    Putting the news items together

    In recent weeks we have had three apparently unrelated news items, two of them mentioned on CUK:

    BBC News - Leicester City Council 'not ready' for zombie attack
    BBC News - Ladybird made into 'zombie' bodyguard by parasitic wasp
    Krokodil: The drug that eats junkies - Europe, World - The Independent

    Parasites evolve to spread their own species. What better adaptation could there be than one that caused a disease that gave people a major high? One that people would deliberately try and catch? What if, like Krokodil, it had the unfortunate effects of rotting the tissues?

    Lots of rotting people wandering around totally out of their minds? Maybe Leicester should review its plans for a zombie attack.

    You worry me.

      I agree Xoggoth, just a marathon session of multiplayer Left For Dead 2 followed by a shopping trip to the Croydon Peacocks centre had me grappling for my imaginary Avtomat Kalashnikova 47.
      If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

        That's living dangerously. Personally I wouldn't entertain a trip to Croydon with just an AK for protection.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          True, maybe a Panzerfaust 3 whilst shouting "Achtung Panzer!" would be the preferable option. Watch those chicken macnuggets fly in the food hall...

            Krokodil - how gross poor bastards
            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
