TUCSON (Reuters) – Arizona drivers were warned of the undead roaming a desert highway near Tucson over the weekend, after a suspected prankster tampered with an electronic road sign, police and news media said.

Someone without a good grasp of spelling reprogrammed a digital road sign on a highway near Marana, northwest of Tucson, to read "Caaution Zombies ahead!," the Arizona Daily Star newspaper reported on Monday.

Marana Police Department said it appeared to be a practical joke.

"We didn't get any complaints or any other problems in the area... (and) no reports of zombies," Sergeant Chris Warren told Reuters.

"Sometimes those boxes are just left open and if somebody knows how to do it they can just go over to it, open it up and just start typing."

Thanks for sharing this one, Moe. Enjoyed it.

that would be cool to find a box open....

itd be cooler if there actually were zombies in arizona

So does this mean Chupacabra hunting in Arizona is also a joke?

NO...if you see a chupracabra or a zombie, shot it quick...

It was me! I got some medical dope and went out on raging spree of tom foolery.

soooooooooooo that explains so much about boredinaz06

(runs to hide)

i had a feeling you had something to do with this torgo...did you make a midnight trip to AZ. the other nite?

OMG! I'M RUNNING FOR MY LIFE! I HATE ZOMBIES!

i hate the NAZI zombies... American zombies are ok, but NAZI zombies just suck... I wonder if there are muslim zombies?

I don't know and I don't care for I hate all kinds of zombies. Everytime I see a movie or watch someone play a zombie game I have nightmares.

i guess that is good, If your going to hate one type of zombies, you should hate them all... no need to be zombie prejudice...

Equal opportunities for all zombies.

Exactly!!!

Zombies are cool.
