To continue Tuesday's theme, in addition to attacking my favorite literary characters, apparently the Zombies have struck in Austin as well. KXAN.com has the full story on the hackers, who changed road signs on major streets in Austin to read "Zombies in Area! Run for Your Lives!" As a bonus, they've included a guide to the undead, which has a link to the Jane Austen book my friend Sarah found (their site has much better details about the book than Amazon or BN).It's hilarious. Apparently this is a "very serious crime" but honestly, I can't help saluting the balls and brilliance of whoever did it. If you're worried about your chances against the undead and want to create your very own escape plan, here's a great place to start. My question is, what's with the popularity of zombies all of a sudden? Is it like when all the children's fantasy novels got popular riding on the back of the Harry Potter series? All the paranormal beings are trendy now that everybody's in love with the vampires and werewolves in Twilight?Jane Austen Poll Results:
