heading for the state of zombie

This gas leak stuff in nyc is really weird. How can they report that they're getting 911 calls about nausea and then say that its not harmful?

Our firm has been sending firmwide emails telling us that its not harmful but just to be safe they encourage us to drink plenty of water. Anything that requires drinking plenty of water sounds harmful to me. Also many buildings are closing off their air vents. I understand that they're trying to prevent an NYC stampede, because truly, that would be insane, but they should be careful about what kind of advice they drop.

That's like robbing a convenience store by holding a gun out and telling the clerk there's no bullets in it, but "no I will not pull the trigger just to prove it."

Its like boiling up some hassenpfeffer and telling your vegetarian guest that the rabbit skeleton in the wastecan has nothing to do with the menu.

In any case, its times like these that I realize how easy it is to imagine a zombie scenario. If all of NYC turned into zombies b/c of some mysterious "smell" and the national guard got brought in. There's just so much we don't know about science. Is there a team of scientists that have been hired to prove zombification is not possible at all?
