Their own brain is no longer able to create the chemicals required for animation. (Seratonin, dopamine, etc.) Eating brains supplements that. Zombie brain is very basic, craving only what it takes to survive. I believe that they would be very easy to fool. being a zombie does not heighten your own ability to smell, see or hear. If anything thse basic functions deteriorate as the zombie decays. Zombies would hunt more like piranah, being mainly attracted to bright light and vibration. The power of the zombie comes from the horde. The fact that they dont feel pain and will pursue their instinct with no regard to their own safety. Historically zombies only ate brains.

Traditional zombies are basically slaves, brought back by voodoo or some such magic. Thanks to the Great George Romero, he gave us the current concept of zombie. He got the idea after reading a book called... I Am Legend!!! The beasts are more like what traditional vampires are supposed to be. Not Handsome!!! Not Beautiful!!! DEAD!!! or rather UNDEAD!!! Believe me, I am a BIG zombie fan. No one need look any further than the George Romero Franchise. He is the Zombie King Actually, if anyone really studies this, zombies are not flesh eaters.

There are brain parasite that "take control" of the host's brain in order to reach the next stage of its lif-cycle. Could it be possible that whatever infects a human to turn it into a zombie then makes it bite a healthy person to spread the disease? I did always wonder in zombie movies why there are so many relatively intact zombies running around when they are eating the humans. If it is simply a matter to spreading the infection rather then eating maybe they bite anything that looks remotely human, even if it is another zombie.

A zombie is about 4 times stronger than a regular human. And plus they're freakin zombies that want brains , so they will find a way to open someones brain. peace out Well , when you are zombiefied , your physicaly stronger.

I could definitely see this being explained as part of the effects of the zombie virus - maybe your teeth and throat are kept intact like certain parts of your brain while the rest of your body rots, since you need them to keep chomping on people. It is really weird that I've never seen a zombie in a movie without any teeth. (Actually, I've always wondered what it would be like for an old person without any teeth left to become a zombie!)

When I was in a car wreck I was in the back seat behind the driver. his car slid into a tree and thru me forward next thing I knew it was nom nom nom right on the back of his head, he had to go to the hospital where the docter was weirded out by the two front teeth marks going into his skull. actually your half right about the human skull being gnaw proof. the skull can be pentrated if enough force is applied thru the bite.

I love this website. I'd go with Cellcat, though I also like Zoghrob's explanation of the pain numbing effects. This is an epic conversation. I love this website.

You wont even hear a thing for the first 5-10 shots. It works. I would recommend being all sneaky on a roof top covered in a sheet or covered by a cardboard box so the life-challenged individuals can't see me, and just change out your soda bottle every 5-10 shots or as required. Bring a picnic lunch, sun cream and some full soda bottles and you got yourself a fun day out for the kids :) OK, you can silence a .22 very easily, just put an empty plastic bottle on the end of the barrel and fix with tape.
