How the Time Flies...

My goodness, it appears to be March already, so naturally it's time to post some of those Halloween photos.

My excuse for waiting this long is as follows:
Before Halloween my beloved brick of a camera finally ate it. Now I have a brand new gorgeous powershot. However, somewhere in the middle Halloween happened so I had nothing but my camera phone to document the awesomeness.

But now thanks to my good friend Jerry I have some quality photo documentation of this year's Zombie makeup. This year was extra special because not only was I a zombie for Halloween, so were my two best gals.

Please enjoy the following photos to your fullest possible satisfaction.

Kate as a Zombie in a prom dress.

Me as a Zombie in a tux.

 One last shot for realism. 

World's Oldest Zombie Book

National Geographic's got this story about a 330 year old  manuscript tittled "The Chewing Dead".  Check it out this Tuesday on the National Geographic Channel during a program about Vampire Forensics.  Although the program is about vampires; an imaginary threat, the story is clearly a very old example of the very real threat of the walking dead.

Facebook Avertising: doing something right

I would just like to let the world know that the following came up in the advertising on my facebook today. They sure got me pegged.

I should be so lucky one day

Y'all should be very concerned about zombies getting married. It is an erosion of the scantity of marriage. Marriage is between two consulting adults, who are not reanimated courpses. However, technically this video depicts actors, playing zombies, getting engaged. So it's not so bad. In fact, it's downright adorable. Not, however, as adorable as the same couple's zombie wedding cake. Courtsey of Neatorama.

Picnik

I've plugged Picnick before but I just wanted to let you all know that it's even more awesome now then it was before and is offering even more zombie photo editing tools. Including no less than 6 distinct zombie flesh tones!
I tried to use Picnick in the off season (not October), and the zombifying option was under premium (pay) features. I'm now happy to report that this feature is currently available to everyone without making an account or paying. Here's what I was able to do in just a few minutes.

  I take a lot of enjoyment surprising my friends with zombified photos of them. If your persuasion leans more towards vampires, there's new tools for that too. enjoy! (Link)

Dear Vegetarian Spiders, we can be friends.

As I flip through my television stations this evening I found CNN running a story titled "Should we eat meat". The debate revolves around the risk of death or disfigurment from consumption of contaminated red meat. I have a lot of personal beliefs about this topic, as a vegetarian of 13 years myself.  My reasons for not participating in the consumption of meat have more to do with my own sense of morality, and less with the health benefits.

However, what I really want to talk about is vegetarian spiders.

BBC has this story running about one species of arachnid that are herbivores. Vegetarian spiders are interesting because they are unexpected. I've always had issues with spiders, but I think the number one reason they skive me out is their particularly violent method of obtaining nourishment. So I'm offering a open invitation to all the Bagheera Kipling of the world. You and me can be friends.

A brief search of the internet resulted in the discovery of this vegetarian lion. Cool, right?
