Happy Holidays!

So I was watching Elf, and noticed some things.........just highlighting a couple here.

The dvd menu is designed to look like a pop-up book. Will's arm moves up and down, placing the star on the tree...except it looks more like he's jerking the tree off.

Oh, hello again W.B Mason! I wonder how many more movies you're hidden in. 4X27...108? 

I'm working on the symbolism of green and gold. Slytherin and the Packers also share the colour scheme.

That's it for now.

Ke$ha's Teeth, Blood, and Ghost Sex

Is it coincidence that the same day I heard about Ke$ha's tooth tiara was the same day I read VC's post about her drinking blood onstage? Just when you think the girl couldn't get any more "wtf?"-inducing...she does.

The Infamous Tooth Tiara

She had fans send in their actual teeth, claiming she had "like, 1000" sent to her. Other than perhaps baby teeth, who has extra teeth laying around? Did these people pull a Hangover dentist move and pull them specifically to send her? Anyways, she's made a tiara, a bra, and jewellery with said teeth.

Oh, and in an interview with Ryan Seacrest, she claimed to have had sex with a ghost.

Reading Between the Lines: Star January 23 2012



Star Shots Moments of the Week:  Making a Splash “Even the busiest man in Hollywood needs a break! After ringing in 2012 on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Ryan Seacrest whisked lady love Julianne Hough off on a sun-filled getaway to St.Barts. When they weren’t lounging aboard their luxurious yacht, the pair enjoyed romantic walks on the beach, Jet Ski rides and lots of time splashing in the surf. Julianne - who will next be seen in the movie-musical adaptation of Rock of Ages – channeled her inner child as she dove into the crystal-clear waters. Ryan, meantime, has been hitting the headlines as many speculate over whether  the American Idol  host will renew his contract. Because of rumors that he may leave to take a gig on the Today  show , Ryan recently said he has “a deal with NBC Universal…in negotiations,” but kept mum about the details. Seacrest, out?  Stay tuned.”
[Julianne looks nothing like she used to. It appears she’s had some unnecessary work done, as I feel she was much prettier a couple years ago, imo]

“Friends of Owen Wilson say the funnyman’s recent boozy binge is no laughing matter. The Wedding Crashers star – who split from girlfriend and baby mama Jade Duell just six months ago – was spotted partying up a storm over the holidays in St.Barts. ‘Owen’s depressed over the breakup, and…he drank his way through the holidays,’ a pal tells Star. ‘That lifesyile is a slippery slope for him. It’s difficult for him to keep it at a few drinks.’ Many worry that he may spiral into a dangerous mental state – as he did in 2007 when he attempted suicide by overdosing on pills and slitting his wrists. ‘He’s partying to numb his emotional pain,’ the source explains. ‘Owen said he feels like a failure for not keeping the family unit with Jade and [1-year-old son] Robert.’
“Following her split from hubby Russell Brand, Katy Perry’s parents are praying for her. ‘God, we lift up our family and let you forgive them,’ they told Ohio churchgoers on Jan.5. ‘Let us pray for our families to go to Heaven to be saved.’”

J.Bieb's flashing the devil horns, in fishnet, and embraced by a V
Ryan Cabrera’s hard-partying ways have landed him in the hospital. ‘His drug and alcohol abuse got so bad that he had to have eight inches of his colon removed,’ a pal tells Star of the ‘On the Way Down’ singer’s Dec.28 surgery. And now friends fear for his life. ‘We’re worried he’ll overdose,’ says the pal. Ryan’s problems are nothing new. ‘It’s been going on for years,’ the friend reveals. Back in 2007, Ryan, now 29, was spotted ‘partying and looking like a total mess,’ an eyewitness says. ‘I even spotted him sniffing a white powdery substance off the sink in the men’s room.’”
“With so many women vying for Ben Flajnik’s attention on The Bachelor, the gals know they have to be quick-witted and fast on their feet. That shouldn’t be a problem for contestant Casey Shteamer, if her  July 2004 encounter with rocker Gavin DeGraw and his band is any indication. Kansas native Casey was nearly 19 when she and two gal pals were invited onto Gavin’s tourbus at 2am after a concert. ‘We all talked with him, and his bandmates were there,’ Casey wrote in her public diary on xanga.com. ‘Then [one of Casey’s friends] and Gavin went in the back together…I was left in this freezing cold bus at 3:30 in the morning, stuck talking to, like, 30-year-old men that were trying to hit on me.’ So Casey bolted, grabbing her pals keys, and headed out to their car to sleep. However: ‘some creepy guy followed me outside, and I started walking really fast,’ she wrote. ‘He was like “Why r u running away from me?” I just smiled and went faster.’ She woke up at 6am – just in time to see the bus pull away with her two friends still on it! Casey later picked them up after ‘they were dropped off in the middle of the highway.’ She added: ‘Now I get to go to work on an hour and a half of sleep. Fun.’"
“After two devastating failed marriages, Halle Berry vowed, ‘I am not going to do it again,’ during an early 2011 interview. But now, sources tell Star, the single mom can’t wait to trade ‘I do’s – and become a parent again – with French hunk Olivier Martinez, who secretly popped the question six months ago! ‘Halle is very serious about this marriage,’ says an insider. ‘She’s ready.’ Adds another source: ‘Olivier has become her rock.’  Still, Halle was warned against falling for Olivier, 46 – he’s infamous for loving and leaving the likes of Mira Sorvino and Kylie Minogue – when they filmed the thriller Dark Tide in the summer of 2010. ‘His friends are shocked that he is getting married,’ the insider says of Olivier, who has never even been engaged. ‘But he’s changed his ways.’ It’s particularly important to Halle that he’s devoted himself to Nahla, 3, her daughter with ex Gabriel Aubry. ‘Halle feels Olivier has made a connection and a commitment to her and her daughter,’ says the source. And the couple hope to give Nahla a sibling. ‘Halle would love to have more kids, but  she knows it might be difficult because of her age and the fact that she’s diabetic,’ says the insider. ‘If they can’t conceive, they’d definitely consider adoption.’ But first,  the wedding, which will likely be a large, joyous affair held in California’s wine country early this summer, according to insiders. ‘Deciding to marry again is huge for Halle,’ says the source. ‘But friends have never seen her this happy and fulfilled.” NOTICE THE EMERALD RING ON HER FINGER? That's supposedly their engagement ring. They claim it's her favorite gem.

An ad for a new show, Scorned, supposedly based off "true stories of love turned lethal"

“….Vanessa [Hudgens] was gushing about how in love [she and boyfriend Austin Butler] are. She said she knows it’s kind of early, but that Austin’s going to move in within the next few weeks…She bought this huge place when she was still with Zac Efron and said it’s felt really empty since they split.”

“Zac had been trying to win back Vanessa, but she’s moved on. At first [Zac Efron and Rumer Willis] socialize[d] in groups, then Rumer started going over to Zac’s L.A house. She’d decorate and make the place really home – then she began spending the night, and they’re acting like a couple. Zac told Rumer he’s developing strong feelings for her.”

“...Johnny, whos played guitar in rock bands since his teens, was absent when Vanessa took the kids out on Jan.2 to buy [son] Jack a guitar of his own. ’They’ve had a strange relationship, often spending weeks apart,’ an insider tells Star. ‘Now I think Johnny’s absences are more serious. His friends think he’s going through some sort of mini midlife crisis.’…As they reach a breaking point, friends worry that –who’s admitted to going through ‘so many years where I medicated myself’ – could be falling back on self-destructive bad habits. ‘He’s been drinking more over his unhappiness with his and Vanessa’s situation,’ says the source…’His behavior is starting to raise some red flags.’

“…[Jay-Z] and Beyonce, 30, weren’t taking any chances when baby Blue entered the world. The singer checked into Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City on Jan.6 using the name of real-life pal Ingrid Jackson. After the natural birth, in an ultraprivate sixth-floor suite, Beyonce and Blue – who debuted at 7lbs – were whisked off to the facilities fourth floor. The new parents reportedly spent $1.3 million renting the entire space and redecorating it… …’It was like she was gaining and losing the bump throughout the pregnancy. No wonder people were whispering that it was all a conspiracy.’”
“…The terms of Jennelle [Evans]’s ongoing probation prohibit her from ‘knowingly associating with any person or previously convicted users, possessors, or sellers of any illegal drugs,’ which Gary [Head] is. Jennelle was already arrested back in August for hanging with her ex-boyfriend Kiefer Delp, also a known drug user, and jail could be a very real possibility this time too…”

“…’She hated having to whip out her credit card every time they go to dinner. And it bummed her out that he had to borrow money from het to buy Christmas presents – including hers. So Jen figured it’s easier to give Casper a weekly stipend, and she thought $10k was a nice round number.’ … It was recently revealed that Casper – who was sentenced on Jan.3 to a years probation and a $500 fine for speeding – go-go dances for a mere $250 a night at L.A club Boulevard3. Says the source ‘Casper’s just a young dude who spends what little money he has on clothes and flashy jewelry.’  Now that he’s in the lap of money and dating a Hollywood A-lister, Casper is learning how to live like a star. ‘It’s a whole new world for him,’…”

“Robert never believed that Khloe was his biological daughter because Kris cheated on him during the time Khloe, 27, was conceived… …he and Kris were not even sleeping together. …As Khloe herself grew older, she herself questioned whether Robert was her dad. She even turned the situation into a storyline for the family’s TV show, submitting to DNA testing on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. But interestingly, she compared her DNA only to her mother’s, not Robert’s or her siblings’-which could have proven conclusively that Robert was not her biological father.”
“…’Khloe was babysitting…she got into her mother’s room, and it was a totally separate closet. And she went in there and found a whole wardrobe. Khloe called her dad and she was very upset, crying and screaming about it. And Robert said, “Well, what are you doing in his closet, for God’s sake? Get out of there…Maybe it’s your mother’s. Maybe it’s costumes or something.”  She goes “No, I know what size bra my mother wears. My mother doesn’t wear a size 13 shoe.” And on and on about high heels and nylons. I kept this quiet,’”
“…Khloe totaled a Mercedes six months after Robert gave it to her as a gift…Khloe ‘wanted a new car right away. He said, “No, I have this SUV,” and she said she didn’t want it. She called him cheap, called him names…He tried to give her his new Cherokee, and she said no Kardashian girl should ever drive a Cherokee. She wanted a Range Rover. She didn’t get it. …Robert was diagnosed with stage four cancer of the esophagus ‘Kim called him at his office and told him he was cheap because he wouldn’t buy Khloe a car, I mean, he was dying.’ “

“…’Lindsay feels strongly that she wants to distance herself from the family drama, and the only way to do that is to dump her mom as her manager…It’s typical of Lindsay to blame everyone else for her problems, but in this case she may have a point. She thought movie offers would come flooding in [after her Playboy feature], but nothing has happened. Lindsay has mounting debts, and she’s freaking out. She needs to do something drastic. She truly wants to be a respected actress, and she’s starting to realize that in order for her dreams to come true, she’s going to have to have someone else handle her career.’”
“Skeletal Ali Lohan is a shadow of her former self. But her modeling bosses are telling her to lose even more weight! And big sis Lindsay is ‘horrified.’ Lindsay confessed her worries to Janice Dickinson at L.A’s Chateau Marmont on Dec.31, and Janice is sharing the details of their serious talk with Star exclusively. ‘Lindsay was complaining that her sister is being sent off to Asia by her modeling agent,’ Janice tells Star. ‘She asked my opinion and I said, “If they can’t get Ali some work in this country, what good are they as an American agent!” Even worse, Lindsay then confided, the agent told Ali, 18, she needs to drop even more pounds! ‘Lindsay is horrified,’ Janice says. ‘She doesn’t want Ali going away, but worse still, she doesn’t  want  her  to lose more weight.’ Now the world’s first supermodel – who recently launched the website Janice TV – is lashing out at Next Model Management for exploiting not only Ali but scores of other runway stars. ‘Agents should have their jaws wired together,’ Janice snaps. ‘They pick these young girls and tell them to lose more weight and have plastic surgery.’ And while Ali’s agent insists she’s perfectly healthy, a picture really is worth a thousand words.”

I couldn't zoom in clearly on his devil horns
Why is THIS the promo pic for a comedy series? I don't give a shit about women cooing over a baby. 
I find it interesting the astrologists last name is Angel

The next two editions of Reading Between the Lines will feature January 30's People Magazine and February 6th's In Touch (headlines from In Touch about Kim Kardashian "Destroyed by Mom: Pushed by her mom to have sex at 14, and brainwashed by her obsession with money" plus "How Kris Jenner's secret demons turned Kim into a monster" Ooooh!!! In-ter-esting!

Also! Yes, I know it looks kinda crappy taking pics from magazines with my digital camera. Whatever! I don't have a scanner, and magazines run fitting imagery with their stories. If you don't like it, don't read my page.

In case you missed it


This is Roman performing, surrounded by psuedo-Nicki's. Rituals, symbolism, obvious switches in personality (watch the eyes after he chants "Eli Manning!" I think "Eli Manning" is a trigger for Roman's mother.) On another note: Holy fake ass!

New Weird Al Chock-full of Symbolism

Alpocalypse was released 06/21/2011

Every artist he parodies is either a pawn or handler.

I have been trying to take stills from the videos, to no avail. Apparently "prt sc" doesn't work for me, and most certainly right clicking is not working either.

I doubt I need to point any out as they're so obvious in this one!

He's singing about deceased actor Charles Nelson Reily, a comedic actor best known as a panelist from the 1970's Match Game show. Some of the lyrics include:

"Everyday he' make the host of Match Game give him a piggyback ride
Yeah, two hour piggyback ride, giddy up Gene

Ninja warrior, master of disguise "

Was he actually Gene's handler, disguised as a co-worker?

"He made sweet, sweet love to a manatee
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, that was something to see, I tell ya"

In Brice Taylor's book, Thanks For the Memories, she tells of being forced to engage in dolphin porn for Sylvester Stallone's sick satisfaction. Perhaps Al actually did observe CNR indulge in bizarre fetishes.

A lot of duality/mirrored imagery, I'm not sure what the meaning is behind the Native stuff.

SO MANY symbolic tattoos in this video, oh my goodness! So many blantly featuring the devil, death, he even has a zombie Ronald Reagan skating with Hello Kitty. (I told you zombies are real!) Dragons, dolphins...another reference to Presidential Models? Even a Colonel Sanders/chicken tattoo. I want to know what his obsession with the Colonel is about! He does a Buddhist meditation pose in one scene. Is it just me or does his tramp stamp resemble a pyramid?  And why does he have a tattoo with a man aiming a gun at cherubs? One features a checkerboard pattern with two sex kittens; one has 777 written on her. There is one eye floating in a background soon followed by the Tasmanian Devil aka Taz, crucified Jesus, and Che Guevara's disembodied head "running" away from the tat-man. 

It starts off with Yankovictims?? I can't help but be reminded of Ben's closing comments in my last post on Al "...he may be a monster, uhh...but he's the only Weird Al we've got. And we will leave you with one last memory of our time on the road with him. Every morning when he'd unlock the roadies room and let us out for breakfast and re-education..." There's more in the video that troubles me. Angel's Ass toilet paper, University of Al sweater (taking a jab at the course that disects his lyrics? Eric Dubay of the Atlantean Conspiracy details the truth behind the U.S education system), Yankovic of the Sea (what does Quagadougou Burkina Faso mean?), some of the boardgames he features are Moon Landing Denial, Freud, and Cbnhba-which looks like a badly spelled version of Canada. In the laundromat he wears a shirt with his name and the number 13 while giving a double-thumbs up. He tells his girlfriend she needs lipo while beauty queen Al flashes masonic hand signs, immediately followed by a Goku-Al making another hand sign while dollar bills fly from said hand. His girlfriend and her sister appear wearing black and purple stripes and skulls, the sister with purple hair. They also changed Supercuts to Stuporcuts. At "Wallmart" Weird Al appears on the tv screens with colourful checkerboards flashing behind him. There's also a recurring psuedo-Tinkerbell casting spells on his girlfriend. I could go on, but I feel I've said enough on this video. 


Some of the lyrics:

"Burn that microfilm buddy, will you,
I’d tell you why but then I’d have to kill you!

you need a quickie confession?
we'll start a waterboarding session!"

"Yeah, we’ve got our backups all over the world, from Kazakhstan to Bombay;
payin’ the bribes like yeah, pluggin’ the leaks like yeah;
interrogating the scum of the earth, we’ll break them by the break of day!"

"Need a country to stabilize?
look no further, we’re your guys!
we’ve got snazzy suits and ties,
and a better dental plan than the FBI!

Better put your hands up and get in the van,
or else you’ll get blown away!
stagin’ a coup like yeah,
brainwashin’ moles like yeah,
we only torture the folks we don’t like,
you’re probably going to be okay!"




The video for TMZ could have been better had it lined up with the lyrics. Lyrically, Al fully highlights many celebrity "meltdowns" over the last few years. I find it odd how he focuses predominantly on my girl Britney. (I don't care what anyone says, I empathize strongly with her.) The lyrics:

"You're sort of famous
a minor celebrity
and so it only makes sense
the world would be
obsessed with every
single thing you do

They're running 'round
with their camcorders in the night
they lurk impatienly
in hope that they just might
see something really embarrassing
you do

The bad hair day and sweat-stained t-shirts
that's the story that
they are gonna feature
with exclusive pics
of your flabby behind
you think you're all alone
but that's right when you'll find

A bunch of paparazzi
popping out of nowhere
cameras in your face
and then suddenly
you're on TMZ
you're on TMZ

Following you
when you're walking down the street
and asking stupid questions
while you're trying to eat
so you cover your face
thinking to yourself
"Hey, isn't this creepy?"

And they are there praying
you'll have a big meltdown
and take a mono-lethal car chase
through this whole town
they'll be there with you
when you're going to jail
first on the scene
for every wardrobe fail

You just picked up some transvestite
seconds later
it's up on the website
get a vegas wedding
a quickie divorce
and they'll be
sneaking in
snapping pictures, of course

And if they ever catch you
picking your nose
or storming down the street
in a drunken spree
you're on TMZ

Stalking you, just waiting by your front door
trailing you through
airport security
they were TMZ

they were TMZ

[We caught this oscar nominee picking up DOG POO!
Is that a baby back there?
I pronounce you guilty, of leaving the house while FAT!
Look Who's drinking COFFEE!
everything celebrities do is FASCINATING!]

Oh, let me tell you
it's getting to the point
where a famous person can't
even get a D.U.I
or go on a racist rant
those guys are all around
so you really shouldn't dare
go to every club in town
if you just lost your underwear

Seems that every single time
a star decides to shave her hair
or ram their car into a tree
they're on TMZ

If they catch you peeing in the bushes
later on, that night
well, I guarantee
you're on TMZ
you're on TMZ

you're on TMZ

Every single celebrity
knows they're gonna be

They're on TMZ"


I'm curious as to why he brought up Michael Richards, who co-starred in Weird Al's movie UHF. I suppose Al was "done" with Michael after the whole N-fiasco.

Zombies


This looks pretty real to me

Few people want to admit that zombies are real, they laugh it off as ridiculous. Yet if its so unrealistic, why are they so prevalent in pop culture? Movies, comics, tv, games, t-shirts, music? Why are people hacking signs of warning?


Max Brooks has written books detailing the various types of zombies, though he neglects to mention some and he's rumoured to be a pawn.

Various ways a zombie outbreak could happen (from Zombie Hub):

"Most of the historical research of zombie comes where they have originated, the Caribbean island of Haiti. The original type of real zombies are people who were manipulated by some kind of drug created by a voodoo priest and used as slave labor. these are also known as Haiti zombies or voodoo zombies."

"Some Parasites have the potential to cause behavior modification in their effected hosts. This change in behavior has already been documented in many species, including humans. Parasites need a way to transfer from host to host; this could be easily done through the exchange of bodily fluids."

"..viruses do not contain the necessary components needed to carry out the basic chemical reactions required for life. Because they can’t live on their own they infect host cells of other organisms to help them survive and reproduce. Like a parasite, viruses need to find ways to spread to new host cells in order to continue living. They have discovered many different ways to spread to new host organisms. The influenza virus transmits through a sneeze or a cough. Many have the ability to change the DNA of the host cell. Some viruses have even found ways to change the behavior of the host ."

"..in the late 1930’s Soviet scientists experimented with re-animation and some of these experiments were very successful."

The parasitic and virus theories should be warnings to more of us. The Healthy World Organization (no, I am not confusing it with the fraudulent World Health Organization), Jesse Ventura, various medical practitioners, and many more (perhaps people you know personally) have spoken out against vaccinations. There is one coming "soon" (I suspect tptb will release it around the much-hyped 2012) that will cause recipients to become unknowing carriers of a virus that causes others to become ill (most likely those who refused the shot, the elderly, the young, etc...), thus creating a "pandemic". In response, a "new" vaccination will be released. "The cure"...in reality, a strerility drug. Personally, I wish they'd release the sterility needle (or whatever form it takes) without the cloak and dagger. Many people would prefer a shot or pill over surgeries...but the majority of the world wants kids. This won't do for tptb. Population must be reduced, they say. This faux pandemic will kill many and prevent survivors from breeding. I'm looking forward to the sterility shot, but not the suffering of the masses leading up to it.

Looks pretty damn IN the skin to me!

I found these comments to be pretty interesting:

"We all are making light of the new H1N1 Virus aka Swine Flu but holy crap their is a variant that makes Zombies REAL and scares the hell out of me. BamKaPow has the following quote which they source to the BBC;
 'Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London. After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of its victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believed to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during ‘resurrection.’"
On a different site:

'http://65.127.124.62/south_asia/4483241.stm.htm (http://65.127.124.62/south_asia/4483241.stm.htm)

BBC Southeast Asia.

There has been a small outbreak of �zombism� in a small town near the border of Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.
The culprit was discovered to be mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rating killing victims in fewer than 2 days.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it�s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during �resurrection.�

Cambodian officials say that the outbreak has been contained and the public has no need to worry.

General Ary Serey had this to say, "We have obtained samples of this new virus and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all.'

US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opposed the plan saying that the Cambodian government holds a great biological weapon and should destroy it immediately. Cambodian officials have yet to comment.

A United Nations team will be dispatched to Cambodia to confirm the safety of biological research in Cambodia."
Later the same user posted:
"Nevermind, I think it's a hoax, I can't find anything to corraborate it and I can't find it on the BBC via the search feature."
Hoax? Not bloody likely-more like a leak was quickly covered. This is a very real report from ABC:
"In real life, the zombies come from the Caribbean island of Haiti. They are a person who has been almost-killed, and then later raised from the almost-dead by a voodoo priest, to be used as slave labour for the rest of their miserable life. Zombies can move, eat, hear and speak, but they have no memory and no insight into their condition. There have been legends about zombies for centuries, but it was only in 1980 that a real-life case was documented.
The story begins in 1962, in Haiti. A man called Clairvius Narcisse was sold to a zombie master by his brothers, because Clairvius refused to sell his share of the family land. Soon after Clairvius "officially" died, and was buried. However, he had been later secretly unburied, and was actually working as a zombie slave on a sugar plantation with many other zombies. In 1964, his zombie master died, and he wandered across the island in a psychotic daze for the next 16 years. The drugs that made him psychotic were gradually wearing off. In 1980, he accidentally stumbled across his long-lost sister in a market place, and recognized her. She didn't recognise him, but he identified himself to her by telling her early childhood experiences that only he could possibly know.
Dr. Wade Davis, an ethnobiologist from Harvard, went to Haiti to research this story. He discovered how to make a zombie. First, make them "dead", then make them "mad" so that their minds are malleable. Often, a local "witch doctor" secretly gives them the drugs.
He made the victim "dead" with a mixture of toad skin and puffer fish. You can put it in their food, or rub it on their skin, especially the soft, undamaged skin on the inside of the arm near the elbow. The victims soon appear dead, with an incredibly slow breath, and an incredibly slow and faint heartbeat. In Haiti, people are buried very soon after death, because the heat and the lack of refrigeration makes the bodies decay very rapidly. This suits the zombie-making process. You have to dig them up within eight hours of the burial, or else they'll die of asphyxiation.
The skin of the common toad (Bufo bufo bufo) can kill - especially if the toad has been threatened. There are three main nasties in toad venon - biogenic amines, bufogenine and bufotoxins. One of their many effects is that of a pain-killer - far stronger than cocaine. Boccaccio's medieval tale, the Decameron, tells the story of two lovers who die after eating a herb, sage, that a toad had breathed upon.
The other half of the witch doctor's wicked potion comes from the pufferfish, which is known in Japan as "fugo". Its poison is called "tetrodotoxin", a deadly neurotoxin. Its pain-killing effects are 160,000 times stronger than cocaine. Eating the fish can give you a gentle physical "tingle" from the tetrodotoxin - and in Japan, the chefs who prepare fugo have to be licensed by the government. Even so, there are rare cases of near-deaths or actual deaths from eating fugo. The toxin drops your temperature and blood pressure, and puts you into a deep coma. In Japan, some of the victims recovered a few days after being declared dead.
Back in Haiti, once you've got the zombie-in-waiting out of the ground, you make them mad, by force-feeding them a paste made from datura (Jimsons Weed). Datura breaks your links with reality, and then destroys all recent memories. So you don't know what day it is, where you are and, worst of all, you don't even know who you are. The zombies are in a state of semi-permanent induced psychotic delirium. They are sold to sugar plantations as slave labour. They are given datura again if they seem to be recovering their senses."

In 2009 the creator of the Undead Report posted about construction signs being hacked. There were about 3 posts in total featuring several pictures. Harmless nerdy pranksters having fun? The authors final post on the subject was most disturbing:

"The Illinois freeways have apparently been taken over – ‘conquered’ if you will – by a master race of commuter zombies. It’s difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive IDOT workers or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the zombies will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new undead overlords. I’d like to remind them as a trusted blogging personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground brain mines."

Oh really??

He even has a map on his website pointing out various zombie "sightings", news and whatnot. He is quite serious that the zombies are coming...or are already here.

Ebaums World has security footage of what looks like a real life zombie.

Yes, I'm serious. I believe zombies, of all kinds, are real and they will come. Some may be Hollywood-ized Undead, others may simply be MK or Haitian slaves, some may Turn from parasites or viruses. We don't know what we'll face-we may not even realize we're dealing with a zombie when it happens.

But it'll happen.
