The World of Warcraft has been experiencing a large-scale zombie invasion in recent days. As you might expect, the notoriously quarrelsome populace has separated into pro- and anti-zombie camps:

Pro: Being a zombie is fun! Hunting zombies is fun!

Con: Being killed by zombies all the time is NOT fun, especially when it can happen on servers without player-vs-player combat. Also, conducting ordinary business is impossible when important NPCs are being zombified at legendary rates....

Yet another hiking story:

In my youth, I was a Boy Scout. One summer, my troop decided to go to the Philmont Scout Ranch. This was the Cadillac Eldorado of Scout ranches and it had quite the national reputation.

My hiking group was feeling wild and free. We had decided that we would march as fast as we can down the trails. Mutilated versions of Led Zeppelin's "D'Yer Maker" were our marching songs.

But our adult adviser (who was from my troop) kept slowing us down and frustrating us. Eventually, I asked him why he was so slow.

"Just look around you."

Sudddenly I saw the gorgeous wilderness; tall pines reaching for an sapphire sky and faroff mountains studding the horizon.

Funny enough, I don't remember whether I slowed down or not.
