Dec 15 2009But What About Candy?: A New Food Chain

Allegedly this is the new food chain. Of course, I call bullshit because anybody in their right mind who's ever been abducted by aliens knows they don't eat people. Jam Blu-Ray players up their asses, sure, but not eat. Now if you replaced the aliens with robots, then maybe you'd -- oh....yeah -- make me shit myself.

Thanks to Jan, who is at the tip top of the food chain because the dude will eat anything.

I love when those aliens cram probes up my ass repeatedly, they can read my mind, so they know just what I like.

Don't aliens eat vegetables and fruit to keep them regular and maintain their glossy skin?

are robots above or below zombies? My assumption would be below because they prefer human life, the un-dead just won't cut it for them

i might be against pain medication but what the HELL does that have to do with qualifying for the olympics?

hmmm I would argue that since aliens are supposed to have giant super-powerful brains, zombies would be thrilled to eat them.
and @ 8, robots would have to be above zombies because zombies would have no desire to eat something that isn't made of tasty flesh and brains. Robots on the other hand wouldn't make any distinction between a living human and an undead brain-eater. We're all meat to their cold evil optical receptors.

@11, its #9, but ANYWAYS, isn't it possible that the robots only value living tissue and zombies lack that. Plus, we aren't talking ipods and vibrators, we're talking killer robots, they might be advanced enough to only target live humans. I think the robots would actually share the top spot because they could potentially live in piece...until the aliens destroy living (and once living) beings and disarm all earthly weapons (and unintentional killing machines).

This is a totally pointless comment

yay, nothing like coming home late and posting at the end of a dead thread while being fed led from ted who said my bedhead looks like i'm from night of the living dead so i took his purebred and slashed his head till it was red and i knew it was dead....
sorry bout that, hard to stop rhyming once you accidently do so.... but i won't hesitate to slash your dog...
anyways, the officespace life is forcing me away from geekologie, but i'm going to keep finding a way to keep coming back till i get the fack out of my office space exsisence and find a job where hitting up rarndom websites at work is considered productive...

@6 Simpsons reference ftw.
No-one's asked this yet; seeing as this is a food chain, why are the aliens eating zombies? Maybe undiseased humans. That's plausible(ish). But zombies? Surely they'd know better.
Also, are you saying that the aliens would leave a tasty pineapple? Maybe a melon? A couple of grapes? Some chips?

@21 when someone comments 'virus' with a link, the general idea is to avoid it, so as to not look retarded. Tough break, but you did it to yourself. Now you know.

Aliens like the Zombies?

funny thing is that humans should be technically listed under the animal classification....
zombies should be with plants, oh...and daisy too :P
26. Amy - December 15, 2009 10:39 PM
What an asshole, this design is totally stolen, which is why the zombie thing makes such little sense:

What about cannibals shouldn't they go above people and below zombies?
28. Rocket Raccoon - December 16, 2009 12:23 AM
Yeah, I agree with the previous two people who mentioned how blatantly stolen this is from the far superior Threadless T-shirt. The original shirt even has a small write up about how zombies have overtaken humans on the food chain. This is entirely lame...
29. lurkmoar - December 16, 2009 6:51 AM
sort of tired of all the zombie bullshit. It's worse than all the ninja\pirate rubbish. Yes.. we get it.. Zombies are ironic and cool.
30. Jaded Icon - December 16, 2009 10:04 AM
@ 30
They are? HOLY CRAP! I never knew until you just told me that they were ironic and cool. I have to tell everyone!
31. Hasabrain - December 16, 2009 10:44 AM
Humans ARE Animals.
Fruit AREN'T Plants, they're FRUIT (the fruit OF a plant).
Zombies ARE Humans ... just undead ones.
That's a lot of mistakes for such a basic chart, especially considering the main message of aliens eating zombies, people and livestock is a new one to me.
32. Ego - December 16, 2009 12:14 PM
Wow that food chain is totally WRONG!. what about vampires, werewolves, robots, monsters (sea & land), and flesh eating bacteria? I think they're all in there between humans and aliens.
33. Ego - December 16, 2009 12:16 PM
@32 this is the food chain. What eats what, not what belongs to what type. Which just goes to show you'd totally get eaten by a zombie.
34. skeletor - December 16, 2009 12:51 PM
i dont know, unless the aliens have some major pew pew i think the zombies should be on top...
just sain
