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.”

Excellent point. She was very cold! I think that, after she escapes, it doesn’t take long for her to get too cold to move.

Good Morning!

The rain is done for a few days. Still too wet for a ride out to the cow patties today—will have to drive the truck—bummer. :o(

Of course, having a cold isn’t making it easier.

40’s here, and the fog is gone. We have to go to Walmart later. It seems like I do nothing with my whole life except buy groceries!

It sounds like she needs a hugh cage. With a locking lid.

[Monkey Face]

All I can complain about is allergies. My sinuses are killing me.

[Tax-chick]

The lid snaps on the top of the cage, but it’s not quite secure at the corners! I have *two* large books on it now :-).

My computer says the temperature is 52; looks like I can run after lunch.

[Monkey Face]

*brrrrr*

My computer says 51. With wind at 2, right out of the north.

I’ll wait till later to go out.

What’s really getting to me is the heavy smell of cow pee permeating everything. It is always really bad after the rain, and of course with the sun out on high beam this morning, the smell only promises to get worse for a couple of days.

Awake early this morning again. Almost getting on to four hours at work.

Ick.

[Monkey Face]

I went to a friend’s house yesterday, and the house two doors away has three or four horses. I had forgotten how they smelled, and now, of course, my sinuses hate me.

[Monkey Face]

Does that mean you can go home early?

[rottndog]

What darkangel said.

[rottndog]

‘I’ll take mustard and jalapenos on my hot dog’?

[Monkey Face]

Er...What part of the dog did you get?

The Buddhist said to the vendor, “Make me one with everything!”

[Tax-chick]

Afternoon, y’all. I went running, and then to Walmart. Now I’m thinking about having some pretzels. Bill and Tom have to be at church at 6:00!

[Lady Jag]

When the vendor made the Buddhist one with everything, he asked for change.

What did the vendor say?

[rottndog]

I’m becoming one with a bowl of chicken noodle soup.
