Doom-o-meter: 16 October 2007.

Threat Level: Human Flesh Tastes Like Spam

As I procrastinate further on the previously mention post about hauntings, I bring you a further installment of the Doom-o-meter.

Well, things are getting pretty weird out there. Although I fear it may become a tradition, I will lead with a weather-related story: Chicago had to shut down its famous marathon…because of the heat. In October. To quote: “At least 49 runners were taken to hospitals because of heat-related ailments; hundreds more were treated on site.”

Also, dogs and cats aren’t just living together. They are supposedly giving birth to one another, according to several reports in China.

El chupacabras has been hanging out near San Antonio [link broken], which is cool enough, except that the supposed body looks more like a mongrel chihuahua than a terrifying, blood-sucking fiend. (Most reports claim these goat-suckers are blue, which is a fun detail.)

Finally, here is a sad story from the world of toys: Even sock monkeys are not immune to the scourge of the zombie plague.

Until next time (if there is a next time), please be cautious around zombified toys, and stay hydrated. Or something.
