Zombie attacks might increase due to global warming, study shows

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.”

The only thing that could make this thread more awesome is ninja priates.

Would a zombie pirate do?

It’s very windy, but the rain has definitely stopped. We have to go to Wal-mart.

Are those precursors to ninja prions?

They're extracted from ninja pyrites.

Sure, if he gets ninja training.

They look for satirical humor. They're ironic pyrites.

Wind chill makes it too cold to run. I guess I’ll have to cook instead.

We forgot to get ice again.
