And you thought zombies weren’t real.

Time, y’all.  It’s just a matter of time. Scientists are involved.  If you’re using your handy-dandy once-was-fiction-but-not-anymore guides for zombie destruction (hint: double tap and aim for the brain), that’s never good. The zombie apocalypse is nigh. Zombie-proof your homes, build your compounds and prepare to hunker down.  With lots of ammo.
