    I think the only way we're going to see the whole hordes of zombies and few survivors thing is if whatever causes it is airborne and only few are immune to it. Zombies would never manage to spread very far if you had to be bitten to get the infection.

    Well, when you think of how quick a flu virus can spread, we would be screwed if it was airborne lol

    depends on your theory of what a zombie is. They are in ancient text, even in the bible.

    Hehe Rage Virus. It seems it make cows into attack cows.
    They even list the syptoms and effects of CJD I wish any of them implied violence

    Would love to see Killer Attack Cows, might be a virus CIA will develop some time
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    There seems to be one thing about zombies that is consistent throughout every incarnation, they never attack each other, why?

    As a biologist who has expertise in virology, this is not very scientific at all.

    That is a good point. BUT some theories suggest they would for food if they had to.

    Because the entire concept of zombie plagues is fictional on it's basis. Any attempt to bring realism to it falls apart.

    Well, I mean. Zombie apocalypse is pretty ridiculous in the sense that most people mean it, but like, you take something like those mushrooms that mind control ants and stuff. You do get like wind blown fungus spores and shit. It's not totally out of the question that a fungus like that could become a "big threat" or whatever. I mean it's basically an arms race all the time against like diseases and shit anyway right, but it's not like actual zombies are ever going to be what's going to kill you. Like virtually no one is going to get bitten, you'll just start showing symptoms and be locked away to get better or die. Like ebola or something.

    If it does go down though, bagsie hiding in ellen degeneres's house. She seems lovely like she'd take you in and care for you, but also like if zombies come knocking she don't fuck around.

    Anyone who believes that crap could happen needs to have their heads checked themselves. The undead will never rise and start eating people...some people will believe anything.

    Everybody knows zombies want BRAINS and no zombie wants to eat dead rotten brain matter. They want living brains.

    Seriously, the one reason I always hate typical zombie end of the world stuff is because it always portrays ever army and even person as completely incompetent to cut it off.

    Like...seriously, what the hell would zombies do to a tank alone?

    Yet somehow, those people become zombies and they never actually end up eating the brain in a majority of zombie things.

    Well, there were those couple cases in which living but mentally insane people attacked people, trying to eat their face off. But that's more like some kind of... mind-affecting virus or something probably. Did they ever find out exactly what was wrong with those two guys to cause that?
