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.”

While they made these things called typewriters I fixed them. One day I got a call for extras spaces. It would not give me extra spaces the adjustments were correct. But she still got extra spaces. So I watched her type. She was wearing glasses while type from notes on a stand and would lean forward to see it sometimes. She was very well endowed and well..., thus the source of extra spaces. I was just out of school and she was maybe 15 years older than me. This was a new job and needed to fix this with out her being upset. In one of the few brilliant moves of my life I told it would take a few minutes and suggest she get a cup coffee. While she was gone I raised her chair about an inch. I didn't get called to fix it again. Not to long I moved out of state, from Texas to California.

In case you have ever wondered just what it may have been that inspired me to become a poet, be prepared for a spiritual feast.

Yah. I’m sure Archy is still alive in one incarnation or another, all over the world.

I suspect, when we finally find “life” on another planet, it will be accompanied by cockroaches.

LOL. I think drinking your coffee is how Zombie’s come back to life.

Hiya sweetie.

So, what was breakfast?

[Tax-chick]

Leftover spinach spaghetti with tomato and pepper sauce and a few bites of sausage. Had the same for lunch. My husband refuses to eat his own leftovers.

Espresso!! Lots of espresso!

[Grizzled Bear]

Uh oh!

[Monkey Face]

I wonder if that will be any funnier after a few more drinks?

LOL!

[callisto]

Well, sticking to the liquid “theme” I’m having Heineken for lunch! that’s a definite uh-oh!

[Grizzled Bear]

“Show us your Heine!”

[callisto]

yes...it gets that way. One night after a terrible typewriter experience (don’t visit your parents, they tend to have one around) I drank a few too many and must’ve watched it about 8 times before I realized it. LOL!

[Monkey Face]

I’m having some vodka-and-something.
It’s for medicinal purposes.
