Something that happened this weekend and has nothing to do with this photo: A friend said in such a distressed way, and for no apparent reason: “God protect us!!!”
Which in a split second I got myself thinking: “Whaaaa? Has it started already? Le zombie apocalypse?”

I haven’t decided yet if it’s funny or sad :P

Sometimes I think it’s not Jesus who’ll save the world, zombies will. Too bad the mere idea of zombies makes no sense at all.
But the idea has been around for thousands of years… The flesh-hungry undead, often in the form of ghouls and vampires, have been a fixture of world mythology dating at least since The Epic of Gilgamesh, in which the Goddess Ishtar promises:

“I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld,
I will smash the door posts, and leave the doors flat down,
and will let the dead go up to eat the living!
And the dead will outnumber the living!”

Curious…
