Trending Now...

Have you ever wondered what someone else is thinking? I'm not talking about when someone cuts you off in traffic, or your child paints a curse word on grandma's wall. I'm talking about at the core of their being... what is it that concerns that person? What drives them. Or maybe more importantly... what is it that scares them? Because fear can be an amazing motivator.

To the left is a screen capture from my computer taken today of what Yahoo says is "trending now." See what's in that circle? Why, do you think, would people be concerned about a zombie apocalypse? It seems that an apocalypse of any kind is in the back of a lot of people's minds these days... but a zombie apocalypse? That's not possible. Right?

Could it be that people are reading a little much into the immense popularity of zombies right now? Maybe people are confusing those images with the National Geographic show "Doomsday Preppers." As of this writing, the Doomsday Dashboard for that reality program states the #2 scenario concerning folks right now is some kind of pandemic... a sickness.. maybe a virus? Hmm.

If that's the case, maybe those same people that are concerned have seen THIS ARTICLE that states how a full on zombie apocalypse is scientifically possible. (despite the fact this article is from Cracked.com)

Maybe they saw THIS ARTICLE yesterday about a crazed man eating the face of another man. Apparently, he wouldn't respond to police (except to growl) and was killed.

Personally, I don't believe we're in any danger of a horde of undead shuffling thru our city streets. But, it's a bizarre world we live in. And it's growing even more bizarre by the day. So I guess when I consider that, I'm kind of surprised zombie apocalypse wasn't number ONE on the list.

Aim high. Run fast.
