Poem: Breakdown

By Jack Brummet



The undead walk
    Sloughing tendrils of putrefied flesh

And the living
    Are made of cardboard

The border between
    Being and nothingness

Is erased
    Fee Fie Foe Fum.

Twisted Halloween costumes, Part 1

By Jack Brummet, Holiday Ed.

We've posted a couple of these before, around Halloween.  Our criteria is mainly that the costume needs to be weird.  We did not include the many costumes that you would consider cute, or dressed up animals, and, believe or not, we left out most of the really sick costumes, or costumes where you might say "it's too soon!" These were collected from our readers, and from various outposts of the internet.

"Mr Fenton's" famous K Mart prank

By Jack Brummet, Pranks and Persiflage Ed.

Although this has since been debunked by Snopes.com, among other sites, this is still a great piece of writing, and a great list of mostly harmless pranks.

Ebola Zombies?

By Jack Brummet, Outbreak Ed.

Snopes recently debunked the rumor/urban legend that Ebola was causing people to rise from the dead.  Read the entire on Snopes.com



"On 5 October 2014, the Huzlers web site published an article positing that an "Ebola zombie" had been captured and photographed in Liberia. The story came hot on the heels of the CDC's announcement that a man who had traveled from Liberia to Dallas had fallen critically ill after contracting the Ebola virus. Concern over Ebola was at its peak in the United States when the site published an image of a purported "Ebola zombie," along with the following claim: 
"The first reports of Ebola victims rising from the dead was reported by Liberia's National Newspaper. Initially, officials from the World Health Organization fled in shock and horror as the Ebola patients suddenly arose from the dead. After organizing military reinforcements and obtaining increased containment measures, World Health Organization's special operations staff quickly responded with military assistance and quarantined the two Ebola victims who arose from the dead. 
"With Texas now infested with an unknown amount of Ebola patients, nearby Kansas has declared a state of emergency. Kansas Governor Sam Brownback has declared October "Zombie Awareness Month" and the state is on high alert for a zombie outbreak. Homes across the state are to receive pamphlets warning them of how to prevent the spread of Ebola and what to do if an Ebola Victim falls dead and then starts to show life again."
