Every once in a while, I like to click the ‘Suggested Topics’ at the bottom of a page and find something I hadn’t looked at before. This time, it took me to a slightly older thread about fighting a zombie apocalypse, and this post made my morning, so here it is!

> So by my thaumatological analysis (and becoming a subject authority by watching lots of movies and a few animations with skeletons in them), once the undead cast off the flesh that holds their true intellect back, they metamorphosise from slow, dull zombies to terrifying, flesh-rending, tool-using reavers

@Acierocolotl, I’ll be quoting this all week, especially to my WoW/D&D friends. Thank you! [[except for the fact I’m now terrified of my own skeleton and I’m wondering if the audible pops, crunches, and occasional snaps are in fact trying to communicate with my wife’s skeleton in a nefarious plot!]]
