Rule #1: Cardio
A little news to brighten your day.

I think our natural reaction here would be, "only in Newfoundland" but for once, that's actually not true at all! Kentucky and Manitoba have both featured roadside zombie warnings this summer, prompted by similar instances in 2009 all over the States.
I'm not sure what it is about zombies that has prompted such hilarity in the past 2 or 3 years (anyone who has seen Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland knows what I mean!) Why is it that we see vampires as these horribly serious creatures, worthy of hours of televised dramatic exploration of modernist theory, when with zombies we are promised endless hilarious entertainment?
