It was a bit of a guess actually as there are rooks in the Tower of London and a keep is a tower, rook is also to deceive. I don't get the all deceive part.

Yep, a Keep can also be known as a castle (as in a chess piece), although technically it's part of a castle. "ALL" the words were the same.

A bit superfluous I think - Nice little clue though.

I found this in one our our log files this morning.
This SqlTransaction has completed; it is no longer usable.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlTransaction.ZombieCheck()
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlTransaction.Rollback()
My manager quipped that we don't really need to check for zombies.
But I maintain that we're in the middle of a pandemic and it's only a matter of time, it happens on TV all the time.
Hollywood wouldn't lie to us, would it?

"Double tap" him, just to be on the safe side.

Always follow the CDC's advices...
Zombie Preparedness | CDC
I know it sound like a joke, but it's an fun exercise in preparedness; if you can prepare for a zombie attack, you will be prepared for pretty much any situation.
I'd rather be phishing!

How do they intend to handle zombie deniers?
Or the one who claims you won't become a zombie if you eat enough vitamin C and Zink?
Or that zombies are created by the Chinese government? (Ok, there might be some truth in that one.  )

I added a "Kill Zombies" feature to some of my code last year.
It's helped.

Burning electronics as a server power supply goes to the land of the dead. Great smell on a Sunday morning.
Proved an old theory I had heard. Electronic devices run on smoke. If the smoke escapes, they stop working.
Now, for extra credit, what is the probability that the remaining PSU functions until the replacement arrives?
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

In any redundant system of mode N, where N is the number of failures which can be tolerated and maintain primary function, the number of typical failures will always be at least N + k where k > 0.
Proof is left as an exercise for the student. Professional experience will be accepted in lieu of formal proof.

Murphy's law indicates the probability is closer to 1.0.
(I worked with Murph, he said it was someone else's law)

I have a feeling "Murphy's Law" originated with Ogg, inventor of both the wheel and the buy-4-get-1-free discount. Not to be confused with Okk, who was far in advance of his time as the first dental hygienist.
