A Florida Road Sign
I am not sure if I approve of this trend but still it is still really funny. In January of this year hackers broke into a Texas roadsign, changed it to say “The end is near! Caution! Zombies ahead! Run for cold climate!” Some people were inspired by this and it has appeared in a few places. It has just recently appeared in Florida. This time the signs were programmed to say “Zombie Attack! Evacuate.” While these signs are funny, I don’t believe in crying wolf. Lets say there actually is a zombie attack? What then? People are just going to ignore the signs assuming it’s a joke. So I implore you hackers out there, Please don’t hack our roadsigns!
Yes, they are cute but also deadly. True they’re not as deadly as a full grown zombie but they are still aggressive and will attack if you get too close. Often the mother is the real danger here, even if she is not yet a zombie. She will often try to keep and protect the baby even though it is obviously undead. If this happens you have to decide whether you want to interfere or simply let the mother go about taking care of her zombie baby. I advise to just mind your own business. Usually the mother has gone completely crazy and will try to kill you if you interfere. After all, if you are in the middle of a zombie epidemic you want to try to keep company with sane people that want to live. Having a crazy person with you will always get you killed. If the mother is maybe your wife or a family member you may want to try to help but be extremely careful. Do not underestimate a mothers wrath! Pay attention and if she is not willing to accept your help then you may just have to leave and hope everything turns out okay for her. (ya right) If you are able to get it away from the mother be careful not to let it bite you. It may have teeth! Dispose of it just like you would a regular zombie. Sorry Zombie baby you only get a half of a brain for your danger rating.

Zombie Meredith wanted to buy some brain flavored zombie mints for a Christmas present (How thoughtful!) but was wondering what brain flavored zombie mints actually tasted like. Just so happens our friend Bacon Chris had just purchased some and let us try them. Zombie Meredith and Bacon Chris popped the bfzm’s in their mouths and they were out just as fast as they were in. Then spitting and gagging noises ensued. They thought they were disgusting. Bacon Chris went so far as to offer his coveted bacon chocolate to get rid of the foul taste. This made me think twice about trying them but I thought this might be the only chance I get to experience “brain flavor”. So I reluctantly placed mine in my mouth, ready for the terror. But to my astonishment, they weren’t half bad. Kinda creamy, kinda sweet with a dash of rotten flesh. They were amazed that I didn’t spit mine out. I was amazed that they actually tasted like brains! How did they do that? Zombie Meredith said maybe I’m a real zombie. I don’t know, I sometimes feel half dead at work. Maybe… I recommend getting these as a party gag (literally) or to test which one of your friends is a real zombie.

Pirate Zombie
Pirate zombies were pirates who were once lost at sea. They have spent a lot of time rotting underwater and are therefore very soggy and grey looking. Usually they have been brought to life because somebody has disturbed their treasure and they will stop at nothing to get it back. If you encounter a pirate zombie the best thing to do is run as they are very difficult to stop unless you give their treasure back. Do not challenge one to a sword fight because you will not win. Do not try to use fire on them because they are still too soggy to burn. Usually people get into trouble because they are too greedy to give up the treasure. They think they might be able to just kill the zombie and keep the treasure. This is not the best tactic and has brought upon many deaths. My advice is to simply try to find their treasure as soon as possible and return it to the zombie. The zombie will then be able to go back to into the ocean to rest leaving you in peace.
Danger Rating: 3.5
I can hardly believe it but they are going to make a movie from the book, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I can’t wait for this to come out. I think it will be scary, romantic and funny at the same time. To make it even better, Natalie Portman will be starring in this movie. I think Natalie Portman will make a wonderful Elizabeth Bennet. Elizabeth’s character is very smart, and stubborn and I think Natalie Portman will be able to pull it off quite well. I will keep you posted if I hear any new details! Havent ready the book yet? Don’t worry this movie isn’t set to be released until 2011. Doesn’t it make you wish there was a way to cryogenically freeze yourself until 2011 so you don’t have to wait?

While looking for different zombie related christmas presents I found a website featuring beautiful women dressed as zombies. Upon further exploration I found the cutest item ever, A zombie pinup calender! All of the models are beautiful and photographed in different clever settings. The month of April features a pinup beauty in the classic posed on a cars hood scene only you can see her dead boyfriend hanging out one of the windows. I think this is a great present idea so I thought I would share it with you. Don’t be alarmed if you find these zombies hot. It’s perfectly natural and could happen to anybody. This calender just shows just because you are undead doesn’t mean you have to be ugly. Rotting flesh is so in!

Do you love Jane Austin and also love zombies? Have you often wondered of a way to get both of these things you love to blend beautifully together? Is it possible?
Well, wonder no longer. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a beautiful book and will satisfy both of those needs. Seth Grahame-Smith is the author and has managed to intertwine the old love story with the undead. The book is also full of illustrations in color which is a definate plus. Pick it up at a book store near you.
Unlike a human zombies are not wounded easily as they do not need many of the key processes of the body that a normal human would have. Zombies are basically eating machines they have little to no brain power other than to attack the living by stumbling about with little or no coordination. Zombies in general are unable to use weapons with the exception of the occasional blunt object they primarily attack by biting tearing and scratching. The only effective way to kill a zombie is to destroy the brain or remove the head. Remember to keep this in mind the next time you have a zombie encounter. There are, however, some exceptions to this rule. Please see our species section for more weaknesses specific to each zombie species.
Resident Evil is probably one of the most well-known zombie video games. The game starts out in a creepy mansion that is full of puzzles and secrets and oh ya zombies. Part of the game is figuring out what the heck is going on. Upon exploring the mansion you can find useful objects to help you on your way. You get several types of weapons, mainly guns, to fight the zombies. You may also find herb packs which definately come in handy. The only problem is while exploring you never know what is going to jump out at you and try to kill you. You tend to get a tense feeling as you search around every new corner or open a new closet. This is the first game that actually scared me to the point where I could only play it during the day. This game has spawned several sequels and three theatrical movies.
I sent you the info.
