I think that, as the undead, zombies by definition have cold hearts.

I'm going to argue that they have room temperature hearts, so a Kalahari Bushman Zombie would be warmhearted.

Hmm. Fair point.

Are there a lot of Kalahari Bushman Zombies?

Nah. They tend to get hit pretty savagely by crocodiles every year during the Great Zombie Migration.

Researchers note, with much disappointment, that the crocs don't become zombie crocs, even when bitten back by the Bushmen. "Maybe we can develop a zombie vaccine from the crocodiles," says a scientist from Doctors Without Borders, "but a zombie croc would be SO COOL!!!"

It's true! Crocodiles are amazingly resilient to infection, and researchers do study them for that very reason. Of course, they're well armoured, so your average zombie would'nt even be able to break the skin. But even for those who manage to bite into some soft tissue, if any animal would resist the zombification it's a crocodile.

I let people talk to me in most situations

I envy you, people who can make others stop talking with them. I never know if a smile would shut them up away from my life faster, or encourage them to keep talking.

Smiling is dangerous.

Who doesn't have an uncle who wanders up and down the street playing a comical musical instrument.

What one needs to do is teach him the Ballad of Serenity or the Man They Call Jayne.

Well, my LDLs are 53. And HDLs are 49. Only thing that's in the bad range is tryglycerides, and considering that I pretty much never eat sugar and very rarely have white carbs, there's not much I can do about that besides medication.

49 is a great HDL. I wish I had a 49.

Many who have met me are seriously puzzled when I tell them my total cholesterol is 113, my HDL is 39 and my LDL is 61.

Then I tell them I eat butter and eggs regularly, and red meat....and fresh veggies and whole grains, so it must balace out somewhat.

Huh, Hubby's cardiologist wants his cholesterol in the 30s.

Woah. This is why the numbers we are throwing around are so very individual specific. That's a seriously clean system that he needs.

It's always interesting, arriving here after a night of activity on the other side of the pond. Zombie crocs. OK then.

I need to get more interested in my dissertation topic. At the moment it's like, hey, that would be cool to read, and literature begetting literature until I just end up doing a lot of reading. No production of any actual work. I am completely failing every time I attempt to write a single sentence.

Meh. Back to that paper I just found on Google Scholar.
