Now this, readers . . . this is a great prank.  Someone hacked an electronic highway sign in Austin, Texas, posting a variety of warnings to drivers.  The sign, standing about half a mile from the University of Texas, was changed to display notices like “Caution!  Zombies ahead!!!” and “Run for cold climates”.  According to the report from NBC-Dallas/Fort Worth, some drivers found the bit funny (and why wouldn’t they?), while the Department of Transportation was very . . . not amused.

This bit reminded me of GenCon’s annual Zombie Walk, which last year spilled into the Circle Center Mall in downtown Indianapolis.  Imagine if you were a shopper, and this happened . . .

Man, that’s not right.
