You can now order zombies using your ride-sharing app. In New York and San Francisco, Lyft has arranged for actors dressed as zombies to appear at your desired location this Halloween. Meanwhile, CareerBuilder has analyzed data about America's 53 largest cities to determine which one is most likely to survive a zombie attack, weighting 8 factors including the percentage of engineers in the population and the number of small arms manufacturers.
Exploiting the popular fascination with zombies has apparently become a new Halloween tradition for everyone from job-finding sites to self-published authors. One blog even notes the number of zombie-themed ebooks in Amazon's Kindle Store has doubled every year since 2011, peaking this year at 15,659 different titles.

VLM, every time you post stuff, I can't help but think, "that's something my dad would say." I'm not considering that a bad thing necessarily, but this is about the fourth damned time it's happened.
You... you don't live in central Illinois do you?

LOL no I've lived pretty much everywhere but Illinois. Chicago is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. I can take a high-ish speed train there pretty quickly if I want, faster than a car could get downtown. Every freaking state in the upper midwest has a "germantown" somewhere in the state boundaries and we all sound about the same must be genetic.
