Pirates and zombies, oh my

First, the Minnesota zombies invaded the lakes. Then there was some unpleasantness from the police when they took over the mall. Now there's going to be a zombie pub crawl in Minneapolis on Saturday, September 9. But wait! There's also going to be a pirate pub crawl on the same day! What to do, what to do…

We have a date and time — Thursday, 18 September at 7pm. We have a rough location — somewhere in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. And most importantly, we have the will to party to celebrate the one millionth comment on scienceblogs. We also have an excess of specific venue suggestions. Now we could…

A while back I ran a post-apocalyptic novel book club on ye olde blogge, which was a lot of fun. It allowed us to get our doom on at low stakes. Now I'm not, strictly speaking, a hard doomer. I suspect most of the likely scenarios involve gradual declines in resource availability and increasing…

The ideal solution would be to watch from a safe location, such as the crow's nest.

This sounded quite novel to me, so I was surprised when "ninja pirate zombies" pulled up 4 pages of links on Goggle.

Oh. I thought the Royal Navy was.

But...but...ninjas and pirates are natural enemies!

If you doubt that this is possible, how is it there are NINJAS + PIRATES?

Sure they are. So are werewolves and vampires, but I saw this documentary earlier this year with Kate Beckinsale...
