Cambodian Troops Quarantine Quan'sul
There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in a small town near the border of Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.

Cambodian troops moved into Quan'sul after Malaria victims attack populace.

The culprit was discovered to be mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rating killing victims in fewer than 2 days.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

Cambodian officials say that the outbreak has been contained and the public has no need to worry.

General Ary Serey had this to say, "We have obtained samples of this new virus and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all."

US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opposed the plan saying that the Cambodian government holds a great biological weapon and should destroy it immediately. Cambodian officials have yet to comment.

A United Nations team will be dispatched to Cambodia to confirm the safety of biological research in Cambodia.

This news is from April 1 -2 could it be an APril fools thing??

hahahhahahaha!!!

See that name at the very top of it?
That's MEEEE!!!



This was an April Fools joke from 2004. I posted it on the site on April 28th 2005, as it says at the top. Did you copy it from this forum?

You copied and pasted this from another thread on the forum, from Burnside (his name's at the top?), so I think a few people would've seen it before.

But it's a just clever hoax. The people who came up with the idea cloned the BBC website, aswell as CNN, to make it look like the news was coming from those sites. It's purely fiction though, like it says in the thread you copied from.(..?)

Blimey, that's a relief!! LOL

To bad !! I had already barricaded myself with my trusty shotgun and colt45 and a keg of "Presidente" beer, I was ready for them Zombies!!!

Note to self; read the entire thread before taking action...

Dang...I just took a potshot at the mailman thinking he was a zombie...he moves kinda slow...how was I to know?

...hopefully my attorney can work things out...

kidding...

I remember this when it originally came out; it scared kids all over the forum; it was great.

Yeah i know, i really enjoyed that one.

Speaking of zombies Burnside, have you read Jesus Freaks?

No, i'm afraid I cannot say I have.
Should I have?

So far it is really good. I hate to say it, but I am running out of zombie books...I ordered a couple from Amazon, but they seem to be the last of the zombie related books. It is kinda sad... It is surprising how few zombie books there are... I have read probably 25 or so since last october and I can't seem to find anymore... I found some fanart kind of writing which is hit and miss, but nothing like Brian Keene...

Uh huh...

Like neither one of you started reaching for the barricades, too.



25? Wow, I haven't read a single one.

Which ones do you recommend, apart from the biblical Survival Guide?

A virus causes the heart to restart itself, resulting in a form of "zombism"? Time to get out a 12-gauge shotgun...

Thanks Fluffs i'll def check it out.




I was the one who posted it. And it was shown to me as is, i knew from the getgo it was a gag. Unfortunately.

That's a relief, when you suggested it was a government cover-up I thought we'd lost you for a moment.

Hahahahaha

Wow......

Id feel sooo stupid if i opened this....

There was a collection of short stories based on un-dead/zombies. I recall a Steven King short in that collection called "The Good Parts". I think it was the first time a book ever made me gag. Ewww.

I can't seem to find it anywhere though. Maybe I'm mistaken. I saw a book called "Book of The Dead" with a King short story. I'll look around.


EDIT: I was wrong. It's Book of The Dead, and the story I referred to was The good parts / Les Daniels . Kings contribution was Home delivery / Stephen King. Both good stories. I liked the whole book, and I usually avoid short stories.

read that 2 years ago...very old ..boring

Just like this dead thread.

Then why did you post in the topic, ressurect the topic for no reason, and waste time?
Please don't, in the future.

Topic closed.
