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

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.
