Montana Zombie attacks, Harlem shake, lightening strikes, puce.

In brief, zombie attacks were recently reported in Montana, etc. This is a cause for concern, of course, but fortunately it proved that someone had just hacked the emergency warning feed. While this may seem a little War Of The Worlds-esque, NPR's Monkey See blog put together a list to ascertain whether or not a zombie attach is truly happening.

Has anyone else heard of the dance Harlem Shake? It's becoming a thing, i guess, whereby someone stands pretty much spread-eagled and shakes, usually on a table; the base kicks in and everyone else joins. This article has complied quite a few various youtube clips. i dunno, the underwater one gets points for most (obviously) contrived?

In the spirit of pure sensationalism, on the day that Pope Benedict gave his resignation notice, St. Peter's Basilica apparently got hit by lightening. Twice? No word follows on how frequently it hits any other day.

Puce is a light purple-ish color. Apparently, the word is from the French for flea;. Why? According to wikipedia... "The color is said to be the color of the bloodstains remaining on linen or bedsheets, even after being laundered, from a flea's droppings or after a flea has been killed."

Finally, vinegar Valentines for your perusal here. And, what the what, here's another link.
