    Occasionally I wonder what a football game would be like if played by Zombies. Would be slower, but oh so much more violent.

        @neiltyson should have watched @celticfc cruise past the zombies this morning at hampden. Your theory is correct, slower and more violent.

        @AkelaCooper @neiltyson it could be a brain. It's round enough to be a ball and you know, food.
