Don't Be Surpised When We're Overrun By Zombies


So, did everyone hear about the meteorite that fell in Peru, causing nearby villagers to get sick? Here's a recap:

A fireball fell from the sky and slammed into southern Peru over the weekend, creating a huge crater that emitted a sickeningly smelly gas, local authorities said. More than 600 villagers fell ill, the Peruvian radio network RPP reported Tuesday.

Video reports from the scene, near the remote Andean village of Carancas along Peru's border with Bolivia, showed what appeared to be a 100-foot-wide (30-meter-wide), 20-foot-deep (6-meter-deep) impact crater with a bubbling pool of water at the bottom.

Authorities said that the crater was made Saturday by a falling meteorite. Agence France Presse quoted a local official, Marco Limache, as saying that "boiling water started coming out of the crater, and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby."

Limache told RPP that the gases emanating from the crater caused nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches and stomach pain — so much so that authorities were considering calling a state of emergency. The newspaper La Republica reported that seven policemen became ill and were taken to a hospital.


Seriously, isn't this how every Zombie movies starts? Time to stock up on shotgun shells and bottled water folks!

3 to 1, we beat the Scum!!


Wenger's kids may well have been overawed by the presence of Thierry Henry in his final two years at the club as they are now playing with a freedom that was absent when all the focus was on the legendary No.14. This team are title contenders who will get better as the season moves on.


No one says it better than the Insider!

The True Game Plan

I read this yesterday and have to say I agree:

The Administration's game plan in Iraq is clear. We'll stay in Iraq until the last possible minute and then spend the next 30 years claiming that we only lost because the liberals and the media failed to support the war. You might be surprised by how many people other than Bush have made this exact claim about Vietnam. I'll go ahead and start the rumor that dirty hippies spit on the returning Iraq veterans right now.

Prediction

Today is September 11th, and I predict that during the President's speech today, he will once again say that the war we're in in Iraq is because of the attack on us on 9/11/01. Count how many times he mentions Afghanistan to how many times he mentions Iraq.

Any computer geniuses out there?

I just bought the latest expansion pack for my favorite game, Medieval: Total War II and I get these error messages when I try to install Medi II Kingdoms:

"This update cannot be continued," This 1.03.000 update cannot be applied
to the 1.00.000 version of the game," and "Failed to apply updates to Medieval
II: Total War. Aborting installation."


Anyone reading this know how to fix it?

Update


Nerd that I am, I figured it out myself. I 1st had to delete my old version of Medieval II, then reload it (also had to delete the folder and files that were left after the deletion). Then I downloaded patches 1.1 and 1.2 (1.2 took over 3 hours to download, and I have a cable modem!). Once those things are done, the game loaded perfectly.
