Funny Stuff

Every Friday, I attend a class called Bizarre Behavior. Today, we had a guest lecturer, Dr. Rainer Buschman, talk about zombies. Yes, I am learning about zombies in college. Psychology is such an interesting science. We get to learn every possible situation a human will find themselves in.

He included a cartoon in his slides that had a picture of 2-3 zombies sitting together. One of them proclaimed, "Whoa...I just had a near life experience." Under the picture is a heading: Zombie Encounter Group. That really tickled my funny bone for some reason.

And...I could not stop laughing until the extreme violence of the film "28 Days Later" shut me down. Up to that moment, I had the giggles for most of his lecture. He showed clips of "Dawn of the Dead". This movie has some of the worst acting I have ever witnessed. He also showed a list of instructions to avert the imminent threat of zombies.

Although his lecture was a bit long, he kept us entertained. I learned that zombies originates from the Voodoo religion. I also discovered that I am an Animist. He described animism as belief that everything has a spirit.

I could go on, but I think I’ve had enough zombie for today. :)
