After a recent bout of illness nearly had your ZRC President joining the ranks of the Undead a bit earlier than planned, I recovered, and the ZRC Madison staff saw ‘World War Z’ on Thursday.

ZRC Correspondent and Pro-Zombie artist George Pfau brought us a hot tip about this bizarre (but given World War Z’s imminent release, likely to become less unusual) simulation of the Anti-Zombie end times being conducted in Nebraska, err, right now: Among the sturdy berms of Nebraska soil piled high at Heartland Public Shooting Park, those [...]

Art-and-codemonkey here: I’m tired of getting emails letting me know that spam comments are being held in the moderation queue, so I’ve hacked up the template PHP enough to stick in a CAPTCHA plugin. If anyone has any difficulties they should let us know by… well, perhaps not commenting, but the Twitter and the Facebook [...]
