AlienSama
do you think its possible that zombies could happen?


i'm talking about something in the form of 28 days later. not
those slow dumb zombies youd find in movies like Night of the Living
dead.
BurnSide
Well, there were no zombies in 28 Days Later. Whoops!

So, no, zombies are an impossibility. However, a disease like the one in 28 days Later which puts the infected into a state of constant 'rage' is quite possible in my opinion.

AlienSama, when you have time PM me. I will tell you all you need to know.

The idea of zombies is almost as awesome as being in a Toys R Us one night, having some crazy mumbo-jumbo go down. Causing all the toys to become crazy plastic demonic bastards that want you dead. So you have to kill your way out of the store. ph34r.gif
HolyDevil2053
with that description, I think maybe those toys r us toys are scarier than the zombies.... can you imagine, all the chains of stores and all the toys in each of them???? PURE chaos!!! unsure.gif

Of course that statement is incorrect, might i remind my zombie obsessed friend of haitian zombies? Its supposed to be about voodoo magick to create slaves out of people - they refer them to zombies and is very real, except perhaps the magick part. They used Tetradiotoxin a substance gained from puffer fish. The CIA have tested with tetradiotoxin for use in mind control programs, but they have failed to find the haitian secret. Look it up on google, you'll be mildly surprised Burnsy.
BurnSide
Ah yes, i know all about the Haiti Voodoo and 'Zombie' potions which put the victim in a sort of state of unconcious conciousness.

But in my opinion, this is not a zombie, just a name. A zombie is a nosferatu, a walking dead person, with no brain function, no beating heart, no breathing, no electical impulses. Just walking corpses.

I believe in the case of Haitian Zombies anyway, the secret ingredient isn't "love." I believe it's years of cultural conditioning. They believe the Houngabs' magic can turn them into a zombie, so with the drugs and hyonotism playing a part, they can subconsciously aid the person who's drugged them into becoming his mindless servant..
As to angry, fast-moving rage-fiends, I believe it's a possibility. Ever been to a New York Mets game?
BurnSide
Seriously. Add beer to a mix of angry sports fans, especially in New York, and there ya go.

There is a book called The Zombie Survival Guide, by Max Brooks. It includes information about surviving zombie attacks, but also includes a whole section on recorded zombie attacks ranging from year 60,000 BC to 2002(probably the last report before the book was published).
BurnSide
Yes, i own it.
It's also completely fictional, and i think it's really funny that people actually take it seriously.

You really think he has records from 62,000 years ago? Uh huh...
Falco Rex
He has records from before writing was invented? He's good. Damn good! laugh.gif
BurnSide
And zombie records at that.
Yup, totally real book. laugh.gif

Fun to read though.

There's also a hell of a lot of social conditioning at play here as well. When society as a whole believe the act of turning someone into a zombie is possible then someone acting out the part of a zombie will be treated as a pariah by the community and shunned by friends and relatives. This leaves them little option other than to obey the commands of the withdoctor (or whatever term they are using).

Wait til Burnside gets his teeth into this topic; Excuse the pun.
BurnSide
haha. Indeed Walken.
Although i find talking about this subject a little fruitless.

Merged with another zombies topic. thumbsup.gif
ames2787
I always keep a stack of old records on standby in case of an attack from zombies! tongue.gif
BurnSide
Good call Ames.
Although we've seen that they're not particularly handy. laugh.gif
ames2787
ohmy.gif

I've just realised! I don't have any records! I'm gonna have to start practicing imitation instead, either that or buy a job lot of Tiffany records, they can't be very expensive!
BurnSide
I think your best bet would be a Cricket bat hon. original.gif

Or a nice, fast Jag.
ames2787
That's a good point. I don't suppose I can get access to a Jag, but a cricket bat seems with my realms... *looks on eBay for cheapo cricket bat to fend of zombie invasion*
moe eubleck
Zombies you say?

We think that this happens when we post on UM too much.

or a big huge axe tongue.gif



well you can also get rid of zombies easily by killing the alpha zombie.

btw where does the alpha zombie come from(besides the t virus. tongue.gif )
__Kratos__
I think the person that started this thread means "Dawn of the Dead"

Sure, I think it can happen. Even science makes a few mistakes every now and then.
BurnSide
What the hell is an Alpha Zombie? rofl.gif
Shakezulah
it is the leader of the zombies. the zombie that started it all. but that isnt true for most zombie stories. you just have to kill them all.

*sigh*...i wish zombies really would come and take over.
Neo2005
I dont think it is possible.
But if it happened i'm either ereviwing my copy of my zombie surivial guide and then going to BS's house or should i say masive military complex
BurnSide
Come with me if you wanna live.
Trust me, i got a whole plkan laid out, just incase.

I'LL GO!!!! grin2.gif Do I need to bring anything?
BurnSide
A backpack, dress light.

My plan involes picking up all supplies so you wont need anything more than something to carry them.
Shakezulah
yeah i would go find Burnside if that ever happend. all us RE fans would be able to survive easily. no doubt.
MonkeyMan
yes we would. pistol in one hand, knife in other...... we'd kill!
BurnSide
We know the zombie secrets.
moe eubleck
Indeed. the zombie nation originated here on UM.

Now we know why..........
