I bring you…real zombies!

The BBC says that a certain mosquito in Cambodia not only carries death-inducing Malaria, but also can somehow restart the heart and vital organs of its victim for up to two hours after death.

The individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believed to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

Spooky! I have to say, this takes the cake for crazy ways to die (or not die, as the case may be). I wonder if there’s video of the zombies. There must be, somewhere. Is it morbid that I want to see it? Probably. I should just wait a few months. By the fall, it will be all the rage in celebrity suicides, I’m sure.

(Cut to Katie Holmes, freshly dumped by Tom Cruise, on a rebound trip to Cambodia, she purposefully lays out next to standing water, hoping to attract a viable companion. Cut to Katie, now a zombie, swatting at the cameraman. Do I hear “braaaaains?” Cut to America, yawning.)

The Cambodians want to study the mosquito to see how it works and what its medicinal uses might be. Meanwhile, Condi’s ready to lob bombs at them, terrified that they’ll reveal that Bush is, in fact, a mosquito-spawned zombie.
