Hooray! CCP took crack off the profanity list

It's my third favorite site
1. Eve forums! I troll sometimes but really toned it down since my last 6 month ban was lifted (kinda toned it down though as I went down to 1 account and don't wanna get banned again or it's gonna cost me $90 and I have to hide my identity from the evil devs (not that I've ever done that before) 2. Love-Shy.com (really makes me feel good about myself, those sorry sods. I have trolled them though and I don't hold back on that site ) 3. cracked.com \/

I meant WRONG as in screwed up, not as in incorrect.
Though the more immediate consequence of zombies in the Africa of today's world might well be ZOMBIE PIRATES!

Edited by: BiggestT on 19/06/2011 14:58:28 Fun article, alas it does not dispel the zompocalypse so easily if you consider the classic zombie lore..Seeing as it's a slow, Sunday night, I'm extremely bored, and procrastination feeds laziness, Imma review this b!tch..
Point 7-5: Decay, predation, and biochemical issues.
Predation by large animals is not too big a deal considering the sheer number of zombies (billions) that would result; the amount of time avaialbe for these predators to exploit their newly found food source is negligible because (as stated by the article) the zombies will rot quickly thus becoming unattractive to apex predators, even if they are moving around and groaning for everything to see and catch.
The decay from bacteria and insects is less important than one may think. Even for advanced stages of decay, zombies will still move about and attack (e.g. near-skeletal zombies in Romero's Land of the Dead). It seems that zombies barely rely on the same laws that 'normal' animals do. E.g. they won't die if their heart is destroyed, they still move with muscle wastage etc. After all, a satanic (e.g. Romero's Dawn of the Dead) super-virus has killed them and brought them back to psuedo-life, so I don't think typical biochemical constraints are really an issue here
Point 4: Biting as the only vector.
While biting is the main vector to spread the pathogen, the start of the disease begins with something else e.g. infected meat, water etc. Given enough cases and widespread 'first contact', the ensueing mayhem may be enough to get a pandemic started. All you need is a packed dark area (like a music festival mwuhahaha) and the disease could spread quite easily. Given the tendency for symptoms to appear at different times e.g. in Romero's Dawn of the Dead: ranging from near instantanious to several minutes, it could be difficult to track all who were bitten (e.g. went home early from the aforementioned festival and don't feel well...).
Point 3: Day to day damage.
Again, it doesn't seem to affect a zombies ability if it loses vital organs and muscles, see before.
Point 2: Physical Barriers.
We've all seen the hordes of zombies that overcome even the most cleverly constructed barriers because of their overwhelming numbers. They eventually break through doors or whatever to access their increasingly rare meals. As for geographical barriers: again, numbers will help overcome this. Recall Dawn of the Dead where one guy fires 10,000 rounds into the zombie horde but they still just keep coming despite huge losses. Also, zombies are rarely seen alone in these movies and have nothing but time to find a path to whatever isolated location survivors might still reside.
Point 1: Weapons.
One needs to remember that zombies only fall once shot in the head. Even a grenade or .50 cal won't stop them. Hunting and military operations become a lot harder when you have to try and conserve ammo, hit a very small area, have the pressure of death if you miss (ouch!), and that you have to shoot your buddy if he/she gets infected before they infect you (however narcissistic you are, it would be difficult to shoot your wife of 10 years, especially in the face ). In addition, It may not be plausible just to lay waste to everything with bombs and nukes either, considering you might want to preserve whatever human life still remains to avoid destruction of the modern age.
SO yeah, tl:dr..

We may find out.
The "zombie virus" is actually pretty close to a similar brain infection that comes from rabies, even the infection rate is comparable relative to the exposure.
Enough trying to look smart in a zombie thread...
Kill them with fire!!!

2. Love-Shy.com (really makes me feel good about myself, those sorry sods. I have trolled them though and I don't hold back on that site )
So this is pretty telling of the metal state of a troll. Find people even less successful at life than yourself, make fun, feel less of a failure?
Attacking the weak is weak. I guess some folks never grew beyond intellectual capacity of a grade school twerp. I guess trolling is nothing more than a digital tantrum. I hope you are not a legal adult but the societies of present don't exactly force people to be adults in any capacity whatsoever.
Please stop bringing down my species a notch, you can be so much more. Grow dammit!
Instead of being a troll, try being capability. Don't let the information age be a masturbatory experience.

I also suicide gank miners and used to can flip and smack talk those miners too
And if you use the internet for anything else than it's intended use (free pron!) then I say meh to you
Also I wasted millions of the taxpayers dollars training me to troll insurgents irl
Also the mental state of the troll is well known already so I guess the last horse finally crossed the finish line
*Edit: Oh, funny story I learned from the womenphobics. The dating site beautifulpeople.com banned 30k people for being ugly

also, i think the appeal of 'zombie apocalypse' comes from the fact that people want to kill and loot without any real moral or criminal consequences.
