Boston PD: Ready to do battle with the undead

When the zombies come, (and trust us, they will) you can depend on the Boston Police Department to tell you about it–unlike other government agencies, who cover up the zombie threat because they want to keep us dumb and sheep-like.

This revelation comes to us by the hotbed of pointless banter unreliable intelligence important announcements, Twitter. The Boston Police Department tweeted that one of its officers was being treated at a hospital for a human bite on May 19. Boston Police follower willcady responded, asking if it was a zombie bite, would the police tell the public.

The response: “@willcady Yes, absolutely.”

There you have it. A new era of government transparency has swept through the ranks of Boston’s finest. If the zombies hit Beantown, BPD will tell you wicked fast. Same goes for if the Aqua Teen Hunger Force plant bombs around the city.

Sleeping with the goldfishes

When you run a pet store, you expect order, receive and sell animals. This is a slave trade the Guys wholeheartedly agree with. But when you order some fish, you generally expect to receive some fish.

A pet store in Pennsylvania instead receive a message from the animal kingdom in the form of a human corpse. Rather than getting the fish the store ordered, instead they got the body of a 65-year-old San Diego man who the mainstream media would have you believe died of Alzheimer’s disease, but we know better.

US Airways said the delivery was a mix-up in the shipment of cargo. The body was supposed to go to a lab in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The good news is the fish did not end up getting shipped anywhere, and probably died at the airport.

Come fly Air Abu Ghraib

What can possibly make the airline experience any better? After all, you already get to deal with long lines, airline employees who refuse to look you in the eye, getting felt up and the eventual cancellation of your flight shortly after you reach the gate. If you said, “Electroshock therapy! Electroshock therapy is the only thing that could possibly make flying more enjoyable!” you win, dear reader.

The Washington Times (motto: “Young People Are Ruining The World”) reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is considering ID bracelets that would expedite the traveling experience on the security end. It would serve as a boarding pass, contain personal information about you and helps keep track of your luggage.

Oh, and it can also shock you, rendering you immobile for several minutes.
