Wild, Wacky & True – There Are Zombies in Austin, Texas

Drivers on a major road in Austin, Texas, got a surprise — electronic traffic signs bearing warnings including, “Zombies ahead! Run for your lives!” and “Nazi Zombies! Run!!!”

How did the messages get there?

Pranksters cut the padlocks on the computers for several signs throughout the city, and programmed the zombie messages. The hackers also changed the computer passwords, making it difficult for city officials to reprogram the signs.

The officials weren’t laughing.

“This is really serious, and it is a crime,” a city spokeswoman said.

And that, my friend, is the funniest story I’ve read all week.
