Bathroom Paranoia: Anaconda

As per Lisa's request I am doing another bathroom paranoia post. 



Ever seen the movie Anaconda and begin to worry that there are snakes like this just creeping around waiting to get you? (Plus who doesn't love Ice Cube and J.Lo before all the glam) 
Are you ever in the shower and are washing yourself with one eye open? Are you doing this because of your fear of a snake coming out of the drain and getting you? Do you even take it as far as singing real loud, maybe Luther Vandross, so you can drown out the fear?




My Dad has serious issues with snakes and so far he has always won against a snake but I wonder if he has this fear. 


So do you have this Bathroom Paranoia?


Ophidiophobia: Fear of snakes - see ya learned something! 


*Thanks Victor for the bathroom paranoia suggestion!

Zombie Myths

I realized that I have a lot of fun filled knowledge in my head about zombies. I decided to share some myths, dispel some myths, and leave some myths open for discussion.




1. Zombie origins - I am not even going to delve into this one, there are so many stories about the dead rising that I could start writing today and never stop. If you can think it, then it can cause a zombie, and I am going to leave it at that.


2. Zombie IQ - it appears as though zombies are getting smarter, zombies have next to no brain activity. They truly move to eat, not necessarily to survive, so I think they are as intelligent as one with a single purpose in life can be.




3. Zombie's sense of smell - in the graphic novel The Walking Dead, they covered themselves in zombie guts so the zombies would not smell them. I do not believe zombies truly have a sense of smell, it is more on sight and sound. The olfactory part of the brain which I do not believe continues to work. 



4. Zombie food - In Survival of the Dead, they tried to teach zombies to eat regular animals not people. Zombies prefer people, I think we need to keep this in mind and not experiment, just kill. Stop looking for a cure. 

5. Zombie poo - Apparently this is a hot debate, do Zombies poo. Think about it, they eat but you never see them with a newspaper heading into the bathroom so where does it all go? Not sure, I guess we shall see. Thoughts on this one?



6. Zombie Micheal Phelps - The question of can zombies swim is often explored. In the movie Land of the Dead and the book World War Z, the zombies do not swim but they do walk in the water, walk along the bottom of whatever body of water, and then emerge on the other side. We all know dead bodies float, heck living bodies float, so zombies walking through the water is not feasible. 


7. Zombie animals - lately we all  have been seeing Zombie animals like the zombie dogs in Resident Evil (my favorite video game of all time) and the zombie Bengal tiger in 2012 Zombie Apocalypse. Depending on the reason why we have zombies, this could happen so.....man's best friend will become man's worst enemy. 


8. Zombie Hordes - they are real, they do exist, and they can overrun you. Zombies do not consciously decide to become a horde but rather they are like lemmings and just start following others and like lemmings you can kill them easy if you truly think of a good strategy. S/N you and a gun is not a good strategy. 


9. Zombie strength - you have seen zombies tear into a person's brain, and I am sure we all know that there is a skull they have to get through. So the question is once you are dead and no longer feel pain do you now become crazy PCP strong? This concept I am unsure of but I do not believe a zombie is able to use their teeth and bite through a skull. Thoughts?




10. Zombies - This is where I end it, I will update as more zombie myths come out and welcome my zombie followers to debate the myths.

Car Paranoia: Buttflickers

Are you ever driving down the road and the car in front of your throws their still lit cigarette out the window! 


This is a pet peeve of mine and I cannot help yelling out in frustration. 


But besides it being a pet peeve of mine it also leads to a car paranoia. 


Yes I have a Morbid Moment that the cigarette that was just flicked out the window will light some gasoline that is leaking and inevitablely lead to my car on fire. 

Have you ever had this Morbid Moment of Car Paranoia?





Sorry had to add these pics, they made me giggle!

When Animals Attack


Have you ever stared down the dangerous animal and just stood there and wait for the attack. I have looked into what I assumed would be the eyes and wait, I swear I saw it twitch, just preparing to leap or begin to stampede on my poor week human body. 



Yes, I am talking about topiary animals. 


They are not as cute as you think, they can and will attack. 


This poor man never stood a chance and neither will you. 


So be prepared, keep your eyes open, the attack from zombies may not come but the attack from the topiary will.

Zombie Scenarios


Hello Everyone, 

I have realized that I never properly explored the most likely scenarios of how a zombie apocalypse will come about and for that I am sorry. So buckle up and prepare yourself for some knowledge. 


1. Disease Cure/Vaccination: With so many vaccinations being made very quickly and sometimes over night ie H1N1 the potential for the unknown long term effects can lead to a zombie apocalypse.  This scenario would be like the movie "I am Legend". 
Potential: High



2. Biowarfare: We will more than likely have zombies arise due to our need to develop more advance weapons. With this in mind we have the potential for an Umbrella Corp. like in Resident Evil rising up and causing zombies to occur and then try to wipe out anyone that can reveal that they are behind it. 
Potential: High




3. Virus Outbreak: As in the movie 28 Days Later, a virus is released out into the public by mistake and takes over quite quickly. This movie explored the fast moving zombies that would make living very hard. The potential for one of these types of outbreaks is moderate and if you saw the movie Contagion then you know how quickly it could spread. 
Potential: Moderate


4. Virus Mutation: The potential for a mutation of an everyday disease that we take for granted is possible. As this was explored in the movie Quarantine. The disease, rabies, mutated and turned human beings into zombie like killers. As we are in contact with a lot animals in our lives who suffer from diseases that are specific to them leads us as humans waiting for the day that those diseases mutate and affect humans. 
Potential: Low



5. Unknown: More than likely we will just not know how zombies will come about. We might wake up one day and bam zombies are there. This is the most likely scenario. 
Potential: High


6. Our own stupidity: As I am sure many you have read about the University of Pittsburgh being able to bring back to life dogs that have been clinically dead for 3 hours. The potential for this to be used on humans to help save many individuals would be a medical miracle, however we might end up with zombies because of our own stupidity. 
Potential: Moderate High


So suffice it to say it is just a matter of time before zombies are here so be prepared. Check out my other posts as a way of preparing yourself for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse. 

Below is at least a way of identifying zombies.
