Transportation officials in Texas are scrambling to prevent hackers from changing messages on digital road signs after one sign in Austin was altered to read, "Zombies Ahead."

OK, it's bad that someone did this. Probably caused a traffic snarl for miles. But despite that, you have to admit, it's pretty funny. It would have certainly lightened my mood during rush hour.

Too funny! I am glad kids are back to relatively harmless tricks.

In the meantime, if you're driving in Austin, you can rest assured: There are no zombies ahead.
*whew* I thought I was going to be up at night worrying about some of you.

OMG! That is TOO FUNNY!

Austin, TX - Home of the University of Texas, which has an awesome computer college. Wanna guess what some of their students have been doing for extra credit?!
