BBC Cambodian Troops Quarantine Quan'sulThere 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 rate and kills victims in fewer than 2 days. After death, this parasite 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.” 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 parasite 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. ------------------------------------------------ ;D - Aric

Holy ****! When did Cambodia get an army? ;D
Like they're actually going to use it for medical reasons. Maybe for themselves, yes, but the rest of us, are probably going to get the parasite. Or maybe they're just making the whole thing up for attention. You know it's a good joke, when the UN gets involved.

I generally don't like April Fool's jokes. Too predictable. LOL! Anyway, the dog resurrection article reminded me to put up the prank zombie article from the "BBC". I can make more zombie threads if you want. - Aric
