Public Service Announcement

I interrupt your irregularly scheduled blog posts for a very important public service announcement:

Zombies dragons infest Wales!


Zombies are undead creatures that enjoy eating human flesh, in particular brains. For your own safety, it is imperative to know the location of the nearest specially designed zombie-bunker if you must travel in Wales.

If you encounter a zombie, you should take shelter in the nearest zombie-bunker. If this is not possible, (1) run as fast as you can and (2) prevent any contact with the zombie's blood, which carries pathogens that can turn you into a zombie.

Zombie dragons frequent Welsh pubs and research suggests that the Welsh zombies prefer to drink brains in alcoholic form, in the form of a beer of the same name. It is quite possible that the infestation has been rendered mostly harmless by this preference. However, despite being relatively harmless, the beer preference has reached epidemic status: Brains is said to be the Guinness of Wales.

------------------------------

Thank you for your suspension of disbelief in today's update. I hope you got a few chuckles out of this--I found the pub sign hilarious and wanted to share my immediate (and irreverent) impression with you.

Brains is indeed a beer that is famous throughout Wales and is named after the family who has brewed it for the past 120+ years (and not a particular bit of human anatomy).

The next update will be in a more traditional style, promise!
