The city of Muskegon, Michigan has a large floating ship-museum, the LST 393, a vessel from World War II originally used for amphibious landing and deployment of things like tanks (think Normandy). Some local high school kids wanted to convert it to a family friendly Halloween facility, a ‘zombie ship’, and spent a lot of [...]

What follows is one of the most awful and appalling things we’ve ever seen here at the ZRC. I have to warn our sensitive readers that the matters discussed behind the cut are extremely disturbing, nauseating and appalling. Reader discretion is advised.

A long post so I’ll put it behind a cut.

The ZRC had the great pleasure of attending the Dr. Cancer and the SKAmbies concert on Sunday at Geek.kon, and as promised, here is a review of the show from the perspective of Zombie rights.

Just a quick update to show off these spiffy Zombie-Friendly shoelaces from Hot Topic which the ZRC had the chance to pick up for about 4 dollars the other day. Spiffy, huh?

Parkour [...]

This is decidedly a mixed bag for me, but a web-company is selling Zombie.. Perfume: The scent of death lingers on the walking dead. Limbs rot, organs turn rancid, and decomposition sets in. For a zombie in a state of decay, they need Zombie Fragrance Oil. Liberally apply this scent, and combat that lingering odor [...]

Randomly caught this older story about some seemingly clever hackers breaking into those light up textual warning signs along the side of the road, changing them to ‘warn’ people about Zombies ahead. Must even hackers, themselves a poorly understood subculture, turn on the Differently Animated? Why not a hacked sign that reads “Zombies Ahead, Please [...]

So the ZRC has been looking to move its headquarters (and our living space) for some time, and today we think we found the right abode. It includes tons of room to expand our operations, in a sleepy tree-lined residential neighborhood. It got me to thinking, though. The forms just to apply for renting a [...]

So the latest comic from nerd-tastic XKCD contains a take on the traditional Zombie Pandemic scenario: As you can see, Randall Munroe has decided to show his true lifeist colors with this heartless display of anti-Zombie violence, but also note how closely he adheres to several outdated Zombie stereotypes. Zombies are created in a laboratory [...]
