Q: WTF is a zombie? Don’t you mean an infected human? I saw “I Am Legend” and I know everything.
A: First of all, read The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. You’ll find it in the humor section, but only because there would be widespread panic if they put it under reference. It gives the following (oversimplified) definition: An animated corpse that feeds on living human flesh. The important word here is corpse. A zombie is not a cannibal (a living human that feeds on dead human flesh). A zombie is not an infected human (a living human that, with certain diseases, might feed on living human flesh). A zombie is not immortal (something that can never die). Zombies can not be cured or reasoned with, although they can be destroyed and outsmarted.
Q: Why are you so scared of an imaginary thing? That’s stupid. I’m scared of THINGS THAT ACTUALLY EXIST.
A: Just because you’ve never seen a zombie in real life doesn’t mean they’re not real. There are multiple (albeit badly cited) historical accounts of zombie attacks that were hidden from the public eye, never reported to the authorities, or collectively suppressed by humanity’s trauma. Even if you prove that it’s never happened, theoretically, it could. There are many theories about the origin of zombies, but the most widely accepted is that of the disease Solanum. I won’t go into details, since you can find it in Brooks’ book, but it basically stops the heart and inhibits other bodily functions while sustaining the most basic functions of the brain. Look, if we knew the origin, we could avoid the problem, but we don’t. It’s all speculation. Most people are scared of zombies because of what they represent: death incarnate, the unknown, the end of civilization, etc. I’m terrified of zombies because they can look like the people you love, and because they can’t be reasoned with. I’m not scared of murderers or clowns or rapists because I figure I could talk them out of hurting me. But zombies?! They don’t give a shit.
Q: Are you talking about the slow, stupid “Dawn of the Dead” zombies or the fast, smart ones in “28 Days Later”?
A: The latter was infected humans. Any movie that purports to show you fast, problem-solving zombies who can use tools to seek and destroy you is lying. Zombies’ bodies are rotting continually; their joints stiffen and they lose most of their mobility. Anything else would not be dead and therefore not be a zombie. This is good, because I’m not very athletic.
Q: Why do you watch so many zombie movies if you’re so scared?
A: Research. And morbid curiosity. And I looove having nightmares every night.
Q: Are you insane?
Are YOU? I have researched zombies extensively because otherwise I can’t sleep at night. I’m just trying to educate the rest of you so that when it’s all over I have someone to repopulate the planet with.
im srry but in i am legend i thought they were vampires
in the book they are vamps. in the movie they are zombies.
I think my friend may be infected. Should I try to organize an intervention or just go ahead and put a few bullets in the brain?
Also, can I get your blog in paperback form? Kind of a survival guide for post-zombiepocalypse humanity.
first of all, have you seen the bite? if you haven’t maybe hes just acting wierd. if you have, shoot him.
Zombies are not real. never were, never will be. It is humor and that’s it.
In a way, I kinda wish they did exist cause I could feed you all to them….lol. seriously,. there are zombies because of viruses and there are infected. It might not be so impossible for an infected human (28 days later) type scenario. Rabies could mutate itself and people/animals do indeed become violent and attack others and if they are hungry, they would bite you and possibly eat you and if they didn’t eat you, you would get the virus. so, in theory, it could happen. Rage virus is more like Rabies and probably based on it anyway. And a person with Rabies won’t live long and they do wear themselves out quicker.
your parents don’t love you
there seriosly is not enough brain power left in the world to produce an even Partially dangerous zombie, the few of us with brains either have money or comon sense to save our lifes from the absolute brainless mass trying to get in our house or home
As for fast zombies, I think your over simplifying their possibility. Now As far as time goes when we are discussing the rate of decay; the zombies will only further this process with time, thus at this time running zombies would not only be illogical, but idiotic. That said and done, A newly infected human may be capable of running or even small tasks such as is seen in NOTLD; they were able to use rocks to break a car windshield and later on head lights. Even the little girl in the basement uses a tool to kill her mother. If you’ve listened to the dramatized audio (which I doubt anyone here even knows of its existence), she managed to say: “Hold me momma,” after the reanimation. That is unforgivable; but enough of my rant. The point is, in the very early stage of reanimation, it may be possible for a zombie to run.
baseacly they are real but just not what we think what it is.is humans who are precisley dead they have no brain waves or any activity but they are alive they cant move or anything,but that i precialey a zombie,and so what if they are real becouse you will most likley be on pain for a few hours or mins,i would rather get eaten then stay alive in the attack,lool !!!!!!!
Miss, I don’t know if you have already discussed what I’m about to ask somewhere else or are consciously avoiding this tricky question, but, do zombies poop?
