Following the zombie scare on Monday, dead people kept popping up all over Madison on Tuesday. Or, at least it seemed that way to the Dane County 911 Center.
The center was overwhelmed with calls from cellphone users reporting people lying on the grass, not moving, possibly not living.
Not so. Check the weather.
"Please tell cellphone users that people lying in the grass are not necessarily dead," a dispatcher at the 911 center told Madison.com.
The temperature peaked at 78 degrees on a sunny day in Madison Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. Sunbathing broke out all over town, with people randomly lying down to catch some rays.
The weather is supposed to be beautiful once again on Wednesday, so if you see someone lying on a lawn, smile and wish you had the day off too.

Make sure they're dead before you call 9-1-1 An actual story from my local paper today. (Yes, there are stupid people here - and we have the elected officials to prove it.) Before calling 911, check to see if person lying on grass is deadA group of young women sunbathe on the lawn in front

I'm going to give some the benefit of the doubt and assume since its not uncommon for the weather to be chilly if not down right cold in the Mid-West even in May, seeing sun-bathers threw them for a loop. Funny | |

I heard one dispatcher asked the caller to make sure the person was dead, heard a gun shot, then the caller said "Yes" If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! |
