I kinda like the classic versions~
the modern ones REALLY scare me. xD
*throws garlic at gall*

what's your opinion on Warm Bodies, though, gall?
It's a whole new thing though o3o


*throws gall a slab of uncooked steak*

My friend has told me to try watching it for the luls,
but my first thought about it was that, I don't want to think about zombies feeling anything, as much as I feel about vampires falling in love and having a child. O_o
I want to delve deeper into zombie stuff, I mean... it seems pretty interesting... xD

my mom has called me a zombie yesterday, dunno why though.


*throws a knife and a fork at gall* Use that! :'D

Warm Bodies... I want to go see that, though some of the sense it makes doesn't make possible, yet the movie might make it make sense. XD

Old style zombies were actually the dead rising from the graves and coming out, attacking all. Now that became harder to understand how it could happen, so it was made with a virus. An injection. Then, it became more known as the virus lives within us, though I hardly doubt that. But I did make sense of it becoming like a common cold, the flu... etc. The virus will then be airborne, and there is nothing anyone can do.

There are many theories on how it could all work out and start. Though, you never seen any movies or books really on how it last, how people survive, like a future reference. Would there still be more zombies than humans? What other mutations would the average zombie might possibly have? Etc. Resistant Evil is a good example, yet some would disagree to that movie series. Any thoughts?

-rolls around in a sleeping bag-

the whole classic idea of zombies is that they've been called by the devil from the grave to terrorize the living sh*t out of the live people.
o3o

Actually the real classic idea of zombies was based more around voodoo and such..

Why do you say 5-10 years? Sure they are reanimated, as most scientist say, but there can be no sure way of them actually dying. Of course, Zombies are close to humans, their instinct is to feed to survive. Yet, without food they'll grow hungry in starvation. But their system is slower then the average humans body. So if a human were to starve themselves, they have at least 20 to 75 days to live, depending on their body weight, dehydration, etc. If we say zombies are like humans, yet their bodies react slower than ours, wouldn't it be lesser then 5-10 years?

If we follow the 28 days scenario their infected starved after another 28 days without food.

Is it really possible, you know, irl for a zombie apocalypse to happen?
Since viruses keep mutating or what not?
I guess it is, knowing that some viruses could make people look like living dead... ever know about the deadly "Necrotizing Fascitis"?
just...god. I'm not squeamish, but that made me sleepless for DAYS.

I live up north so during the winter they'd end up freezing, then it's just a matter of bashing them before they thaw out.

Ah yes, survival camps and such. You make good thoeries there, Gallagher. I like the way you think. ^.^ I haven't really have had a talk like this in a long time, usually people are "It's impossible, never going to happen, it's stupid." Though, it will possibly happen, just not in our generation or whatever, but people won't talk about it like the possibilities.

Keiko, virus to be this deadly, would have to shut down the body completely, then revive itself.

I wondered about that too, since I live up north as well. Yet, you watch movies and such, they don't give away anything besides Canada being new haven. lol

Not really, we have winter, after winter, construction, and almost winter here for seasons.

So for the vast majority of the year they'd be frozen completely..

So depending on what time of the year they hit they will be somewhat easier to deal with and not be around as long.

D: so gall, what if it's in warm places like the tropical countries? (especially where I live)
what would be the effect?

I just think, it'll slow them down, especially with the snow falls we get, not even someone with powerful leg strength could get through a foot of snow. XD

Unless of course they start to climb and become crawlers, etc.

But seeing how our bodies are in the winter time, even if we know it's cold and stay out a bit too long, we get frost bite and become numb. As for zombies, as we know have no feelings and their brains aren't meant to realize pain, just keep going for food, food of what moves.

They have no common sense, no little person talking in their head telling them whats right or wrong, what's goo for them what's not.

-pours some concrete under the fence-

You do have a fair point but if worse came to worse I honestly don't know if I'd want to survive the zombie infestation...


Really warm places would speed up their decay.

Iron, I'd laugh if zombies were up in Nunavut and Labrador, if you want to commit suicide you just walk outside and breathe in during the night.

See, those place where we are close to, Zombies would then have to breathe. Yet, it is not know if they actually breathe or not? If they could survive without breathing? I think if anything that were to make a noise, they would then have to breathe, but zombies are difficult in that situation. If you were to shoot or stab someone in the chest and they come back as a zombie, yet their lungs are punctured, would they still be able to go on without breathing?

Iron, hun, I didn't mean the fact they are able to breathe or not..

I meant the fact it is just that cold, that someone with no way of controlling their body heat, would freeze in a matter of moments.

True, lol

But take everything in to play, every detail to know and learn. Yet, with our winters, they are getting worse as time goes on and lasting longer. XD

So, in some cases, we would need heat, fire, etc. With none of that, we wouldn't last a winter and nor would the zombies. XD

If it doesn't hit the brain stem they are more likely to survive people just enjoy the fact of "boom headshot" kinds of kills.


I'm from Newfoundland we're born preparing for the winters,eheh..

That is true, and actually the back of the head where the brain is connection to the spine in a way, so more likely to kill anyone and probably any zombie. Just can't really say a head shot would kill them instantly.

They'd most likely survive long enough for their body and/or brain to realize the signals are no longer being sent. Beheading victims take up to 18 seconds before they die after all.

I have seen on some shows, like The Walking Dead, where the zombie has no body, yet the brain is still active and wanting to eat. But I belive that would be because the soft part which is at the back of the head is still there, so not yet killing the zombie, as earlier with head shots.

If you look at the movie Day of the Dead they showed that as long as the brain stem is intact the zombie can more or less function.

Hey, I am quite alive, thank you.

-snickers quietly- That's funny.

Well, all I have to say is, everyone is alive here in the forest of zombies.

lol

-curls up in a sleeping bag-

Awe, Maro's tired... Poor thing.

-yawns softly- So sleeepyy...

Then you should go to bed, my dear.

I can't it's too early ;////;
