Well, better get your anti-zombie supplies in order, just in case. It's a bit longer than usual from the onset of the plague to start having the victims rise, but it could always be a mutant strain instead. Not enough time really to prepare a nuclear bunker, or anti-alien-invasion defenses that wouldn't be covered about as well by the zeke kit.
But did they give him the ticket after all? Australian cops pull a man over for speeding ... and find he's afraid
he may've been bitten by the deadly snake he just killed.

Quote:Of all the things to expect when you pull someone over, my initial thought is that this would have to be a first for those officers. Then I remembered this is Australia, so it was probably the fourth case of person-speeding-down-the-highway-fighting-with-a-deadly-snake they'd seen that day, and they wished for a funnel web spider just to break the monotony.
This article doesn't make quite clear whether he
was still driving while fighting the snake, or if he pulled over to finish it. A
linked article, though, suggests he never came to a full stop before killing the critter. By the way, it's a protected species....

Little-known fact: "Australia" is actually an abbreviated form. The land's
full name is "Aauuuggghhhh

Lots of wildlife has been flourishing with less humans and their byproducts around - apparently bees are also among them. This article doesn't go into any speculation on the reason, though I'd put some good odds on reduced noise and air pollution from traffic causing less stress to make them vulnerable to mites and diseases, but it's a very positive sign considering it does note that over 40% of honeybee colonies tracked by the organization mentioned were lost last year.
