Slow Zombies or Fast Zombies?

Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. There is no spoon. Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Uri Geller shits on you. I win.

On the Stephen King thing...never been a fan, though I did enjoy a number of the books he wrote under the Richard Bachman pseudonym. While 'The Running Man' was a decent enough 80's Arnold movie (racking up big points for using ultra awesome Richard Dawson as basically an asshole version of himself), the book was really, really good and far more entertaining.

Oh, and I do like a few of the King movies. A few, anyway.

Uri Geller's a fraud. Johnny Carson, of all people, proved it.

That's just one dudes' opinion... and it's fundamentally wrong because there are no such thing as 'actual' zombies

Zombiology?

So if Zombi-ism isn't a virus, how come in the old school zombie movies everybody gets 'infected' from a zombie bite?
For example I should be able to withstand a chomp in the arm or shoulder with just the normal accompanying blood loss and pain...


Curious, hmmm...

If everyone in old school movies who became a zombie got infected only by a bite, then how can buried corpses get infected? It's been shown and told in the early movies that "the dead are rising from their graves".

pssst, I'm supporting your side of this issue....it's a leading question, go with it ok?

I could list a number of movies where the protagonists avoided getting bitten to become zombies, and these were the 'slow' zombie movies.And the current TV series Walking Dead

So I ask again ladies and gentlemen of the jury - If the zombies in the movie 28 Days were not real zombies and the product of a virus, how come in the slow zombie movies people are getting infected by bites as well?


*DGX, In the Romero movies, I believe in the third one...they mentioned there was a toxic spill.Yet another catalyst for zombie-ism.

I have a BA, it stands for Bullshit Artist, I think that makes me plenty qualifies to speak on the merits of zombies

If a girl swallowed your sperm after a blowjob and you were a zombie, would she contract zombie-ism as well?

[Godfather]

Generally no. Zombies would shoot dry blanks, as their liquids are congealed from their hearts having stopped and pumping no liquids.

But teeth should be used very sparingly, as flesh is likely to dislodge and ingestion could lead to infection

Shame... who doesn't like a little teeth
