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 had a friend how had his own sign language he use while talking to parents of kids in his glass. Small unnoticed jesters that allowed him to maintain sanity while talking to certain parents.

...I just wish there was more I could do!

The only thing you can do at this moment in time is to pray that your mother is offered the best options in care for your father.

The rest of it is up to her, unless she chooses to move closer to you. It's so hard to see this happen....

For what it's worth, Las Vegas ALWAYS has need of people like DP. If he has a yen to spread his familial wings, he should check this place out. It will NOT stop growing or have a "recession."

My son-in-law has always worked for himself. In November of 2007, he went to work for Siemens, in their fire control center. It was so far out of his baliwick, he thought they were crazy to hire him. They trained him, and they have excellent benefits. He won't be leaving any time soon...

That works. As long as the kids understand, that’s all that matters!

Hi, TT! Good to see you!

I tried the pancake thing. Do you have any more details? I have run into some small problems.

Which pancake thing?

The one I sometimes have on my head?

Or the one I often try to pawn off as something I “just made, so trust me?”

"I tried the pancake thing. Do you have any more details? I have run into some small problems."

You didn't disperse the popcorn evenly throughout the pancake batter, did you?

Think about it; if the pancake lifts off evenly, it will just come down on the same side.

It has to flip itself.

Try putting the popcorn on only one side and get back to us.

Er.... I’m sorry, TT,but I have CFIDS, and that alone allows me a certain amount of latitude when it come to colonoscopies. No one will ever ever get rich trying to sell pre-colonoscopy products to me.

I look at it this way: you’ll never get out of this world alive. If you have a painful disease (cancer of whatever) you’ll be given morphine to make your days pain-free.

If I can out with a buzz on, it’s all good!

Well, you did say she had shed her skin.

She was probably looking for something to put on.
