DeadBurgerKing (10) Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Just as the topic says...Do you? I totally believe they're real...I mean they are the most realistic horror monster if you think about it...and the Zombie Survival Guide makes some clear and very valid points...and with the government and scientists playing god...you know they're going to screw up eventually, I mean screwing up is a part of experiments and science...and the crazy things I've been hearing about, raising a mouse with a human ear growing oin it's back and cross fusing a grass hopper and a scorpion ( like thats smart, remember how the killer bees were introduced to the world...) So...creating some sort of virus that would reanimate the body for some sort of bio-weapon is NOT out side the government's morals...(What morals, actually) Then there's outside radiation and chemicals, like satalites going outside our atmosphere into othere planets...we don't know what kind of radiation or micro-organism habit those other planets, then they eventually make it back to our atmosphere and burn up in the entry miles above the ground scattering anything miles and miles apart... Whos not to say it couldn't, if it hasn't allready,happen?
BrassFusion Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 I'm to say it couldn't happen because reanimated tissue needs a brain to control it. If the brain functions once reanimated (by any means), you'll have anywhere from a smart person wondering why they're awake and all decomposed to a bumbling retard who can't even walk around (sorry dbk, lol). There's no "virus" so far for bloodlust. And decomposed tissue would definitely be weaker than yours or mine. You should wikipedia zombies for the origins of the myth. Truth is always stranger than fiction, anyway...
Steven Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 arent most zombies the ones who are ruled by Pop culture and assume their roles as dictated by society? oh yeah, they definately exist
Homicidalheathen Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 I think its a myth....and that its the plant compounds or some fish thing they use to make their victims bodily funtions slow to a point where they are undetectable and your paralized....but not dead sort of like in Romeo and Julliet. The reason they still seem like Zombies when they come out of it and are dug back up is probably some sort of brain damage caused by the compounds. http://science.howstuffworks.com/zombie.htm/printable http://death.monstrous.com/origin_of_zombies.htm#scientific
Nevaeh Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 all i know is...that when the zombie apocalypse goes down...i'm so prepared. i love the zombie survival guide but seriously...even though it wouldn't be like the zombies of the movies...i do believe that someday the government/scientists are going to screw up and create something that will cause zombie like happenings or some kind of crazy epidemic

pharoh Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 if they do I'm shootin the ones that come down my street.... dude, get to me as soon as you can, I got the guns and ammo.....laura can come too I guess Can't forget Mark either, I need someone else who I know is a crack shot Ddited cause I forgot Mark...
BrassFusion Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 dude, get to me as soon as you can, I got the guns and ammo.....laura can come too I guess Can't forget Mark either, I need someone else who I know is a crack shot Ddited cause I forgot Mark... i'd suggest regular DGN range practice in the event of a zombie apocalypse, but that strikes me way too much as a militia. heh. i'll do shotguns or pistols i guess
Dollardave Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 all i know is...that when the zombie apocalypse goes down...i'm so prepared. i love the zombie survival guide but seriously...even though it wouldn't be like the zombies of the movies...i do believe that someday the government/scientists are going to screw up and create something that will cause zombie like happenings or some kind of crazy epidemic You're so silly. How are you prepared for zombies. Out of curiousity if u seen a hot zombie and had sex with them would it still be considered necrophilia?
pharoh Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 i'd suggest regular DGN range practice in the event of a zombie apocalypse, but that strikes me way too much as a militia. heh. i'll do shotguns or pistols i guess For ppl like myself, no practice is needed, just let me at em
pharoh Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Well pistols are for close range only, those are your last resort, not to mention if you get one that bites you you have to put a bullet in your own head We could go to a mall! Wait a minute......this is sounding wayyyy to familiar for some reason
Klaus Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Well pistols are for close range only, those are your last resort, not to mention if you get one that bites you you have to put a bullet in your own head We could go to a mall! Wait a minute......this is sounding wayyyy to familiar for some reason lol if we do, I call the store labeled "rippers blades" or ill be happy with the hardware store. Ive always for some fucked up reason wished that the whole zombie resident evil/dead rising thing would happen just so i can run around and kill some zombies but since i doubt itll ever happen (at least anytime soon) im gonna have to put my dream on hold.... Weellcome! What r ya buyin? What r ya sellin? Stranger, stranger now THATS a weapon.... Hehe come back anytime! totally if the zombie thing happened we would all be running around and run into a random salesman who sells us tactical vests and larger atache cases. haha Zombies, come now. I'm ready! well i hav no guns, but i have swords that MIGHT help.... a little... :fear
Zenji Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Anyone or anything with a vegetative mind coudl be considered a zombie. There doesn't have to be reanimated flesh or anything involving true death. Zombies are just the product of a body (usually corpselike due to lack of proper nutrition as the vegetative brain cannot comprehend nutrition) that is fueled by a vegetative or extremely broken mind. Many folks in comas, brain damage and stuff like that could be considered zombies. I think it's highly unlikely that such could become epidemic at all. Back in the old days anyone who sleepwalked was considered a zombie. a lot of sleepwalkers or others sufferers of catatonia will move and act under limited consciousness. This applies also to peole hypnotized back in the day. That's why most zombies are linked to some wierd hoodoo alchemy and shit.
Nevaeh Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 You're so silly. How are you prepared for zombies. Out of curiousity if u seen a hot zombie and had sex with them would it still be considered necrophilia? dude...i've read all the books, watched all the movies, i'm awesome with a blunt object or even a gun....i'm soooo prepared. i've had dreams about a zombie apocalypse....i think i actually used to want it to happen just so i could go all survivalist. as far as sex with a zombie...it happened in this one book i read called The Rising...it was quite disturbing.
phee Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 I could make some joke here about sex with zombies and x's of mine... but ... yeah

Truth is always stranger than fiction, anyway... Exactly. The brain is a very very delicate organ, easily damaged and nearly impossible to repair. No way could a dead body and dead brain get up and move. Sad, really. I'd like to shoot me some zombies too. Guess I'll have to stick to my PS2.
AntiHero Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 About fucking time we've seen some zombies. I bought a nice 12 ga. in January and I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Oh. I mean. Yeah I believe in the idea of zombies, as in I believe JuJu zombies. The type associated with voodoo. Way creepy.
phee Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 The problem with guns and zombies is that guns run out... I like the hardware store idea... or a lot of training with a sharp Katana...
odims_sphere Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 A mall seemed to work out really well in dawn of the dead.
Nevaeh Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 i work in the Briarwood Mall...got my own store keys and such..so yeah...in case of a Zombie break out...i know where i'm heading
odims_sphere Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I'd be the guy on the roof of the gun store.
Klaus Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 i work in the Briarwood Mall...got my own store keys and such..so yeah...in case of a Zombie break out...i know where i'm heading Well just let me have the keys to.. umm... *thinks what briarwood has in the way of damaging to zombies* Sears!!! ill be happy there. they have power tools! HOORAY for Craftsman!

Truth is always stranger than fiction, anyway... Well...they certainly wouldnt be walking around arms streched out moaning "brains"...but say something causes the electric currents in the deceased brain that makes hair grow to spread to the nervous system and "reanimates" the body? it's possible...remember the sceience project of hooking up a dead frog to a battery to make it jump?
