First giant squids, now zombies:
There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in a small town near the border of Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.
The culprit was discovered to be mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rate and kills victims in fewer than 2 days.
After death, this parasite is able to restart the heart of its victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believed to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”
(Thanks, Melissa!)
Updated: By the way, April Fool’s! I got you early this year. (Actually, I’m completely gullible and believe anything that looks vaguely like a news story that is emailed to me. But I still love this story.)
General Ary Serey had this to say, “We have obtained samples of this new parasite and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all.”
Obviously this man has never seen a horror movie in his life.
It comforts me that you bought this too.
There are tons of strange things in this world, and I always lean toward the Mulder end of the spectrum. I want to believe!
I heard the bells of scepticism, but I just couldn’t resist the horror movie comment.
Yeah, my alarm bells went off at the Condi Rice quote, but then little weird news stories are often nonfactual and overblown.
