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.”
LOL!
I drink coffee so seldom, I buy coffee singles. And keep them in the fridge.
When I make coffee, bad things happen.
Bizarre things.
Like people finding that warp 9 is easily achievable on foot.
And that if you leave the coffee outside after it gets cold, wildlife will drink it and be adversely affected.
That could explain Sasquatch and the Yeti...
Psychotic deer.
Rampaging squirrels.
And attack owls.
Would that include the Suicide Squirrels?
Possibly the inspiration for the squirrel speedup sequence in “Over The Hedge”.
Worth seeing the movie for that.
I couldn’t get intoit that far...maybe I missed something...I still want to get the Wererabbit...
Like the one that ran pell-mell into my car yesterday, yes.
And the slushie scene in “The Chipmunks” movie.
Nick Park is a pure delight. I like his films for the somewhat more cerebral and understated British humor.
“Over The Hedge” is more an adventure and action film, (standard animation, of course). Its appeal is more visual, as in the space vista showing the planet Earth slowing its rotation to a stop when Sammy begins his cola and sugar rush.
I like to watch the ones who can’t resist the bicycle spokes.
Classic. Some have even cheered their fellow squirrels. (Hence, the term “squirrelly.”)
Ah. Perhaps I’ll borrow it and try to watch it again.
Squirrel suicide by bicycle.
Haven’t had that happen to me yet.
They seem to sense my presence.
“Like people finding that warp 9 is easily achievable on foot.”
Darks, you’ve seen me on Monday morning? A pot of espresso and I’m good to go ‘til the caffeine and sugar wear off....then it’s nap time without more.

In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that’s me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don’t forget the salt, it’s important to the finished brew.
Even the blind ones?
The blind ones are the most fun to watch, what with their little white canes and dark glasses.
By the time they realize something is coming at them, it’s too late, and the Road Kill Cafe has fresh meat for the lunch crowd.
Seemingly so.
Though if I am on foot, they can’t tell I am there.
Just be careful with the stuff.
Eaker says my coffee needs cutting fluid.
