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.”

Yahbut...in a few weeks, I’ll have enough for both of us and then some! :o])

Don't try to muscle in on my business, Buster!

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

I’m outta here for the night.
My bed is yelling at me!

[Tax-chick]

Here a pet-funny: A few minutes ago, I was practicing a new song we’re going to do next Sunday, and when I got through a couple of verses and the chorus, I was a full tone flat. Wednesday came out from under the table, put her paw on my knee, and said, “Quark! Yeep rowr? Guack!”

[NicknamedBob]

“Quark! Yeep rowr? Guack!”

And who can argue with that?

[Tax-chick]

Indeed. I agreed with her wholeheartedly, and thumped her firmly on the back. She likes that.

[rottndog]

Just business....

and your patent on sunshine is what #?

[darkangel82]

If it had been me practicing, she would have hid under the bed with her ears covered.

[NicknamedBob]

My patent isn’t on sunshine.

My business is the bringing of it. It’s kinda like “light insurance”.

[rottndog]

Kinda like the teamsters...

[NicknamedBob]

Besides ...

I found out I couldn’t patent it. Previously invented.

Some outfit called the “Let-There-Be Light” Company.

[NicknamedBob]

"Kinda like the teamsters... "

Or the Punsters.

You just wait til your father gets home!



I'm quaking in my boots, El Face-O. Maybe he'll get rid of that Eddie Haskell punk once and for all.

I’m considered (by objective observers) to have a pleasant voice and a nice accent in Spanish. However, I do go flat when I haven’t worked on a song enough!

[NicknamedBob]

I think Wednesday was being “objective”.

By the way, does your accent in Spanish have a “Yankee twang”?

[sionnsar]

Hello and maybe good night all. Wrestling with cellphone upgrade difficulties...

[HKMk23]

New unit?

Did the upgrade thing, myself a couple of weeks ago. COSTCO had a $119.00 Nokia 6555 for $119.00 off. My account was eligible... How could I resist?

BEST feature: PTT [Push-To-Talk] Think “verbal IM-ing.” No more thumb fatigue. Just like a cell call, but there’s no ring-ring-ring while you wait for your party to answer, AND it works with GROUPS, so you can get a gang of folks on the horn all at once. Hello, “Flash Meeting”?

BTW: I owe you “Thanks” for the Kubuntu “LiveCD” tip. I downloaded Gutsy to a DVD+R, and am posting to you using Konqueror.

So far; so good.

[rottndog]

LOL!

[Tax-chick]

No, it's sort of "Texan redneck." One of the ladies who's joined our group is from Colombia, and the other is from Puerto Rico. All of us pronounce words a little differently!

[Dead Corpse]

Yep. About 10 to one set, 15 to the other.

Should work out great whenever Zon and I go out on a "date".
