Hmmm indeed.
You would make a good criminal defence lawyer. You have the personality to suit. That or a real estate agent.

Maybe it is just you?...
What will YOU do when the zombies come?

A day that will live in infamy.

You better hide, I'll send my zombie horde after you, off-topic troll. Anyway, I rather think I'd make a better one for the prosecution.
Nah. It's him. He's a jerk.

We'll be sure to remind you of it from time to time.
You, a biologist, does not know the difference between a snail and a squid.
Heh!!
I could have said family law. And prosecutors are too good to be wily.
*Cough*
Oh thanks S.A.M. that will be perfect for my mate's forthcoming birthday! I might have to snag a copy for myself!

:shrug: I'm a quantitative genetics guy. Gene mapping. Frankly, I couldn't be arsed if it's a snail or a squid, so long as it has phenotype and linkage and markers. Or pedigree structure.

Oh, if I knew where to get at you, I'd so sue you. Character assassination!
The author also did an mp3 book called "World War Z" which might be worth a listen. Lots of celebrities. Amusing to note that it's Mel Brooks' son.
So now you have no excuse. Bon apetite!
my headphones take care of that
why not just throw her out
One belief unique to voodoo is the zombie. The creole word “zombi” is apparently derived from Nzambi, a West African deity but it only came into general use in 1929, after the publication of William B. Seabrook's The Magic Island. In this book, Seabrook recounts his experiences on Haiti, including the walking dead. He describes the first 'zombie' he came across in this way:
"The eyes were the worst. It was not my imagination. They were in truth like the eyes of a dead man, not blind, but staring, unfocused, unseeing. The whole face, for that matter, was bad enough. It was vacant, as if there was nothing behind it. It seemed not only expressionless, but incapable of expression."
Haitian zombies were once normal people, but underwent zombification by a "bokor" or voodoo sorcerer, through spell or potion. The victim then dies and becomes a mindless automaton, incapable of remembering the past, unable to recognise loved ones and doomed to a life of miserable toil under the will of the zombie master.
There have been some rare occasions of juju zombies temporarily regaining part of their mental faculties. This rare occurrence has only been observed when a zombie encounters situations that have heavy emotional connections to their mortal lives.
There are many examples of zombies in modern day Haiti. Papa Doc Duvallier the dictator of Haiti from 1957 to 1971 had a private army of thugs called tonton macoutes. These people were said to be in trances and they followed every command that Duvallier gave them. Duvallier had also his own voodoo church with many followers and he promised to return after his death to rule again. He did not come back but a guard was placed at his tomb, to insure that he would not try to escape, or that nobody steal the body. There are also many stories of people that die, then many years later return to the shock and surprise of relatives. A man named Caesar returned 18 years after he died to marry, have three children and die again, 30 years after he was originally buried. Another case involved a student from a village Port-au-Prince who had been shot in a robbery attempt. Six months later, the student returned to his parent’s house as a zombie. At first it was possible to talk with the man, and he related the story of his murder, a voodoo witch doctor stealing his body from the ambulance before he reached hospital and his transformation into a zombie. As time went on, he became unable to communicate, he grew more and more lethargic and died.
A case reported a writer named Stephen Bonsal described a zombie he witnessed in 1912 in this way: a man had at intervals a high fever, he joined a foreign mission church and the head of the mission saw the him die. He assisted at the funeral and saw the dead man buried. Some days later the supposedly dead man was found dressed in grave clothes, tied to a tree, moaning. The poor wretch soon recovered his voice but not his mind. He was indentifed by his wife, by the physician who had pronounced him dead, and by the clergyman. The victim did not recognized anybody, and spent his days moaning inarticulate words.

and this is true?
peace.
I want to see if intercourse with a hot female zombie is possible and gratifying... hehe. I just hope she doesn't fall apart first. If it works I might gather a few zombie hotties and pimp them out for 100% share of earning to myself. It takes business-minded genius like me to figure such schemes out. They're also easily replacable if they start to fall apart and deemed unfit for the service.
What?... Necrophelia!? No it's not, they're not dead. They're undead. They will not be able to complain either. What a bonus.

The first thing is it matters where you are at when the outbreak happens. Lets say you are at the bar. Now, you could stay in the bar - but Shawn of the Dead suggest otherwise. I'm thinking if it's possible the, definitely the best course of action is go for marina and get a huge mega-Yacht with a few of the faster cute chicks from the bar. Barring the ability to get to a boat then it's got to be the shopping center basically because you need food + entertainment.
I personally love zombies Fugu-dono how much???
Is the corpse bride a bone-efied Zombie?

Tricky one.
I'd aim to be stealing a transit van.
I'm not entirely sure it'd be useful, but I'd break into the nearest sex shop and steal all their bondage equipment.
Next stop would be a corner shop so I could stock up on food, water, beverages, candles, matches, lighters and cigarettes. Hopefully there'd be a portable radio there and a lot of batteries to steal.
Then, a trip to the petrol station to get a few cans of petrol and fill the van with diesel.
Assuming I've survived all of that, I'd be making my way to a lighthouse. I'd barricade the door and windows. Position large and heavy objects, a can of petrol and box of matches at the top of each set of stairs. Knock any drainpipes I can off the building, so it's smooth with no way to climb. Then I'd set up some kind of alarm system with string and tin cans or glass in strategic positions up to the top floor. I would move all other large objects up to the top of the lighthouse and knock out the bannisters on the stairs so they could be launched down the middle of the lighthouse.
Also, parking the transit van directly against the door might be a good idea. The sliding door would open so that I could get in, but then I'd close it and lock the van.
