident Globe Trotter, you are allowed certain er...”allowances” that others may have to request.

Besides...the still doesn’t work as well with you gone.

Just like the wine press is a little less...efficient and produces wines a little less “tasty” than when Dr. Ms. Tulip was devoting a few hours a week to said endeavor.

;o])

LOL! I actually "stole" that one from Igor, when he was a (relatively) nice guy. (Rest his soul.)

He knew I had been Catholic, so I guess he was doing his best to make light of it all. He liked fish. I don't.

I'm glad all I have to take care of is the weather ... in a closed habitat.

How easy can things be...?

I’ve forgotten what I’m in charge of. I think it’s the library ~~ fireplace, furs, furniture/pillows, hot and cold foods, wine and um...er...other things.

I think.

Maybe.

Hmmm... a bit of a contradiction, don't you think?

Whisky stills are tricky. Still waiting for the day when we produce our own peat.

You mean...an oxymoron? Like a wine cellar on the 20th floor? Yah....
Or jumbo shrimp...
Or fight apathy...
Or conservative liberal...

The only fish I eat is tuna or halibut...but only about once a year.

Yup. But you forgot the telescope. Mentioned in a much earlier thread, and not one of the big astronomer variety, but appropriate for the library.

OHYAH! Thanks! I have it here...somewhere. It seems to have gotten “lost” among the furs and pillows.

Well, at least your elevated walkway is about the perfect distance to hear the pipes when you decide to stand watch, but not TOO close to disturb the ambiance.

For the most part I agree, but I'll add scrod (east coast) and other mild-tasting fish to the list.

It’s only 6 PM but I am fading really fast. I need to say “Good night” while I still can. See y’all tomorrow.

If it tastes like fish, I won’t eat it! And that’s the TRUTH!
