Zombie Pigs First, Then Hibernating Soldiers (via Wired)

What?! DARPA is funding the Texas A&M Institute for Preclinical Studies (TIPS) to develop a cocktail that will extend the “golden period” when injured war fighters have the best chance of recovery from massive bloodloss? They’ve awarded 9.9 million to TIPS to develop an injection that will place the injured soldier into a state of suspended animation where the body does not require oxygen, as well as stopping further blood loss (the heart stops beating). The soldier will have a much longer window of treatment after which they will be “reanimated” and once recovered fully, back out on the battlefield in search of brains.

They’ve successfully conducted trial on rats, and now they’re using pigs because their cardiovascular system is close to a human’s. Is this the new swine flu? Will we see a horde of crazed pigs shambling through the streets in search of man-bacon?

disclaimer: I actually dig the fact that they’re doing this type of research to help save the lives of injured soldiers on the battlefield. Many lives are lost due to blood loss that is normally preventable, but not in the heat of battle. I just hope they’re not makin’ zombies.

If you’re in or around Chicago on Saturday, October 31st, and over 21, I’d suggest you stop by Betty’s Blue Lounge on 1600 W. Grand Ave. and check out the Sex, Ghouls & Rock n’ Roll costume event. It’s going to feature live bands, DJ’s, and Zprepared.com is sponsoring a Sexy Costume contest where 1st place wins their very own Stripper Pole. It goes from 9pm to 5am and it’s 10 bucks at the door. It’s a real bargain when you consider you get a FREE hour thrown in because of daylight savings time.

Two of our favorite pastimes at Zprepared.com include watching Zombie ~~Movies~~ Outbreak Survival Simulation Videos and drinking. Columnist, and possible Zombie Survivalist, Tom Horgen for the Minneapolis Star Tribune has unearthed a story about a bar themed around one of the most entertaining Zombie Outbreak Survival Simulation Videos in recent history. Located in Minneapolis, this Shaun of the Dead inspired saloon is the perfect watering hole for Zsurvivalists to gather and throw back a few cold ones after a long day of Undead skull splitting.
