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.”

Oh, nothing. Just checking to see what’s new in the Undead Thread.

All’s quiet. No zombies around on Saturday mornings.

It’s morning. I think.
The zombies are hard at work in the Lower Levels. They never sleep, y’know. The Dust Bunnies keep them quite busy.
I don’t know about the spiderbots, though. They might be fomenting a rebellion.
Or devising some ‘splodey things for entertainment.

My Offspring are conspiring to blow up (or burn, or smash) a sugar-cube pyramid that Elen made for the Egypt display. Elen wanted to eat the sugar, even though it’s been glued ... We feed them, honestly!

I don’t even know if we could find sugar cubes here. I like them myself. It was a clever idea.

And as for “feeding them honestly,” I don’t know how you could do it DIShonestly and live to tell sbout it. *snigger*

Well, I dishonestly gave them a bunch of Girl Scout cookies that we were supposed to deliver to other people ... but my Cookie Mom got me some more :-).

We could, at the pace in which we're posting, but I seem to recall there is already a fun new thread awaiting our arrival.

LOL!

I’m sure the same thing would have happened to me, had I been the Keeper of the GS Kookies! LOL!
