Remember, Always Shoot To The Head.

Call me a geek, but this must be one of the best pranks ever and is not even April's Fools Day yet. Some guys (or girls, I don't wanna be sexist) over Austin TX hacked various road signs to display messages like "Caution! Zombies! Ahead!!!" "Run For Cold Climates" and "The End Is Near !!!!!!!!!" It's like something you would see on the background of a Shaun Of The Dead scene

The hackers broke into the control unit of the road sings this monday and, after warning the Austin citizens about the undead, changed the computer password to make it a little harder to change the signs back. Some hours went by before the manufacturer of the signs could reset the password and display the original boring appropriate messages.

And even though some Austin drivers found the new warnings pretty amusing, the city council is not exactly thrilled about it. The police is investigating and the hackers could face a class C misdemeanor. But apparently is not very hard to tamper with those signs.
