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.”

I picked up the gif off the Time Travel thread. That it deserved a place on a UT thread. ;-)
In 3 weeks, some physicists will be heading back to the drawing board trying to figure out why their experiment didn't give them the predicted results. That always gives me a chuckle...

LOL! That “humor in the workplace” thing can be a two-edged sword.

It would be interesting if something ‘came through the angles’ like in H.P. Lovecraft and dragged a few of them off.

As long as isn't a "Doom 3" type thing where they open up an interdimensional gate to Hell.
I've got a shotgun, but I don't want to open a COMM closet to check on a router or switch and have an Imp jump out of the wiring at me.

That would be very bad.
At least there isn’t a chance of having your fellow denizens becoming zombies... right?

Actually, in Doom 3 that is exactly what happened. Loved that game, but don’t play it at night with the subwoofer turned up...

I know.
The cabinet opens, and the thing nails you.
I found that you can sit to the side and open the cabinet.
Imp leaps past you.
Boom to the back of the imp head MF..
Haven’t played D3 since the 1.3.1 patch came out.
Killed most of the mods I played.
