And now...the requisite Zombie Dog story.

Yes, folks, it's true.

Scientists have managed to bring dogs back from the dead! And the good news is that humans won't be far behind!

It's a multi-step process:*

1. Stop the dog's heart, and then drain Fluffy's blood. Of course, the dog is DEAD at this time.
2. Replace said blood with near-freezing saline solution at roughly 7 degrees Celsius. The saline solution keeps the organs and tissues perfectly preserved.
3. A few hours later, reverse steps 1 and 2, thereby refilling doggie's body with blood.
4. Apply a 100% Oxygen mix to the dog, and zap it good with a defibrilator (you know, the heart-zappy thingy).

Voila! You've successfully cheated death for your now very skittish puppy. If you've done everything correctly, no brian damage or other side effects are apparent, and your dog can continue to live as before.**

It's of course not a long-term solution for death avoidance like Cryogenics, but apparently it should be easy to replicate on humans.

I guess there are some future practical applications for this technology. Doctors believe that it may be an excellent way to evacuate critically injured soldiers from the field of battle, or to move patients to facilities better equipped to handle certain types of injury or disease.

Well, I personally can't wait to have human zombies everywhere!

*do not try this at home. Should be attempted only by qualified Mad Scientists and/or Evil Geniuses in a controlled laboratory/secret lair.

**Apart from a possible new unsatiable desire to consume brains.
