PATIENT # 93 - MANNY

Goal: Travel from cache to cache in search of BRAAAAINS.  Visit Geocaching events.  Spread the plague.  Please take photos!

Meet Manny, a zombie who has become patient number 93 in our study of the propagation of the zombie plague via geocaching.  Manny was an exterminator, originally born in a small town in New South Wales, Australia, who specialized in eradicating cricket and cowboy beetle infestations.  Business was slow for him after he moved to America (there are no cowboy beetles in America), so he also had a small car detailing business.  Manny had short curly hair, size 14 feet, and had a pierced nipple (but we're not sure which one, he had three).  Manny preferred multi-staged caches, the more stages the better.

We believe that Manny contracted the zombie plague from patient number 44, Algernon.  Although Algernon was a famed entomologist who specialized in crickets, we don't think that these two individuals knew of their mutual (if opposite) interest in the species.  We do know that they were collaborating on a multi-stage hide that had a stage in every county in Maryland.  We also know that they logged a significant number of caches (almost all multis) together in central and southern Maryland.  This time spent together is, we believe the connection of transmission of the zombie plague from Algernon to Manny.

This travel bug is part of a larger study to take a closer look at how the zombie plague might propagate if the primary vector for spreading the disease was geocaching.  Please visit the following website for further details, and a visualization of how the disease has propagated thus far based on the movement and discovery of this and other infected Zombie travel bugs:
