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.”

Understandable, in your situation. If I did that, though, I’d be hugh by spring, because I’d eat all the Girl Scout cookies!

1.3.1 also fixed the Punkbuster too...

I just wish they had as much flexibility as the UT engine does as far as player skins/models is concerned.

LOL... Last pic I saw of you, you could use a couple extra pounds. ;-)

The last thing I need is the extra calories. I was down for a while there, but being back to a job where I sit in a cube for 80% of the day isn't doing my waistline any good.

Cut back on what I eat? Unpossible... ;-)

It can be force fed.
The game Prey is based off the D3 engine, and they force fed that puppy some interesting things.
(Sadly, I don’t have it.)

Yep. I had to “borrow” it from another website. They probably block due to bandwidth...

Any woman can have larger bo*bs if she just puts on enough weight :-).

Friend of mine fluctuated between an almost D and a B with minor changes in weight.
She hated it.

I’ve never been much of a “breast man”. I like legs. It’s one of the first things I noticed about my wife. ;-)

Thanks! I'm just glad she was looking more for brains and brawn in a husband rather than just good looks. ;-)

Our kids are turning out pretty well too. Ana is having some jealousy issues now that Pete is more mobile. Pete had an "a-ha!" moment a couple weeks back and went from being able to roll up and sit, to full on crawling, in the space of one day.

Now he's crawling, climbing, pulling up on stuff, has three teeth in, and is going full tilt. Now if we can just get him to sleep in his own bed over night, we'll be able to get a good nights sleep.

Soon he will discover fire, and splosions.
And under our tutelage he will grow evil and strong.
And when the day comes when he surpasses I, he shall strike me down and take my place.
*Evil laughter, sound of opening soda*

Ahem.

I'm not going to have to cut off his hand am I? I know they are working on a way to regrow them, but that'd be kinda icky.

I was thinking of allowing him to grow and moving to an old farmhouse in Dunwich. I hear there is some good fishing along the Miskatonic river...
