Zombie t-shirt so tacky it will scare away real zombies

$5 zombie t-shirtYou know what I like about this shirt? It’s only $5! It’s also so ugly that I’d be a little excited to wear it in public, because it would annoy people. And then after stepping outside I’d realize the error of my ways and wish I’d thought about this “annoying people” plan a little more, because it’s not a very good idea, and now I have to walk around with a green ghoul holding a purple brain. Oh well. It would probably look good under a black light. And at five bucks a shirt you could buy one for everybody in your family, even Grandma.

Make your own zombie Barbie

Barbie of the Undead

Bratz may have the child-hooker market cornered, but when it comes to disturbingly beautiful corpses, you pretty much have to look to Barbie. It’s what I used back in high school to make my own Laura Palmer gift for a friend (“She’s dead, wrapped in plastic!”),  and it’s what Paranaiv is using for his own custom zombie doll look. His secret weapon: an exposed skull showing through the broken face. Nice!

Check out his site for step-by-step photos on how to make your own.

Zombie Harmony finds that special zombie just for you

This is one of those why-didn’t-I-think-of-that sites of pure awesome: a zombie dating service. Technically, you’re not supposed to join unless you’re a zombie, but that doesn’t have to stop you from browsing the zombie singles: lady zombie “luvs2cuddle” enjoys “long, slow, lumbering walks on the beach,” while the guy who calls himself “Need2Feed” relies a little too much on LOL in his profile.

The site is only a single page, which is a little lame–it would have been nice if the joke had gone a little deeper, but it’s clearly just a marketing stunt for the real dating site Mingle. Still, well done!

West Virginian Comes Back To Life After Rigor Mortis Set In

After 17 hours of no heartbeat and no brainwaves, this woman in West Virginia opened her eyes and started talking.

Thomas suffered two heart attacks and had no brain waves for more than 17 hours. At about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, her heart stopped and she had no pulse. A respiratory machine kept her breathing and rigor mortis had set in, doctors said.

“Her skin had already started to harden and her fingers curled. Death had set in,” said son Jim Thomas. They rushed her to a West Virginia hospital. Doctors put Thomas on a special machine which induces hypothermia. The treatment involves lowering the body temperature for up to 24 hours before warming a patient up.

After that procedure, her heart stopped again. “She had no neurological function,” said Dr. Kevin Eggleston. Her family said goodbye and doctors removed all the tubes. However, Thomas was kept on a ventilator a little while longer as an organ donor issue was discussed. Ten minutes later the woman woke up and started talking.

“She (nurse) said, ‘I’m so sorry Mrs. Thomas.’ And mom said, ‘That’s OK honey. That’s OK,” Jim Thomas said.

And then she said, “Oh my, I’m so hungry! Is the hospital cafeteria still open? I’d love a fresh bowl of brraaaaiiinnnnssssss…”
