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.”

What more can I say? Forewarned is forearmed, rottie! Don’t mess with a force as evil as overstuffed “things.”

It’s only the beginning.

I know! I lost Hobbes to one at my daughter’s....all that was left was the tail...

Maybe I should have a FRink and see if that improves my skills...of course, only "I" will that is an improvement...

I was hoping he’d try for “curmudgeon.” It sounds so much more...um... "business-like.”

I've got that covered already.

Down The Road

I’m setting up some real estate,
For a special breed of folks,
The kind who think the rest are all,
Somewhat pathetic jokes.

The sort of person who,
Just wants to be left alone.
And who can get on fine if he,
Is stuck out on his own.

I’m talking about curmudgeons,
A classless sort of class.
The ones who, when you try to help,
Tell you to ... take a pass.

They aren’t the devilish kind of folks,
Nor angels, you can tell,
They don’t get on with people types,
But they don’t belong in Hell.

So I’m setting up a place nearby,
The climate’s not so good.
But the understanding is,
It’s for the misunderstood.

They’ll have their books, and poetry,
And other things they like,
And prominently stated in the yard,
The sentiment, “Take a Hike!”

They like to be alone, you see,
And they’re content with that,
So if you have a nominee,
Then you can pass the hat.

We’ll solve a problem in this way,
And another thing that’s swell,
Is if some lost souls ventured by,
They’d be told ... directions well.

I'm telling you. I have a problem lately with "teh" & "adn"...When I was 3rd grade I drove my teacher crazy to teh point of being yelled at because every other day I would ask her how to spell "and" yet I could spell "antidisestablishmentarianism" at a moments notice. :>)

What’s that old military lay?...

I will not go on liberty.
But if I do, I will not go into a bar.
But if I do, I will not drink.
But if I do, I will not get drunk.
But if I do, I will not stagger.
But if I do, I will not fall.
But if I do, I will fall...

*sigh* I can never recall the rest of it, just that the insignia not be shamed... :o|

Worse is when you hear eline snoring from the depths of the couch.
Poor feline fool actually thinks they are safe in there.

[Monkey Face]

You’re so good...

[Darksheare]

Been getting some link practice in lately myself.
Whacked one post clean into the trash because of it.
(Had to delete and restart.)

[Monkey Face]

And you could propably spell a lot of other words, and repeat long passages of Poe’s Poetry, as well, but none of your classmates understood a word you said because you had no clue what single syllable words were. Yah. I went to the same school in my home town!

[Darksheare]

My spelling was as good as my typing.
My teachers would look at me oddly.
I was the top student in science class.
But my spelling was bordering on dyslexic.
Probably explains my typos...

[Monkey Face]

They either snore or purr...either way, we know their lives are lessened by one, each time...

[Tax-chick]

LOL! Bishopess Katharine makes the Archbishop of Canterbury look like Pope Benedict.

Sis’ cat grunts, snores, and mutters when he sleeps.
Strangely, he seems to mutter something right before I sneeze.
