  |  Zombie Apocalypse?
I know it doesn't sound like something you can give any serious thought to, but apparently it IS a possibility. 5 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen | Cracked.com I hope I stay vegan when I become a zombie  |

Now I realize it's only a matter of time!

I've heard tell that toxoplasmosa gondii is the root cause behind 'crazy cat lady' syndrome. Apparently, it may cause humans to be unnaturally attracted to cats. Come to think of it, I may have it myself, because I do allow Smokin' Joe (my avatar) quite a bit of latitude that I wouldn't allow in a dog or another human...

Cool article, thanks for the link. Personally I think a mutated virus is the most like to result in a zombie apocalypse, if not the obliteration of the human race. Look at the recent swine flu virus pandemic, ok it wasn't as deadly as say the pandemic of the 1920s, which killed up to 100 million people (yes, you read that right see here: 1918 flu pandemic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), but it *could* have been a lot worse than predicted. Imagine an AIDS virus mutating with a flu virus for example. You then then have an airborne AIDS virus. Imagine if that now mutated into a "zombie" virus. Or how about this, imagine the rabies virus mutating into an airborne, flu-like virus. That's pretty close to a zombie virus, and it's well within the realms of possibility. Good job I'm ready for a zombie apocalypse when it happens! |

I think the sentiment is pretty much standard fantasy for creature feature horror movie nerds, deep down inside. They want to put those picked up skills to use. Last edited by GeorgeMagister; 06-17-2010 at 06:05 PM. | |

I've said that re-animation may have already occurred, but the public won't be told until it becomes a problem. As for me? I'm full and ready for the zombie apocalypse. My thinking is that they will just roam instead of run (could be wrong) thus making them easier to kill. Zombieland is my fantastic redneck nightmare come true...

Lmao. >Now, it should be more than clear by this point that our goal is to be responsible researchers. We don't want to create a panic here. All we're saying is that on an actual day on the actual calendar in the future, runaway microscopic nanobots will end civilization by flooding the planet with the cannabalistic undead. This is a very reassuring article. |

Obviously the zombie apocalypse is coming, the real question is how to survive...

If you commute to work on a train or a bus; look around. It started a long time ago. Go with the flow so they dont notice you are not one of them. Watch "Shawn of the Dead" for pointers to blend in.
