Some 600 people in Peru have required treatment after an object from space - said to be a meteorite - plummeted to Earth in a remote area, officials say.They say the object left a deep crater after crashing down over the weekend near the town of Carancas in the Andes.
People who have visited scene have been complaining of headaches, vomiting and nausea after inhaling gases.
Well, this is just about how every bad (and good) zombie film starts. I also can't help but notice a disturbing likeness to Lovecraft's story, "The Colour Out of Space." Face it, dear readers, something very nasty is on the way. Space AIDS or Ebola in the best case, the living dead in the worst. Not surprisingly, we find ourselves returned to the old, but popular question of what would you do to survive a zombie epidemic?
Everyone immediately rushes into thinking Wal-Marts or Malls would make excellent hideouts. I beg to differ. Just for the record, I'll be taking my chances going as far north as possible. Sure, the northern wastes of Canada presented their own problems in World War Z, but I'm optimistic. Let's just hope the zombies aren't the first wave of a noxious bio-weapon from some extraterrestrial intelligence. Then things will get a little too interesting for my tastes. I've never been one for multi-apocalyptic nightmare mode.
