Part Frankenstein, part mummy, all Scottish

If you thought you had prepared for every possible zombie, vampire or Kardashian outbreak, then you’d better sit down for this: Frankenstein mummies.

Yes, Frankenstein mummies. Part Frankenstein[‘s monster], part mummy, all Scottish. There’s no cereal box spooky enough to convert this threat into marshmallow form.

And you know what? It makes sense. Science has warned us for years about bacterial super strains due to overuse of antibiotics. It was only a matter of time that our monsters developed super strains due to overuse in adaptations of classic literature and American history.

Science thinks pets are good for your kids, ignoring their teeth

Science enjoys nothing better than undermining the War on Animals. In fact, it hates humanity like nothing else, that’s why it keeps working to build machines that will one day rise up against us. But for now, it’s just the pets we need to deal with.

Finnish researchers say that if you have kids, it’s a good idea to have a dog or cat, because there’s a better chance that your offspring will not have respiratory issues as they grow. Of course, that’s if you leave out the ever-present threat to your respiratory health when they rip out your throat while you sleep.
