5 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen

what about Shaun of the Dead? weren't the zombies created by toxic waste or something like that? i bet that could happen.... zombies have now become a part of and the zombies in that were being used as cheap labour and game show participants, so you're riht about that aspect

btw earthraep, don't you think (given the age of the series Star Trek Voyager compared to K. Eric Drexler's nanotech lectures) that nano-probes aren't copies of nanobots?

...also, a serotonin inhibitor wouldn't be a rage chemical, but it would induce depression, paranoia, anger, and perhaps psychosis or hysteria. you'd be far more likely to throw yourself under the next bus than bite someones' throat out.

hell, if super-health, fitness and a constant 'on drugs' feeling are the only symptoms of nano-infection, i'll be first in line. Prey was a good but strange book, though.

dude! omg if that happens im going to live on a island in the pacific , y dont we just evacuate evryone to all the worlds islands? or nuke all the zombies?

Nanobots are a copy of the Borg's nano-probes from star trek. They assimilated people with them, essientally turning them into mindless drones (also could be known as, zombies). Voyager's Doctor and Seven of Nine also used Seven's nano-probes, after reprogramming them, to bring Neelix back to life one time, and his body kept reverting back to the deceased stage or something. and rotting, but he wasn't a mindless zombie.

I had to fight a horde of the undead trying to purchase a Tickle Me Elmo. The government apparently only releases the TMX virus around Christmas. Buyer Beware!!!

all i have to say is Zombies fuck ya

Best start on my zombie plan already, now if i can only find a suitable Grif candidate...hmmmm

Every time I signed in __ Bigblackconnect.com __ and there were always many women would talk to me ... It is a funny and interesting place to talk to these thoughtful women.

oh sh*t i think my brain is infected!! good thing i have DFT News to let me know about stoned dentists and nudist smoothie shops http://digitalfuntown.squarespace.com/dft-blog/2008/5/2/dft-news-episode-2.html

Did we forget the Cursed Sumatran Rat Monkey? ala Oscar winning Director Peter Jackon's "Dead Alive?" I'm putting gas in my lawnmower just in case!

the fact simply about parasites reminds me of he book "peeps" you should really check it out, the parasite does alot of the same in it and plus nearly every other chapter the main character pretty much tells you all about a parasite thats real and whacked up as hell. but im serious, its a teen must-read.

I wondered if they'd mention the book Prey. Good read, and the 'zombies' are still smart and all that so it's a pretty scarey thought. Not to mention that nanobots are a real possibility.

Mad Cow is not a virus! Nor is it proven definitively to jump from cows to humans through consumption of an infected cow. But, Rabies, a Lyssavirus, causes many symptoms similar to the 'rage' virus. After first neurological symptoms comes excessive salivation and hydrophobia. Infected host is full of virus, not just in the saliva, but all bodily tissues and fluids, and this is thanks to its long incubation period before first symptoms. The body slowly fills with virus while the virus makes slow progress to the central nervous system. Then the host of course experiences night terrors, depression, mania, and rage. So, basically, you can't stop salivating, you can't swallow anything so its dripping everywhere, and you are really, really pissed and scared at everything. At this stage, the virus has successfully rewired a human's nervous system to do nothing but spread the virus to other animals. A true zombie-like disease. Also, there is only one reported case of a human surviving rabies infection with no vaccination before or after onset of symptoms. REALLY! An essentially, 100% fatality rate without vaccination before or within 28 days of suspected infection. After the onset of neurological symptoms, almost nothing medically can be done.

what a great bedtime story

Finally...validation for the jaw-dropping amount of time I've spent crafting my Zombie Attack Survival Guide. Where will you be when the apocolypse is upon us?!?!

i don't like it. i hate violence. i don't understand why they don't sit dwon and enjoy the peaceful world. surf on internet, go shopping on ebay, make friends online like wealthykiss dotcom.

That will help me sleep for the rest of my life.

I've known for some time that there will be a zombies apocalypse. I'm glad there are people that don't think I'm crazy.
