You read the title correctly. The CDC said today:
“Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency.”

Now, combine this with the “fact” that the world is supposed to come to an end this weekend!
I’ve been saying it for years. You read it here first, folks. The world is coming to an end, by way of ZOMBIES.

A while back I blogged about zombie ants, and they’re back in the news today. Check out some of these zombie ant FACTS.
New gruesome details have emerged explaining how a parasitic fungus manipulates an unfortunate ant, filling its head with fungal cells and changing its muscles so the ant can grab a leaf in a death grip just when and where the fungus wants it.
The bizarre sequence that leads up to the ant’s death is completely out of step with its normal behavior and appears to be a way for the fungus to get itself to the perfect spot to spread its spores, according to the researchers.
Take a look at some of these photos, specifically #3 whose description is “In a scene worthy of a horror movie, one zombie ant bites the neck of another, already dead, zombie ant.”
