Wasn't this already discussed before? Well in case of a Zombie outbreak, i'll just join the military (however small ours is) and beat them zombie back from whence they came, namely Wal Mart. |

There's one problem with all this traveling... you gotta get through the zombies first. I don't think you'd need much of a military force to kill zombies... I'd join the Canadian military too, since U.S.'s national guard would still be in Iraq most likely... What kind of national guard is sent to fight overseas, anyways... thats just dumb... Wal Mart... I knew it. |

I'd take my club hammer, diver's knife and a spade. Then look for better weapons and get to a safe location, somewhere zombies can't reach. A hard to climb mountain? I don't think zombies can use climbing gear... |

Every disaster in the human history has to this day been possible. If you believe that dead people can walk, you should pay more attention in biology class. |

99.9% of all sub-categories of biology don't involve corpses at all. You don't need to be a genius to know that a body can't walk unless the neccesary organs are doing their job. |

Lichens are real, there little thingies that grow on rocks, unless you mean liches... or maybe you knew what the plural form is and I don't... 
Besides, maybe its some sort of parasite that infests the corpse and animates it? Sorta like a killer hermit crab from hell type thingy... Or better yet, head crabs! |

Since we all know the brain is the most important component of a zombie (because it reanimates with the one instinct to feed) Ill grab my baseball bat go save Amanda and if she's already dead (ill probably kill myself) and i didn't kill myself ill run to the nearest CVS (which is one block away) and push all the heavy crap in front of it. Now thats incase of a type 1 or 2 invasion. A type 3-4 I would goto the armory just outside of the city and pack some heat, run and get my dads truck get some people and put then in the back and go through the city letting then shoot the zombies as they follow me. Now there are 2 types of zombies. The movie zombies and the Voodoo zombies there is a difference. Voodoo: There brought back from the dead by black magic and feel pain, compassion and can express thought. Although the "living dead" some respond to simple commands like "Stop" or "No". Not all of then can speak but a few who's brain isn't damaged can even put together sentences. There weak spot is the same as the movie zombie the head. Movie Zombies: Suggested by the name these zombies and there actions have been added on by years of Hollywood glamor. These zombies feel no pain and have no fear of fire. They usually walk with a limp (scientists speculate its because of bone deterioration) but some have been known to run. There weak spot is there brain and they are very persistent, even trying to attack when split in half. They attack in groups and are extremely vicious to anything living (Besides animals for reasons unknown). Burning this monstrositie is the only full proof way to rid it of the virus. Yea I have tons of time on my hands. Alot of this info such as the zombie types came from a book about zombie survivals |

if crabs cause zombies then street walkers should definately be dealt with... |

I still need that book... but nonetheless, I still think it'd be more probable to be some sort of macroscopic parasite that jumps onto the face or something and uses the copse as protection, locomotion, and a food source. Something very similar to the common tape worm, only larger and in a less linear body shape, with multiple limbs that are used to burrow through the flesh of a corpse and control the body, sort of like a puppeteer. Using rudimentary senses, they shamble along, looking for a fresh corpse to use for food. If encountering a corpse that is infested by another "puppeteer", it will generally leave the corpse alone, since it will already be partially consumed and phermones released by the puppeteer generally give the other ones fair warning that it won't put up with any crap from others. This all changes if the puppeteer is in dire need of nutrients. When encountering living things, it will generally avoid more healthy targets, but if it senses weakness, it will strike if hungry enough. Again, if desperate enough it will go for the stronger ones, but will generally not go after an infected corpse over a living one due to the risk vs. payoff. As for taking care of them, you just kinda got to find the parasite itself and kill it. Generally they will burrow in some of the larger open wounds, but if no wounds are available, it will burrow into the corpse itself, but some reports have been made that mention some parasites on the outside of the cadaver. As for the procreation of the parasite, it just breaks off a tendril and will generally regrow into a full size puppeteer. They are capable of movement out of a corpse, but it is very ineffecient. One can be saved from turning into a zombie by removing the parasite within 8 hours of infection, but the likelyhood of finding it is rare. There, take that! Not from any one source, but rather a bit of a conglomeration of several sources, including my own mind.

Yep not really, there was a 2nd attack on the WTC before 11/9/2001 it was stoped but cliton turned a blind eye to it and never said a word about it |

Thats probably because, he did not want to make the terrorist attack effective at all. The whole point of a terrorist attack is not to kill people, its to strike fear into a nation. Why cause a big commotion over it and start telling people to be scared, that'd be making the attack effective, despite it not being carried all the way out. Its not like he covered it up and info wasn't available to it, he just didn't address it nationally, at least thats what I got out of what you said. But enough about politics, lets get back to the zombies!

Well...where you are living they would probably freeze before they got to you 
And ummm...well...anything is possible with enough imagination...and I can point to some politicians that are living proof that zombies are around...

Or better yet, head crabs! A parasite would need a functional body to make it move at all... |

You forget one thing about movie zombies, Bjossi: they HAVE a working body! They aren't zombies voodoo'd from the grave, they're infected humans. It goes as follows: 1: Zombie bites human. 2: Human gets infected by virus. 3: Human gets in a severe state of shock or false death. 4: Human turns into a zombie. 5: Go to 1 and repeat. About zombies continuing on moving after sustaining heavy corporal damage: the virus/parasite drives them on untill they collapse. And they will, but not fast enough for your comfort when they corner you and you stab them in the guts. |

That is still impossible biologically, but at least much more logical. |

I don't think a virus alone could will a dead body into moving... |

Though the force can, but i doubt viruses could possibly use the force. |

Or a parasitic thing that wraps its tendrils around the skeletal frame and leaves the meat for protection and food and controls the skeleton by contracting and relaxing its grip... |

I think the virus would be more effective because it stimulates the basic need of hunger and mobile skills, thats why the brain is the most effective area of failure during a battle because the virus controls the body through it |

But a virus can't do that... It just doesn't make sense at all, not in the least bit... A parasite such as what I described could make a bit more sense... Why in the world would you want something like that to be more effective anyways?!

Just like the flood, who are parasites, and just use the body to try and infect more bodies and to escape the Halo s and just infected everything. Damn parasites. Though i really don't want any parasites like the flood being found or something on Earth. That would suck a**. A good funny zombie film was Shaun of the Dead. |

A virus could in theory attack a human cell and extract it's DNA into the cell, then it explodes revealing hundreds of new viruses that attack other cells. This is the basic functionality, but can this mutate a human in one piece? I doubt it. |
