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.”

Speak for yourself.
It was a good game, no matter who went to Disneyland.

Yep. When Manning threw that last TD I couldn’t believe it, but it was a very fitting ending to a Patriots Super Bowl.

I would have preferred that the Pats won. However, as with most teams who lead going in, they underestimated the opponent.

They will know better next time.

They will for sure. Most here were for the Giants, because we have so many NYers here, and the Dolphins fans hate the Pats. I was not on either side, I just watched.

Football is football. If it’s good, the score doesn’t matter.

I know people who get physically ill when “their” teams lose. All I can say is, “Eh?”

I like the game for the GAME!

Good morning!

We watched “Hairspray” last night.

I woke up early because Shannon was snuggling me. Now she’s after the lizards!

I watched the last quarter of the game last night, and I drank a beer.

Ooh! I can feel the testosterone churning! Makes me want to go out and eat raw oatmeal.

What happens when you have an abundance of di-hydrogen monoxide in the atmosphere and a 273.15 K or less ambient temperature?

We're gonna find out up here...

In the eyes of the bookies, the Patriots did win. Even odds were Giants by 12.

Their saying we could see 12.7 cm of the stuff by commute time. Not good. Could be another 2-3 hour home commute for me.

Radar shows a big mass forming over Vancouver Island, headed our way. But it’s a few hours away, so even if it ends up as white global-warming stuff (which is not in the forecast) I still have time to get LoM to the airport.

Good for the bookies!

It was a good game. Tight and close.
