Just came across this amazing live blog from the Wimbledon match last year between Isner and Mahut. It was the one that was the longest match of all time, finally concluding at 70-68!! in the fifth set. The fifth set alone lasted longer than any other match in tennis history. The increasingly desperate blog by the reporter as the players toiled on was a joy to read. By the end he had lasped into full zombie references, stating the players were eating the spectators on changeovers and much more.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/jun/23/wimbledon-2010-tennis-live here is the link if you would like to read. I realize if you dont follow tennis it may not have as much impact but there are still so many zombie references, from GAR to Shaun of the Dead or 28 days later (with the author pointing out they were RAGE infected and not undead zombies at all)
Incredibly by sheer random chance the same two players drew each other in the first round this year! Will more zombie carnage ensue? Anyway reading the blog made me smile, check it out if you like
