Time to dust off your Zombie escape plan

Okay, this is just danged funny. I haven't been able to watch the videos, but I think I would have driven off the road laughing if I saw this on my morning commute.

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers. The signs usually warn drivers about upcoming construction, but Monday morning they warned of "zombies ahead."

Yep, we have women bilking the system out of hundreds of thousands of dollars for false babysitting charges. They will probably catch these road sign pranksters and they may do time while our thieves found themselves a legal loophole. I still think this is pretty funny. Can you imagine coming across that sign? lmao!

I know that the prank was a threat to traffic safety, but I also think it's funny as hell.

A friend told me that years ago she was driving on the highway while her husband slept in the passenger seat. She saw one of those "Interstate Ends" signs and woke up her husband, because she thought the road would suddenly end.

I thought it was funny as heck. I can just imagine the puzzled faces! Reminds me of a prank I pulled while I was a teenager on a business sign.

Just waiting to see what happens around Halloween.

It would give me a great excuse to carry a shotgun around in my car, just in case.

Reminds me of the guy drinking to Chicago; he read the road sign and it say “Chicago Left”, so he drove back home.....

As a teen, I learned to break the copy protection on games for the Apple II. I also started picking up some assembly language. One of the first things I decided to do was to change all the text in the games I cracked so that it wouldn't say game over anymore...

By the way, I called myself the Mad Hacker...so if you ever got any games with a "Mad Hacker Strikes Again!" message in them, they came from me.
