Amazon's game engine: Unrestricted in case of zombie apocalypse
Not The Onion!!
http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Amazon-s-game-engine-Unrestricted-in-zombie-6821762.php
The Amazon Web Services user agreement is a long and dull document -- mostly.
Buried in the terms of service for Amazon's new, free, triple-A game engine are some restrictions about using it for "life-critical or safety-critical equipment," such as medical, air traffic control, or "military use in connection with live combat."
Those restrictions go out the window, however, in the event of a zombie apocalypse, as the terms spell out in very specific detail:
"However, this restriction will not apply in the event of the occurrence (certified by the United States Centers for Disease Control or successor body) of a widespread viral infection transmitted via bites or contact with bodily fluids that causes human corpses to reanimate and seek to consume living human flesh, blood, brain or nerve tissue and is likely to result in the fall of organized civilization."
