Oh MY F GOD!!!

From the BBC news:

here has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in a small town near the border of Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.

The culprit was discovered to be mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rate and kills victims in fewer than 2 days.

After death, this parasite is able to restart the heart of its victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believed to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

Cambodian officials say that the outbreak has been contained and the public has no need to worry.

General Ary Serey had this to say, "We have obtained samples of this new parasite and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all."

US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opposed the plan saying that the Cambodian government holds a great biological weapon and should destroy it immediately. Cambodian officials have yet to comment.

A United Nations team will be dispatched to Cambodia to confirm the safety of biological research in Cambodia.

(this is probably the most fucked up thing I've seen in quite a while. And I've seen some fucked up stuff lately- remember- I'm umpacking all of my belongings...)

Huh, not much I can think to say to that except scaaaaaarrrryyyyy. For many, many reasons. Crazy.

I'm sorry you're waiting to hear about the job. That's rough. In the meantime, good luck with your boxes, and I hope we get to see you soon!
