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.”
Very cool! I've collected PVC bagpipe plans for years (decades), but nothing that looks as good as these.

No snow here - just cold. Where’s my global warming?
The responses on that website are hillarious!
Will send you snow if you will send me sunshine.
We already have had a foot more of snow then we do in a normal (ha! what is that?) year.
We have had a total of six minutes of sunshine since February 1.
Here is what it looks like now

Ugh! I have about 30 and full sun right now - big improvement over yesterday, when we had thunderstorms.
Elen has a cookie booth this afternoon. We’ll have to bundle up. Maybe there will be enough other adults that I can go shopping instead of shivering!
An exciting day in Greek: Pat learned second-person singular verbs.

Speaking from experience, are we?
Zombies? Well, it is an election year...
As an outsider, looking in, yes.
Actually, one of our younger UTers got silly one night, tried to spam 100 posts, and as a result, the thread was locked. We had to beg and grovel to get it back. Don’t want to repeat that experience.
My, my...
I step out to get a few grocks, and look who shows up.
Welcome!
:o])
LOL!
Good to see you!
I have it on good authority that zombies emerge in mass numbers during election years.
