Brains...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Freakin’ zombies.

It can also cause the end of the world when the zombie population grows larger than the living population. Of course, this is old news to anyone who saw even one zombie movie.

That's why I like injecting Meth directly into my vena cava. Any zombie that bites me is in for a big surprise, and won't be doing any 'eating', brains or otherwise.

They will be like dogs who are fast enough to 'catch' a car, but don't know what to do with it.

That has to be the most original post-Zombie Apocalypse survival strategy I've come across.

Kudos.

reprising:

The Scars of Evolution:
What Our Bodies Tell Us
About Human Origins
by Elaine Morgan

"The most remarkable aspect of Todaro's discovery emerged when he examined Homo Sapiens for the 'baboon marker'. It was not there... Todaro drew one firm conclusion. 'The ancestors of man did not develop in a geographical area where they would have been in contact with the baboon. I would argue that the data we are presenting imply a non-African origin of man millions of years ago.'"

Thanks, Comedian.

Thank you, master.

Isn’t this the second story about diseases caused by the zombie DNA within a week? They must be working furiously to identify all the latent diseases if they’re publishing another one so soon.

Everybody knows the best strategy to deal with zombies is to run out into a deserted field, miles from help, and fall down.

[SunkenCiv]

The first batch of stories died — and then were reanimated as zombies. Same deal. ;’)

[rdl6989]

So how long before there is a “zombie zot” pill?

[SunkenCiv]

:’) It’s already made, and marketed under the name “Admin Mod”. ;’)

[Grimmy]

But, are these fast zombies or slow zombies? The strategies and tactics differ in dealing with either / or, you know.

Great idea for a halloween costume.

Thanks, as always, for the ping. Interesting articles.
