Okay, seriously, why is my flist full of zombies today?

And the other day at work I was brought into contact with both The Zombie Survival Guide and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Are these signs? Is the zombie apocalypse upon us? Because I am woefully unprepared. I don't have a backup plan. I don't even have a primary plan! Unless screaming counts as a plan.

How do you kill a zombie? Vampires have so many kinds of kryptonite that you wonder how any of them live for a decade, let alone for centuries. And even werewolves have silver bullets, or you can just find a good place to hide until the moon goes down. The only thing I know is that even though I'm a rubbish runner, I'm pretty sure I can outrun a zombie. But zombies usually come in groups. Very, very large groups.

If a zombie kills me, I want my blood to go to a vampire and my bloodless, brainless corpse to feed a werewolf. No reason most of me should go to waste.

Hrm.. I'm rather hungry. Anyone have a good vegetarian recipe for brains?

(... I went to tag this as 'zombies' only to find I already had a tag for zombies... creepy.)
