Let's be honest. At least a few of you will be disappointed to learn the "ZOMBIES ON MAINLAND" warning flashed by a Texas Department of Transportation sign on the causeway this morning was a hoax. But apparently it was, so put the AR15 back in the vault and go to work.

While the sign did not indicate the presence of walking dead, it was proof that another type of pop-culture icon — a computer hacker — was at large in the county, according to a 2009 report from Austin.

Meanwhile, NBC news reported a similar hack-job in Houston last month.

Transportation department officials note that messing with their signs is a Class C misdameanor punishable by a $500 fine. And walking dead notwithstanding, pranking around along the freeway at night is a good way to become roadkill.

Then again, these reports could all be the product of a duped media dimwittedly buying the great zombie cover-up, in which case you'll want to visit this site.

And remember: Your best shot is a headshot.
