Iffy: Two "Zombie" Skeletons Dug Up In Ireland

Two men’s skeletons , originally buried around 700AD, were uncovered that had big-ass rocks jammed in their mouths, a practice that was later reserved for vampires . But, since vampire folklore wasn’t prevalent in the area until the 1500’s, archaeologists now believe it was a zombie scare . Gee — great deduction, guys. *MASSIVE F***ING EYEROLL* One of the men was between 40 and 60 years old, and the other was a young adult, probably between 20 and 30 years old. The two men were laid side by side [although buried at different times] and each had a baseball-sized rock shoved in his mouth. “In this case, the stones in the mouth might have acted as a barrier to stop revenants from coming back from their graves,” Read told Discovery News. Right, zombies . Listen, ‘archaeologists’ — are you familiar with the phrase, “the simplest answer is often best?” These two were chatterboxes . Obviously you’ve never lived with a roommate that doesn’t know when to shut their pie-hole. I actually tried making one eat a gym sock before. He did too. Plus my shoelaces. :/ Did Zombies Roam Medieval Ireland? [discovery] via Zombie Remains of the Day [geeks.thedailywh.at] Thanks to Mike, who wants to be buried with a pie in his mouth. SAME.

Drawin’ w/ Light: Skeletons Of The Apocalpyse

Seen here looking like some sort of futuristic vision, Janne Parviainen takes photographs painted with LEDs / sparklers . Impressive Janne, but try painting with darkness. Haha — can’t do it, can you?! You’ve gotta sell your soul to the devil for that shit! Straight from the camera. When you’re standing two hours in a knee deep snow in minus 20 celcius degrees taking photos, playing with fire starts to sound like a great idea, haha! I only burnt my coat just a little while doing this, oops! Oh yeah? Well I only burnt my coat a little tooting too close to a fireplace, so there! Just kidding, it actually melted the whole thing to my skin. Somebody just scored a permanent superhero bodysuit! “Who the hell are you supposed to be, Melty-Man?” Melty-man, really?! Try Members-Only Man, jackass! Hit the jump for a couple more and a link to Janne’s Flickr with a TON of different examples.
