Whats your zombie plan?

[quote name='Rocko']My plan is to not prepare for something that will never happen.[/quote]

From now on you shall be known as "FOOD" to me.

[quote name='PlumesPixie']Like I said, an electro-chemical agent that could allow brainstem and lower level functioning could be synthisized.

Muscle memory is also something to take into consideration. You body muscles would on some level "know" how to walk. (Muscle memory is a complicated thing, and we don't fully understand it yet).

Zombies (of course) won't be like in the movies. That's my point, we NEVER KNOW!!!

It pays to be prepared though!

An electro-chemical agent couldn't provide nourishment, so they'd have to eat something, and if that means you then maybe that would work. But they'd die just like any other person if they bled to death or their heart/brain was damaged and would just as likely kill each other than anybody/anything else if they don't have higher-level brain functions. They would also wander around and bump into things, fall over, and generally be retarded so I don't think they'd pose much of a threat provided you can move and aren't retarded.

Muscle memory isn't actually in the muscles, it requires a brain with higher-level functioning to remember how to do something. Simply because something isn't conscious (like muscle memory) doesn't mean that your body could do it without a brain. Your muscles don't have the capacity to actually store information.

thats why they eat the brains.

Or you could just shoot a female zombie in the head, drag her upstairs and have a magnificent night. :whistle2:$

actually some muscle movements DON'T go to the brain, but stop in the spinal cord. Muscle memory doesn't require the brain. This is common in pianists who learn complicated musical peices that, if they had to THINK about they couldn't play.

I am a classical pianist, so I understand the phenom of muscle memory and the role it plays in my ability to play complicated peices. I have to practice, until my fingers know the music, and I don't have to think about it anymore. It becomes automatic.

And of course, zombies wouldn't last indefinately... They will eventually decompose and stop functioning.

(Read THE ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE, it gives you 4 classes of zombies, from fresh to almost fully decomposed).

I wasn't planning on eating them.

The internet is AWSOME!

well if its a female, that's kinda what I do with females... If I was a guy, it would be different.

I guess I'm stuck making sure I have my handy "rabbit" in my stock pile of zombie supplies.

And A LOT of batteries!

Since you say you're so intelligent, surely you understand the absurdity of this thread.

Playing piano isn't going to save lives, but shooting them in the head and fucking them will. You might die a little on the inside every time you have sexual relations with a zombie, but it's be better than getting your brains eaten.

I have rechargeable batteries.
 
When the zombies come I screw every woman I come across. Gotta repopulate. If she's fat i'll wait 2 weeks so she gets thinner.

I guess you didn't get the joke? (Yeah, and spelling isn't a sign of intelligence. I also failed my first two years of regular High School - yet made Deans list first honors in University - Its all in whether or not I give a shit.)

I guess that, sometimes, absurdity is necessary. If you don't want to discuss the topic, why visit the thread? Just to spread negativity?

And -(See that? I just used a conjunction to start a sentence, another gramatical no-no) - *I* don't say I am "so intelligent" - Standardized testing results and the fact that I have been used in studies regarding "gifted" individuals since I was 3 years old simply speaks to that fact. I had nothing to do with it, it was a simple fluke of genetics, as my mother and uncle are also "extrodinairily gifted".
 
I don't understand the point of this thread.

Why discuss everything you've read in Max Brooks' book? Why not just tell people to read it?

And living on water doesn't work. Not only will the equipment required to keep your city afloat eventually fall apart, survivor pirates will skull fuck you in your sleep and sink it. Zombies aren't your main concern if they arrive. People are.

A hidden island in the Northern Atlantic is the only ideal place since the flesh can't withstand the elements. Of course, eventually you'll freeze to death when supplies run short.
 
simple. im gonna load up on all the weapons and supplies i can ( canned food, can openers, amo , knives, clothing, hand crank radios ect) get together the family and friends i can and go down to the marinas and what not and take a boat and make my way to a military aircraft carrier. if i cant get to them i'll make my way to an uninhabited island clear out what zombies may be there and hold up till the shits over.


my biggest fear though is will zombies do like they did in land of the dead and walk underwater cause if they do islands are fucked. maybe i'll go to the mountains if i can find a good cave or safe cabin.alaska would probably be the best place to go . the dead couldnt move in that cold weather which would make them easier to kill.
 
I suppose I'll contribute to the topic, then.

To prepare for zombies, I would stockpile $800 handbags to smash them over the head with.
 
Best thread ever.
[quote name='PlumesPixie']My biggest thing is how am I gonna keep Lennon (my 4 year) safe? Will I have to sacrifice him to save myself? That would suck.

I forgot that no one has EVER formed a book discussion group in the history of man.

Discussing things, bringing forth new concepts, contributing to and supplimenting the material with my own ideas, and listening to and respecting others ideas is of NO VALUE.

Everyone should always just read the book, sit there and shut up. Never question anything and GOD FORBID anyone do any critical thinking!

Maybe you should do some scientific research on how our bodies function as both electro-chemical systems and electro-magnets.

One of my degrees is in nursing, and while NO, its not nearly the same as a doctor, (I wasn't ready to put in the time on that degree as I got pregnant in my second year of university), the idea of muscles not needing oxygen to move is true.

Um, look up ANEROBIC activity. Muscles don't use oxygen to move!

Muscles NEVER use oxygen to move. Muscles use oxygen to feed their individual cells. Movement is caused by electrical impulses.

You are making yourself look like an ass. Research before you attempt to speak on a subject!

I was refering to something a specific person said about this thread, in ANOTHER thread. The online equivalent to not having the guts to say it to "my face".

This thread makes me sad for America. People are honestly THIS mis-informed about basic anatomy?

People are honestly this ignorant of how our bodies work?

People are honestly disappointing me in their ignorance and negativity.

To those of you who are playing along, and those of you indulging in the thread (who's main purpose was to get people to think critically and use some imagination, as well as entertain) thank you. I appreciate it.
 
Aerobic respiration produces a LOT more ATP than anaerobic respiration does. Anaerobic respiration only kicks in when the muscles aren't getting enough oxygen and results in lactic acid build up.
Come on Mrs. Mensa, stop kidding yourself.
 
[quote name='Rocko']...By what you've typed, it sounds like without oxygen muscle cells would die.[/quote]

Of course, and Zombies are DEAD!

They no longer grow, and they start to decompose. They simply would have electrical impulses moving them even after they ceased to grow and develop, and began the process of decomposition.

Like I said before, dead bodies move all the time. For HOURS after death dead muscles still move based on the electrical impulses STILL in the body.

For WEEKS after death, if you apply electrical current to a dead body's muscles they will move.

A zombie would be the victim of some electo-chemical compound that caused the body to still produce electrical impulses long after the other functions had ceased.

It is really not ALL THAT far fetched.

I think you should bring this up at your next MENSA meeting. I'm sure all those other critical thinking, non-ignorant folk like yourself will love to discuss it. We peons just cannot grasp the idea of zombies.

You could even make a zombie theme song on your classical piano and/or violin.
 
[quote name='mr ryles']I'm gonna build an underwater city where every one can have the ability to spit fire, electricity, and ice out of their hands, at a cost though, possibly the cost of others lives.

It won't be impossible to build your city underwater...

It will be impossible to build it anyplace else

I just don't understand why people can't have fun with the topic and use it to come up with some cool ideas?

Instead of debating on whether or not zombies are possible, (obviously the only "real" zombies are the ones created in haiti using the blow fish toxin - and those are not dead, and do not try to eat brains) just try to come up with the best survival plan.

Kind of like the game "plan the perfect murder", no one expects you to actually go out and kill someone. Its a GAME, a thinking game.
