Its false.
Its much less than that.
A smoker dies every 8 seconds.
Every time you draw breath someone dies (so please... have a TicTac)

There are more than 6 billion people on Earth. And about 130 billion dead people. If the dead ever rose, they'd kick our butts.

That's why we must stockpile weapons so we can pwn the zombies when they come.

Actually, Russia and the US have enough nuclear arsenel to kill the world population 10 times over. Or is it 100 times? Well, if it's 10, we're still screwed, and if it's 100, well... devil.gif

I had the greatest WTF thing that I was going to post... but I forgot it.
Now I'm wondering if I lost a piece of my mind when that happened.

However, here's one for the fans.
A zombie is not dead, or even dead Undead. Zombies are living humans who have had their will destroyed by voodoo after ingesting an elixir made from, amongst other things, particular fish liver and root. They serve their master without question, and are actually very fast and vivious, rather than slow lumbering creatures often depicted in hollywood.
There are very few kinds of corporeal undead - vampires, liches, banshees and the occasional wight.

Fact: Sometimes, I actually understand what BiggSpiffy is saying.

The above was not one of those times.

If anyone is wondering why the undead are called the undead...

WE are undead. We ain't dead, so we're undead right? So why the hell are vampires and zombies and shit called the undead? Comes from a scene in Dracula. I've probably quoted wrong and included the wrong characters, but nevertheless...

CAST
Van Helsing
Stupid Man I Can't Remember The Name Of
Lucy Who Is Apparently Dead

Stupid Man: "Who commited the foul acts we just witnessed?"
Van Helsing "I'm afraid it was Lucy."
Stupid Man: "Ye gods man! You mean she's still alive?"
Van Helsing: "Not alive...just undead."

And history was made.

Regarding all the jellyfish trivia...That's so odd because for the past few days I've been doing research on these critters for an upcoming magazine feature. And I was also aware of seahorse fathers carrying the eggs in their pouches before the young hatch.

Some octopus facts:

Baby octopi are about the size of a flea when they are first born

The octopus mothers lay anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 eggs and spend so much time and energy caring for them that they usually die shortly after the babies hatch. How incredibly sad!

We always use the word undead for vampires and stuff - but if you read through Dracula and all the older stories again they say Dead Un-Dead.
So they are dead, but they aren't acting like normal dead.
