WGAnubis Marrith	Posted - 2007.07.24 23:38:00 - [61] If you examine the classic role of the undead from a symbolic point of view it becomes rather easy to understand zombies: Vampires = sexual desire Werewolves = mans animal instinct Zombies = fanatisim When a zombie bites you, you become a zombie. This is a metaphor for how things, for example, a cause, can consume a people and spread to others. The traditional "zombie shuffle" is meant to represent the fact that while you can outrun them, they are always going to keep coming. The decomposing state of a zombie, thats really just to add shock value. Unfortunitely, hollywood seems to be in the habbit of missing the point completely these days.

I would agree with Hollywood that the point of a walking dead person who wants to eat your brains is "oh **** run away" not "oh look how similar this is to the pattern of fanaticism". - I wish I was a three foot female doll with a watering can and heterochromatic eyes.

Well, maybe not following the pattern of fanaticism, thats a poor choice of words on my part, but more along the lines of the mindless followers of a cause that requires them to recruit others.

Zombies FTW! :P This game rocked hard in spain, thus why I decided to shell out several hundred euros on material, shame not many rpg'ers down here on my city haha "Braaaaaaaiiiinnnnnnsssss" *"The Theology Council is watching ... YOU!!!"* Viva VENEZUELA!!!

Why don't they make more of an effort to run about a bit or atleast a brisk jog? Check out 28 days later - fast zombies in that film. As for why we eat flesh - it's because it tastes like chicken (but you don't need to de-feather humans) What I don't get in that movie is that those zombies only attack humans. Why don't they attack each other? Celestial Apocalypse Recruitment

Trek Minmatar N.A.G.A Corporation	Posted - 2007.07.26 23:44:00 - [78] Ah, Zombies.. My favourite bad-guys! Warning, this post contains spoilers! As to why zombies eats humans, I believe it was answered in the movie Return of the Living Dead. Some zombies in that movie still retained the ability to speak, and one of them said that "it hurts to be dead" and that eating brains made the pain go away. In the same movie another zombie also said that he could smell the brain of a still living person, indicating that at least that breed of zombies has a sense of smell. And I can only guess that a living brain smells different from a zombified one, explaining why zombies don't go after each other and why no zombies appear to suffer from bad eye sight. On the other hand in the movie Tokyo Zombie one of the characters believes he is a zombie, but really is not. The other zombies tends to leave him alone most of the time, indicating that it might have something to do with state of mind. (This is a really funny movie and I really recommend it to zombie-fans) --- My other ship is a Reaper
