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.”

It’s OK, sion...
My daughter just came by with some vodka and some good words. I have no idea what she said, but she smiled when she said it, so I suspect she ignored the bruise and the swelling...
And blamed it on the door frame, moving into my path...

Yah. I have had stairs move out from under my feet, ever since I got glasses (bifocals).

The bifocals will trip you up every time!

So I suspect my daughter was being generous. :o]

Oh they do! I’ve taken a few spills because of them. No more running down stairs for me...

I KNOW that feeling! LOL!

When I got my first pair, I tried to excuse them...
“WOW! I never knew these stairs were so close together!”
“When did the sidewalk get so close to my feet?”

"My daughter just came by with some vodka and some good words."

I thought you already knew all the really good words.

Right. But you could have PAID me for said “plot elements.”

Congratulations! You made it!

I made it to, though I wish the choice for where you hole up had been in the gun shop with Alice. {Big Grin}

It’s so bad, I look like someone cold-cocked me. There is a bruise on my jaw...

Hey, me too! I fell down the stairs getting off the train and bounced my chin off the floor. The bruise looked like either I got slugged or dipped my chin in ink.

Sounds like I fared better than you did... I hope you feel better soon.

{Is it an Undead thing, or are we just getting clumsy?}

Should I divulge the secrets that have been whispered to me, in moments of passion, the government would fall....

I suspect, my sister in PS, that it is the latter...

(And you can blame it all on me!)

Okay! ;-)

Other than walking into things, how have you been?

You’re not going to be splattering many brain melons with those low brass shells! Get the 3” magnums!

I am SO FINE, I could double as a lap dancer! (NOT!)
I’m hanging in there!

How are you, your hubby and all the cute little kitties? I haven’t seen photos of them for a LONG time!

(I wish I had not walked into whatever gave me the mouse on my chin...)

Hubby’s doing better. He finally landed a full time job flying, at a closer airport. It’s not the aircraft he wants, but you can’t have everything.

The furry little beasts are well. The kittens taught my geriatric cat a new trick... wait until 2am, find a feather toy or fuzzy puff ball, hunt it, kill it, drag it to the entry hall, and yowl loudly until a human comes down to give praise.

If human fails to wake up, carry the toy upstairs and deposit it in bed with the humans, while yowling loudly. Be sure to drool on it first.
