If you consider on ’28 weeks’ later that there were zombies “swiming”and ripping people off the boat. It so it may just be possible that they can swim. And also on ‘dawn of the dead’ after the credits there is a little sketch about them getting to the island and there being zombies there already. Obviously we won’t know until a zombie apocalypse actually occurs.

Here are my thoughts on this matter.
I agree with those who distinguish between “fast” and “slow” zombies. The chances of surviving slow zombies are much higher even for idiot who does not believe in this at all.Secondly, in american culture with all of censorship kids would be the first victims of infection without knowing what the fuck is going on outside.Lastly, our earth is overpopulated and those who run this world(banks) would need to eliminate burden that earth is taking with high population.What is not more effective than “controlled rinsing” of population? That will not touch infrastructure of any government including treasure reserves,military,nukes etc. I would strongly recondite for those who is serious about this keep in-touch with each other… eventually you may need all help you can get…

You left out the completely rational possiblity of a food based infection. Look at mad cow disease and it’s effects. Not only on the infect cow (zombie cow) but the human consuming the infected meat. Also, there are nanobots that are currently in production. I strongly believe zombies will be somewhat of a pesky inconvenience in the future, but do I think they hold the key to our inevitable downfall? No, I do not.

I have thought for some time that a rapid developing form of rabies would be the most probable contender for a real life zombie situation. Though rabies, once it becomes symptomatic, is currently fatal very quickly wihtout treatment, which would mean that quarantine owuld probably not be too difficult. It is a scary ass disease though. Read about it in Africa and it is enough to make you never want to encounter wild animals.

Fast, technically living zombies, a la 28 Days series, are quite possible, some would say likely, in adittion to being, unlike the reanimated corpses, possible. Imagine an inner-city neiborhood. Imagine a dog becoming infected with Rabies. This dog would likely bite several people out of its disease-induced aggression. If this dog was owned by people who used drugs regularly, it could cause a rapid natural selection among the virus population in the infected individuals. if, say, five were infected, it’s likely that there is little effect in one, two die, one exhibits zombie-like symptoms then dies, but there is possibility that one would end up with a rapid-spreading rabies, essentially fast-zombie-ism. In that crowded inner city neiborhood, the infected individual would multiply at a dizzying pace, and the infection could soon start radiating out from this area and sweep through the world.

Remember that rigor mortis sets in a few hours after death, then loosing up, say after anothet 24 hours. This means a fresh dead zombie will move quite fast if it has body control. When rigor mortis sets in it will be slow, or stop completely, until the rigor lets go again. Then its moving around freely again. ;:-) Stiffnes after that will happen when limbs dry out

yeah, but if it is dead zombi-ism then they would likely be suffering rigor mortis. Muscle tone would have nothing to do with that.

Ok im not a zombie expert but i think if this were to happen then the zombies would be able to run, cause think about it, if some huge body builder gets infected than that new infected has all that muscle to run, jump and smash different things. So I think that the “zombies” will be able to run

just to put his out there but a zombie out brake is more then real. i cant remember the name exactly but there is a type of snail that once infected with a parasite, its eyes become pulcating and colorful and moves upwords from safe vegetation and into exposing sunlight. then a bird will eat the snail and crap parsites all over the place. then other snails will eat that and birds will eat those…etc,etc. if the parasite mutated and was transmitable to humans it could easly be spread through saliva and blood. and becouse of the mind control factor like with the snails moving away from safty, its most likly possible that zombies would want to bite or maul humans. but its also possible they would be runners like in 28DL becouse if there were in an instict to eat another human and that was are soul driving point, then we would get there as fast as possible without any thought of self preservation (ie bursting through windows even though you will get cut or bursting a door down with your head).it would probably start with some cross breeding of the parasites` bacteria with some other shit (like sleeping sickness) and test it on apes. hence the movie 28DL with animal rights activist fucking the world 3 times over. and the reacton of the people would actualy be pretty calm unless the government of the virus origen trys to cover it up first….so in other words were fucked more then a polish pornstar.

YES I’m not the only one. if that shit happens it’ll be sweet, just a small one though, where i can run around killing things and never running out of bullets..haha. Anyways might want to add a sidenot of how to kill said zombies. I was having this debate and just making sure i’m on the same page as everyone else. i say just shootin em in the head….let’s review that topic. Sweet fricken topic though…kudos to you, and i’m right there with ya.
