I know I was a little taken aback when I stumbled across the "Zombie Blog" on the the CDC website last week. I have to admit, while the journalist in me dug around for answers, the fanboy in me could barely contain myself. I giggled uncontrollably like my son in the Lego store.

I mean, Assistant Surgeon General Ali Khan penned the blog himself, so it had to be legit, right?

I first thought hackers had played a funny little prank on the organization. But the blog appeared too seamless to be the work of someone on the outside. Then I thought it must be some kind of commercial tie-in since the feds are in worse financial shape than most of your employees. But I knew the next season of "Walking Dead" was at least five months away.
