Weird News #2
So our signal at home sucks total balls...but I am at work right now and decided to sign in after how long? hahaa! TOO long. So hello to everyone! Here is the weird article I found...
WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2009
LEAD STORY: Based on models of rampant infectious diseases, say researchers, civilization would be doomed if we were ever attacked by zombies.
If society were ever attacked by zombies, we would probably be doomed, and quickly. That was the conclusion of two university researchers in Ottawa, Ontario, who set up mathematical models hypothesizing zombie attacks as infectious diseases with the well-known characteristics of zombie biology from popular fiction. In fact, according to a July BBC News report, zombies are more threatening than virulent diseases because they can regenerate (unless decapitated or incinerated, of course). More troubling was the researchers' presumption that zombies move slowly, as in older movies, but in recent fiction, they're super-quick, making them nearly invincible. [BBC News, 7-18-09]

Considering that there are no real zombies to do 'research' upon, this 'news' is absolutely 100% conjecture, and ALSO 100% fiction. But, we knew that. Currently, many more humans, and maybe even some sub-humans, are more concerned about the 'swine flu' than brain eating Hollywood creations. I personally LIKE the fact that they are, classically, SLOW moving, so I can at least get a whack at 'em, losing an eye or a limb!
But, just like the video game genre, where levels get hairier and trickier, and rediculouser (!?!) the 'classic' horror movie zombie HAD to get a TURBO re-vamping! That's, ok, it keeps things interesting! -
