Zombie strength

[RosieH]

So zombies. Does a big one (for instance if Mike Tyson got bit) have more strength than a little old lady zombie?

I'm wondering if the strength resides in the muscle and sinew, or if it's all in the zomebie seat in the brain stem.

I'm preparing.

You need to get out:/

[Salsaboy]

Preparing to be a zombie or preparing for when they arrive?

[RosieH]

For when they arrive.

And helpmeoutnow, that's exactly what I'm planning for - so that when the times comes I can get out.

I think it's based on their strength before becoming zombies. So a boxer would be a very dangerous zombie indeed. Not just a bit pile of muscles, but also athletic and speedy!

[maxxi]

-but could possibly be distracted by a bell?

[Otta]

Good call!

Qually, if a sprinter zombie was after you, you could lead them hrough some ribbon, and they'd stop.

Best thread title ever

But on a practical note, play Dead Rising on xbox. You will find all possible defences there. (bowling ball? Dont mind if I do)

And read world war z. And give book back to loaner

[RosieH]

Sold!

[mockney piers]

World war z seconded, one of mynfavourite books full stop, forget the Austen vs dickens debate.

He said their danger ismin the lack of fear and inability to be stopped unless completely destroyed, the battle of Yonkers is a truly scary chapter.

Romero's 4th instalment, land of the dead just starting on ITV4

[RosieH]

See now, I'm a little bit chicken shit, and not sure I could watch that on my own. But let me know how it goes.

All Zombies shuffle side to side and slowly FACT, scary as Daleks

[RosieH]

But they're tireless and hungry - so you can run, but eventually you'll tire and they'll catch up. It's like the hare and the cannibalistic tortoise innit?

[Brendan]

Always with the politics with you people.

Speedy zombies?? Never! They're slow, cumbersome, and they groan a lot.

[Loz]

Sounds like me in the mornings.

[mockney piers]

Not the best of the trilogy, but perhaps the most misanthropic. Is snorky actually George a Romero do you think?

It was a guardianista-slaughter-fantasy-fest

[Huguenot]

Relentless is the word you're looking for RosieH.

However, athletic and speedy seems completely inappropriate. Every zombie I've had a drink with had a hole in the knee area of his/her jeans. You don't get that from being athletic and speedy, you get it from falling over.

[Salsaboy]

So how do you stop them? All the films etc. I've seen involves blowing their brains out. What if you haven't got a gun?

[mockney piers]

Sharp metal rods, spades, clubs, Stone Roses' The Second Coming....well, I liked it. All good for one or two at a time, but it's the overwhelming numbers that do you in the end.

I did like the blind samurai in World War Z who survived the whole ordeal in the middle of a remote field with a sword and lopped their heads off one at a time as they rarely came in more than twos and threes.

[Jah Lush]

Bah! And there was me thinking this thread was about a certain cocktail. Disappointing.

[Otta]

Well I always feel invincible after a couple of those.

[woody549]

get to a place with a lader as the only mean of getting to the top... stock up and prepare then, and just for good measure get a bow and arrow or an air rifle :p

Zombie cows, zombie cows

Incidentally, why are there no zombie animals?
