Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead were cool and good movies, but the genre gets pretty weird and crappy after that. Notable exceptions: Lucio Fulci's Zombi (where a zombie fights a shark under water, no joke) and Return of the Living Dead.

Kinda NSFW for 70s scuba boobs

Apparently the shark was fed horse meat full of tranquilizers before that scene, and the zombie is the shark's wrangler.

Zombi also has that nightmare-inducing scene where a zombie slowly pulls a chick's eye socket onto a jagged wooden splinter.

What the congressman had failed to consider is that one of our notable scientists has calculated that the optimal ratio for a reserve breeding population is ten women to each man. Now, this will regrettably necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, as far as men are concerned. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics, which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

Don't worry, I appreciated your Dr Strangelove reference.

quote:

The condition for which Senator John McCain had surgery on Friday may be more serious than initial descriptions have implied, and it may delay his return to Washington by at least a week or two, medical experts said on Sunday.

The Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, has already announced that votes on a bill to dismantle the Affordable Care Act will not begin until Mr. McCain’s return. A statement released by Mr. McCain’s office on Saturday had suggested that he would be in Arizona recovering for just this week, but neurosurgeons interviewed said the typical recovery period could be longer.

The statement from Mr. McCain’s office said a two-inch blood clot was removed from “above his left eye” during a “minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision” at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix, “following a routine annual physical.” Surgeons there are not conducting interviews. Mr. McCain’s communications director, Julie Tarallo, said further information would be made public when it became available.

A craniotomy is an opening of the skull, and an eyebrow incision would be used to reach a clot in or near the left frontal lobes of the brain, neurosurgeons who were not involved in Mr. McCain’s care said.

Governors Give Chilly Reception to Health Bill Push JULY 15, 2017

Senate Republicans Unveil New Health Bill, but Divisions Remain JULY 13, 2017

What Was Behind Those Befuddling McCain Questions? JUNE 8, 2017
“Usually, a blood clot in this area would be a very concerning issue,” said Dr. Nrupen Baxi, an assistant professor of neurosurgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.

He added, “The recovery time from a craniotomy is usually a few weeks.”

A statement from the Mayo Clinic Hospital said that the senator was recovering well and in good spirits at home, and that tissue pathology reports would come back in several days.

But many questions have been left unanswered, including whether Mr. McCain had symptoms that prompted doctors to look for the clot. In June, his somewhat confused questioning of James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, led to concerns about his mental status, which he later jokingly dismissed by saying he had stayed up too late watching baseball the night before.

“Usually, a blood clot like this is discovered when patients have symptoms, whether it’s a seizure or headaches or weakness or speech difficulties,” Dr. Baxi said. “Generally, it’s not found on a routine physical because doctors would not know to look for it.”

The cause of the clot has not been disclosed. The possibilities include a fall or a blow to the head, a stroke or certain brain changes associated with aging. Mr. McCain is 80.

Apparently it's not possible to advance a major healthcare bill without killing a long-time Senator.

In current events news, one of Trump's lawyers has tried to say that it's the secret service's job to stop Don jr. and other Trump circle people from meeting with Russian intelligence if they're so bad. The secret service claps back with, uh no it's not and besides that, he wasn't under our protection at the time anyways.

It's hard to imagine a scenario where a middle aged spiritualist would be so threatening to a group of armed men. Unfortunately for her there were no witnesses so there will not even be an investigation even if the cops hosed up.

Cop may find his/herself in hot water. The department has not at all come out swinging saying it was justified, just that they're looking into the matter. And one report is that the cop shot across the driver, from passenger seat, to hit her, which is a real weird engagement. Mayor has said some vague stuff about this being deeply troubling and they're investigating.

Details are lacking, but the story that I've heard is that she was standing at the driver's side door talking to the driver when the passenger, for completely unknown reasons, shot past his partner in the driver's seat and killed her.

Politically speaking the city's in a bad position because if they convict that cop for manslaughter after they just let the cop who murdered Philando Castile off, it's going to justify a lot of what BLM has been saying about Minnesota treating blacks as second-class citizens.

The other cop was acquitted at trial so if his cop is convicted at trial then it's on the juries of the twin cities. In theory at least.

Wasn't the previous incident Ramsey county instead of Hennepin?

Doesn't really change anything, there's still a strong tendency for juries to acquit in police shooting cases if the victim was black versus white, as well as an unwillingness for prosecutors to fully push the case. Which still highlights BLM's complaint.
