Top 10 Things NOT to Do in A Zombie Apocalypse

Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater leaves the band

This is devastating news as a Dream Theater fan AND as a Portnoy fan.

Hurricane season? Never would have known!

All this talk about Hurricanes lately has got me thinking.  I live on an island in the North Atlantic, and suffer some pretty unfavourable weather, but we don't get it as bad here as some places a little further south.  Why live in these locales?  Is the fantastic weather really worth the risk?
