That is freakin' sweet.

The sign isn't wrong. you have to be very careful of zombies. I just hope they get more specific in the future, calling out the different kinds of Zombies...


BOOMER!

Lol! That's awesome!

The only thing I've seen that almost compares is someone spray painted over a school crossing sign to make it the grim reaper and a child... (Found via google a while ago)

Funny. Reminds me of the time I looted a fallen Stop sign when I was little.

En route to a friend of mine's house, there's a street called Pamela Ct. As my name is Pamela, I have an overwhelming urge to steal that sign every time I drive by. Unfortunately (or would it be fortunately?), I don't have the guts to actually steal it. I know you can get repoduction street signs, but I've always been a girl who prefers the genuine rather than the imitation.

I'm a proud owner of a metal railroad crossing sign that had been on an abandoned railroad crossing (the surrounding tracks were long since removed) which was on the street where I used to travel on to get to my workplace. In my case, when the nearby labor union building was doing construction work on the sidewalks in front of it, I called them and asked them for the sign. Others had asked but they removed sign and pole and I got to it first. Sign and pole weere quite heavy and I had trouble balancing it on my car roof (the string I bought didn't hold), but I made it home OK.

What do nerds have to do with it? All it takes is a lockpick or bolt cutters.

No, the article said that there is a password encryption you have to get through before you can change the words on the sign.

Do you know how password encryption works? It's probably an easily bruteforced system... the password was "candy".
