BBC NEWS | Europe | EU quarantines London in swine flu panic.

Ummmm…  Zombies are real?

There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in London due to mutation of the H1N1 virus into new strain: H1Z1.

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 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.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the alert to phase six, its highest level, and advised governments to activate pandemic contingency plans.

In Mexico, the epicentre of the outbreak, President Felipe Calderon urged people to stay at home over the next five days.

New upper available for your OLL

“Hunting will get a lot more interesting next month when PSE releases their TAC-15 crossbow. It mounts directly on a AR-15 rifle, allowing you to swap between both weapons with minimal tinkering. Why would you need a crossbow when you are already holding an AR-15? I cannot envision a scenario where it makes sense—unless you are invited to some island beyond the bounds of law where men are hunted for sport. You don’t want to make it too easy, so you hunt with the crossbow. Then again, we are talking about the most dangerous game of all here, so you have the high-powered rifle as a backup. Speaking of backups, you might want to add the G.R.A.D. .22-cal knife gun to your double-kill arsenal just in case. Hit the following link to see a video of the TAC-15 in action.”

hmmmm

Finally!!

An AR15 that will DO WORK on Vampires!!!

ELMOTO HR-2 to conquer Europe this summer, USA next spring

ELMOTO HR-2 to conquer Europe this summer, USA next spring.

Combining some of the better qualities of a bicycle and an electric scooter with style, this light electric vehicle (LEV) is designed and built in Germany and we’ve learned that it will be hitting the European market this July. Built on an aluminum frame, the HR-2 uses 33 lb ft of torque from a brushless 1.7 kW motor to take you up to about 30 mph in a spirited fashion. It’s lithium battery packs enough energy to keep you moving along for 40 miles and recharges to 80 per cent in 2 hours, all the way in 4 with an available high-performance charger.

The Marzocchi 888 suspenders up front and dual oil-spring shocks in the back should turn any rough surface into smooth sailing and help you enjoy your quiet ride. It comes equipped with an instrument panel that tracks your speed, battery capacity and remaining range to keep you informed. Buyers in Europe should be prepared to part with 33340€ ($4,389) before tax and shipping. We’re told that Americans who want a piece of this sweet emission-free action might have a chance at getting their own ELMOTO before Christmas though, if not, it will definitely be here by Spring 2010. Bookmark their website now and check it out again when it gets a make-over in May.

Redding Walmart limiting ammo purchases already?

At our local Walmart we were dumbfounded when there was actually some ammo on the shelf, but they were not willing to sell it to us. I’m sure not shopping at that Walmart anymore.

After talking with the assistant manager Robyn we found that she was actually unaware of their ammo cap but was backing the policy.

Bad Walmart

No Walmart, I’m not understanding, sell me my ammo!
