One-Armed Zombie Scientist

No, I didn't die, get resurrected, etc. I did take part in the Zombie Shuffle earlier today (more photos can be seen here). I went as a zombie doctor (one-armed, of course) in a labcoat liberally coated in some very realistic and gory-looking fake blood, and joined the shuffling crowds at the Carlton Gardens. It was a lot of fun! Some people had really spent a lot of time on their costumes. We saw a zombie smurf, a zombie Ronald McDonald, a zombie Statue of Liberty, a zombie samurai, a zombie television (you read that right), a zombie Domo-kun... Heaps of creativity!  A lot of the "zombies" got into character, sniffing around, leering at passing cars, clawing signposts or even crawling across the floor. One chap even staggered around dustbins, took out random pieces of garbage and gnawed on them. Admittedly, that was perhaps a little too in-character.

Anyway, it was a ton of fun, and if I can I'll go again next year. Pretending to be mindless is fun!
