Alert!!! Instructables HQ attacked by Zombies! Mass Casualties Reported!
A horde of zombies just broke into our office and attacked!
Many, if not all, members of Instructables are seriously injured. Bilal and the Robot have been taken captive, and are presumed to be infected with the zombie virus. We are too afraid to attempt a rescue at this time.
We bravely fought them off using marshmallow guns and pirate swords, but the tide only turned in our favor when one of the zombies hooked up some speakers and played "Thriller," at which point the rest of the zombies joined in the dance.
We recognized many of the members of Three Rings and think they may have been experimenting with something more sinister than Puzzling Pirates. Perhaps our recent swashbuckling raid on their fortress led them right back to our HQ?
It appears the zombie apocalypse has started. Prepare as best you can.
Update: Maybe we should have warned the zombies they really didn't want Bilal?
Update 2: We got Bilal back! Unforuntely, he returned in zombie-form, so I had to cut his head off.
Update 3: The zombies sent pictures of the robot in captivity! More pictures of the zombie lair and robot here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/grow_power/sets/72157606960332823/
Update 4: Live action video from the event was found and uploaded to youtube... what a horrific day:
Update 5: The zombies have sent their reply video. Dancing, carousels, and brains. This video exposes it all. Here it is: Three Rings Zombie Attack on Instructables

We didn't know they were coming. It was a complete surprise.

Yeah, I would be surprised too, if twenty-some zombies burst into the room all of the sudden! LOL, nice vid!
Hmm, keep them away from the main computer.....no sense having THAT become a zombie emailer :-)
I challenge you to try and get work done when 20 zombies pile into your office! It's a good thing they didn't reach the servers...

Ideas for next attack: - Ninjas - Dinosaurs - Aliens I hate to say it, Instructables, but they kinda owned you with the zombie thing. They even brought food. Their attack was very well organized and downright frightening. You gotta STEP IT UP.

i have found THE De-Zombiefier> mix hydrogen and oxygen to get H2O.one shot on the zombie will get them back to the human form
"playing rock band!! Robot says: This beats the instructable office hands down." You guys haven't been torturing it, have you? It seems like it would be able to play rock band...

Shite! if the zombies danced, the robots just sat there making sad faces?

But no worries! I'm on my way

Hehe, I thought you were trying to put a subliminal message for a prize or something in there.
wtf, was this like a zombie costume party or something? who r these people? who's three rings? did i miss something?
WHOA! EAsT camPUS predicted this! In the mail you will receive something I picked up over there that will aide you guys in fighting off the onslaught! Also, I found someone that would LOVE to send you guys fanmail. I hope she'll follow through!
Pirates and Zombies?*
The only logical response is to send in the dinosaurs.

But if you sent in dinos, they could get infected, and that would be... bad... USE THUMBTACK NERF BULLETS!!! and robots

says:
Yah, don't want those dinosaurs to get extincted or anything.
I agree...send in the Robots....or Robot Dinosaurs!
Sounds more like one of my nightmares, to be honest :-) Substitute Managers for Zombies, and family for Pirates, and you get the idea *sigh*
either that or the rabbit (not shown) that the dino-dog is chasing :-)

BTW: somewhat off topic, but you know that Emergence radio podcast I bring up now and then ? In one section, they use Google as an example of the "bottom up" thinking; or non-thinking as the case may be, of bringing about order and intelligence. Every now and then, I play it in the background when I am working on the computer, just keep the ideas fresh.....I think they have something there.
"The American aid, Sir, it's arrived..." the classic and better Casino Royale - 1967
It's going on the wall of achievement here at instructables HQ. That's that. -bg

What happened to Emiglio with his knife, bullet, and lightsaber. WE ARMED HIM FOR A REASON!!!
He turned soft in your absence. Clearly you were the only one prepared for the zombie holocaust. It is rather a shame.
I was telling Randy just the other day that he should make him an invisibility cloak. He didn't, and now look what happened! :(
Strange how they were all repulsed by the sight of the kegarator. Or was it all tapped out by Killerjackalope?

Or cleaver, whichever Zombies prefer..
Or would it be "whatever" instead of "whichever"...

I think it would be which ever, because it means to pick between a certain number of things; what ever would be used if they could pick anything. But I'm not the Grammar Nazi here.
So dancing zombies took the robot?! Oh noes! Well at least they left you something to eat.
