It’s nice to hear a story that puts the matter of an undead person eating brains into some perspective.
Since I stay at home a lot (well, I have to – otherwise I would be hunted by shotgun-wielding red-necks), I find myself trying to listen to radio, in-between the tantrums and tears of Pittsburgh. Today I was exposed to the often-hilarious (unintentionally so) occasionally touching, and always hysterical Liveline. This is an Irish radio programme that gives the ordinary citizen a chance to rant and rave about the issues of the day. Today, the issue was violence on the streets of Dublin.
The most memorable story aired this afternoon (http://www.rte.ie/radio1/liveline/2012-06-26.html) was that of Aoife whose father called the programme from St James’s Hospital, where his daughter was recovering from a vicious attack, which occurred over the weekend.
Aoife was in Dublin’s City Centre and got into an altercation with another woman, whom she did not know. The stranger attacked the 23-year-old. Suddenly there was blood everywhere and Aoife was missing a piece of her nose. Yes, you’ve guessed correctly: the other woman bit off a piece of it, and is now being sought by the gardai – and rightly so.
This proves that you don’t have to be a Zombie to let your teeth rip into someone else’s flesh: you just have to be less civilized.
