Cambodian Troops Quarantine Quan'sul
There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in a small town near the border of Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.

Cambodian troops moved into Quan'sul after Malaria victims attack populace.

The culprit was discovered to be mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rating killing victims in fewer than 2 days.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”

Cambodian officials say that the outbreak has been contained and the public has no need to worry.

General Ary Serey had this to say, "We have obtained samples of this new virus and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all."

US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opposed the plan saying that the Cambodian government holds a great biological weapon and should destroy it immediately. Cambodian officials have yet to comment.

A United Nations team will be dispatched to Cambodia to confirm the safety of biological research in Cambodia.

That's the scariest thing I've heard in a long time!

HOLY sh**!
I thought that only happened in Resident Evil!!

You know in Dawn Of The Dead they said it was under control to. Pretty scary, eh?

Wtf? Living tissues cannot be reanimated in this fashion. This is some kind of hoax.

This is freaken SPOOKY .... This sounds chemical, or biological. DUH, but when you here of this you don't think BBC.. you think world weekly or pravda hmmm..

hey Monkyburd, I thought the same thing, but its from BBC News.

And of course the first thing governments think about is what sort of weapons could be created with it!

Well, I looked at the link Burnside provided and then went to BBC's actual site to variy it and found no such article on zombism. I think its all hoaxtastic!

oh, good point

your right, i went there to and looked, its not there

hey, the post he provided was for Monday, This is thruday, Im back to being scared again

*reads article*
poops herself
*gets fresh underwear on*
*runs around like a nut trying to make an orange conconction of 3 parts Mycotoxin, 1 part Enderotoxin and 2 parts Datura Extract like Scully made in TXF: Resist or Serve...*
ONE SHOT KILLS THEM PEOPLE!!!!!

burnside....CURSE YOU now i have a feer of bugs

Maybe a coverup?




And so you should. Next time you get bitten by a mosquito.. you may be infected...

well isn't that weird !

Yup. I can already see this on missiles.

Could be a hoax or, more likely, a cover up. Very intresting story though.

Thank god I've read the zombie survival guide. Me and Burnside will be safe.

Yes we will.

It didn't get as much attention as i thought it would. What, you people don't care that the world is gonna end!?

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Fooled me for a few seconds. Then i checked the URL.

If you click on one of the links on the page, it'll take you to the ACTUAL BBC World page, the Zombie Outbreak page is a very clever joke.



I had a good giggle.

<<< I'm buying a case of OFF, every citronella candle I can find, and if that don't work, I'll go live somewhere cold. Mosquitos don't like the cold, right?

It's a joke hon, you don't need to go anywhere.

Great! Now you tell me.......(hope I kept all the receipts).....

aim for the head!

AIM FOR THE HEAD!!!

Burnside, we should head the official UM 'Zombie-Squad' haha!

hahah. Nice. I would but you know, the whole moderator thing.

Well, this topic has served it's purpose, i offically freaked some people out. Moved to the jokes section.

Really?

Awww. I'm disapointed.

Oh well. At least it'll be more fun when it does happen.

I often wonder about the media reaction. It would be awesome to experience.

at the same time something bad happens something good also happens lol


o the irony

YESS I knew it!

Hmm.. the High Charity of the Believer's Corps was the only one skeptical of this article's claims....fancy that!

Ah, how fear rules supreme over all reasoning!

You're right MM, you were the only one to doubt the topic. Although no skeptics really checked it, i'm suprised none of you saw the URL.

...wow, time to whip out your guns!

Sorry absinthe, i just posted this a couple days ago.
Merged.

You didn't fool me dude, I remember seeing the pic of that weird fish before, but you sure freaked out a lot of people. Good one!

Yeah, I recognized the picture too. Isn't that the one that keeps getting posted as a "chupacabra"? It's really a picture taken by some guys who make monsters and do special effects for the movies?

HOLY CRAP! Good one, BurnSide!

*giggles*
awww but now what do I do with my Zombie-killing dart gun!?

Actually, Elfstone and others, the original picture was simply a bunch of guys on trucks rounding up civi's.

It was linked to the original site, and since the site has now changed, the picture has also changed too. Coincidence, i wouldn't try and fool anyone with that picture that's just silly.

If this story isn't true then how do you explain this...



Cambodian villagers pick up a decapitated "zombified" head from off a sewage drainage.

You all laugh now, but wait until the virus reaches your neighbourhood, then will you be laughing?

VirusPunk, obviously you are new here and inexperienced to the forum, so i'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

I explain it with this link:
http://www.snopes.com/photos/gruesome/chupacabra.asp

It's an artist rendering.

Ever heard of a fake picture?

Yuppers, that picture crops up as all kinds of things. Alien corpses, zombies, El Chuparacarbra. It should be banned

How do you ban a picture from the web? Once something starts circulating, it doesn't stop until everyones sick of it.

"Take off their hats."

"Popes into a volkswagon!"

lol! Very good.

Although this is a joke, I think there is a type of worm that causes 'Sleeping Sickness' . It lays its eggs in water, and when people drink it, the worms hatch out. It is fatal, and before you die, you go into a deep coma, and the native Africans think it is the work of Zombies. Very interesting disease, I'll try to get something about it.

Actually.. I have seen a program .. a while back on the Discovery Channel that talked about true Zombies... .. but can't find anything on the web about that program...

I will post it if I find it...

That would be the Haiti voodoo zombies. Not 'undead' but drugged into a trace-like state where the victim forgets everything about his entire life after waking up from a short coma, and becomes a slave of will to the one who drugged him/her.

Yes, I read about that somewhere! It is so strange, yet fascinating too.

Wow... for the first page of this...i was freaked out.
Now.. im gona have bad dreams for a few nights like i did when i seen ' Dawn of the dead '
GEE THANKS BURNS!! Ya bully!!
haha,..j/k.... but that was a bit freaky to start off with.

hahaha awesome, it claims another victim!!
And while we're on the subject, part two is posted.

What a story, thank you for sharing.


I read the title of this post and the first thing that came to mind was the movie (& imho a masterpiece), "The Serpant and the Rainbow".

The book/movie was based on a little known drug, (at the time) discovered in Haiti. When applied to it's victims (by inhalation or contact with mucous membranes), it incapacitates them because the drug paralizes the central nervous system,giving the impression of death. (no discernable pulse, pupilary reactions, etc...)

It's a hell of a movie and certainly one that provides a real life warning for those who may consider traveling to Haiti ; don't piss off the locals!


*image edit*

Indeed! While unconfirmed offically, i don't doubt that it's possible. They would drug tourists and use them as 'zombie' slaves on plantation fields. The victim would be in a constant state of mind-lock, basically having no thoughts of their own, only existing to do as they are told.

In Haiti, people eat these puffer fish that turns them into zombies.

Close, but not exactly. Try reading the topic instead of just the first reply, you'll see that's been discussed.
