I was watching Shaun of the Dead and it seems they had to deal with the viral strain most arer familiar with. Its effects are slow moving zombies, very similar to what we saw in the earliest documentaries. Actually these werea tad slower than most. We have also seen that in the documentary DODT 2004 they decided to show another strain. the one that lets the zombies retain high mobility and are able to run after you until their feet literally fall off and they cant run anymore. I am sure the running zombies used in the documentary are a little more rare and am thankful the outbreak was confined as it was, but it did seem to suggest that we are dealing with a few differing strains of zombie infection. I was wondering what Arfcoms official opinion was on this. (go ahead and get yer IBTP's) |

Rigor mortis is a short lived phenomenom so it's irrelevant mostly. The latest two documentaries show the zombies "learning" or re-accessing past memory. That's what we need to worry about. Most of the people who get killed by zombies either fail to plan, fail to act, get careless or underestimate the threat. Dont be them. |
----Gathering wood---- someone get the gas. I agree Zombies and liberals share the same intellect but denying the true threat of the undead is blasphemy and you will pay. Well as soon as we can get someone in charge of that. Who is the arfcom version of Torquemada regarding this subject? |

Well....... there is the chemical aspect with non killable Zombies (return of the living dead series) Viral infection that makes slow moving zombies (NOTLD and sequels) Accessing past memories and training to a certian extent (Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead) Meteors that animate dead flesh, also contagious (Undead) Fast Zombies (DOTD remake) dehumanization of living humans but not animated dead (28 days later, does not really count) Any of these strains requires careful planning, in the event of multiple strains well, we are screwed

Well whatever, they are, I hate the fast ones. They scare me. ....... We need to harness the slow ones. Put them on treadmills and generate power. That way we can have 1 more source of renewable energy. YMMV  Of course there is always the 'Reality' based shows. We can have Mutual of Omaha's Wild Zombies. or "Frank Bucks Bring em Back  |
I am wondering if CDC has taken heed of the ominous warning and created the ZCID (Zeesid) zombie crisis interdiction division yet. In SOTD it looks like the Brits had taken care of the outbreak rather switly ( good on ya mates ) in American Documentaries it seems our .gov is not as prepared.

Dammnit, I knew I missed one, the easily duped Zombies (Lack of accurate sense of smell etc.) in SOTD |
We can only hope for that strain if a breakout occurs. It may actually be entertaining for gun owners. Imagine if the strain that prolongs mobility hit Emgland? Man they would be DOOMED. |
that bit with the jukebox playing Queen was pretty funny |
I am learning. Most of the Zombies I see drive real slow and always complain how its better in NY. Quite a different strain but so far they dont seem to bite or attack. They just come here and complain about being here.  |

I voted "More". Explanation: The only way I think something like a zombie outbreak could realistically happen is if a highly altered strain of rabies turned epidemic. It would have to transmit quickly in humans and cause violent behavior (rabies usually does). Good news: They go down like anyone else. Don't need to worry about head shots. Infected shouldn't live much longer. Bad news: Crazed mouth-foamers could still probably run, and would probably attack anything that moved. While said situation would not be true zombies, the walking dead, you would still have crazed humanoids running around and attacking each other. |
I'll take whatever SHTF I can get. |
And this is different from the normal activities of those misunderstood and oh so tolerant Liberals how? I think I need to get into genetic research and chemistry to try and revitalize dead tissue, or at least re-animate it, then I am infecting all of the ME China and France with it Sad thing is the ME might fare better, they actually ahve weapons |
