“It was a sight out of Day of the Night of the Living Dead. There were zombies everywhere”–Area resident. Last week’s nationwide Zombie attack turned out to be caused by an AOL outage. Apparently, the “zombies” were still-living AOL subscribers who hadn’t seen sunlight since 1994. Most of the AOL subscribers have been rounded up and returned to their parent’s basements, but officials warn that there may be hundreds of thousands of subscribers still wandering the countryside. “They’re mostly harmless, but don’t make any movements that could be misconstrued as affection.”
