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.”

fwiw, i was just asked that question, by my neighbor.

i told Charlie that i would make a tray of green enchiladas (as i said i would when the COWBOYS were in the fight) & then i'm going to the local Thai place for dinner, with a friend who is just as DISinterested in the game as i am.

I have to order bags from Hoover.com, because the kind my vac needs is never in the stores.

[Tax-chick]

We plan to ignore it, too.

I plan on paying attention to the commercials. And I HAVE to cheer the Patriots...my “friend” is from Boston.

Oh, yes!

We should all watch at half-time so we can be kept abreast of happenings.

I like football. My problem is that when they took MNF off ABC and put it on ESPN, it was at a time when I couldn’t afford cable. So I missed several years of MNF. Now, I just keep up on who wins, and try to watch the Superbowl.

*smooch*

They need to go back to the old way and stop the nonsense.

[Monkey Face]

What?
I’ve watched all but two Super Bowls since the first one. With few exceptions, halftime is an improvement. I’m guess that’s what you’re talking about. If not, please carify.

[darkangel82]

They need to put MNF back on ABC, and the Sunday night games back on ESPN(NBC’s coverage is awful.) The only Super Bowl I refused to watch was in 2001.

[Monkey Face]

But they won’t do that because ESPN gets higher revenues for having MNF. Its parent station is ABC, so ABC still makes money.

I seldom ever watch any of the alphabet stations. I don’t like thier programming, and I loathe being talked down to.

I watch ABC for the “news” and one other program. The rest of the time, I’m watching documentaries of various kinds.

[stand watie]

i believe you are correct. even the games that AMERICA'S TEAM won, weren't "much punkins" as games go. (i've seen LOTS of high school FB games that were more exciting.
