zombies

First, a disclaimer: I do not actually think that there are zombies presently on Mars. But, if there were zombies, could they exist on Mars? I mean, if zombies are already dead, do they still need air, water and food? If they don't need these, then zombies could exist on Mars. I think we need...

I've been watching the Resident Evil movies (1-4). This got me thinking about the 5 main conceits behind a typical modern Zombie film... A zombie bite creates another zombie in 100% of cases Decapitation (or other major head trauma) will 'kill' a zombie Birds and dogs can be...

Initially, I had thought to start this thread on the Science and Technology forum. After all, the answer to my query requires the systematic and rational deliberation that a scientific outlook serves best. But then I considered that this forum has more traffic and that a fresher perspective can...

We are all familiar with Zombies. It is a real popular genre designed to make the viewer feel powerless and unsafe. Recently there has been an explosion of medical pandemic movies which emphasis the vulnerability of our modern soceity. In the bad drop of many of these medical "terror films" are...

I was rather amused by this report: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-13713798 In addition to attack by zombies, people asked about paranormal activity and haunted houses in the city. The enquirers might have been joking, of course; this explanation doesn't seem to have been...

Hi there, I just got done reading Wade Davis' The Serpent and the Rainbow and while I found it a fascinating and very entertaining book, there were definitely parts of it that required high-effort suspension of disbelief. I've read that other scientists have taken issue with claims Davis made...

Haiti's voodoo priests object to mass burials Not seeing a conflict between Christianity and voodou is Santeria. Or perhaps a form of it; what little I know of it is from the book and movie Serpent and the Rainbow which explored real zombies in the form of people convinced they were dead by...

Forget the wimpy 2012 crap; get ready for WW-Z Several prominent scientists (and by that I mean none of them) are predicting a Zombie apocalypse!! ;) I’ve been brain storming what the best weapon would be for taking on the Z-hoards. High powered rifle: until the ammo runs out 12 gauge...

...and am extremely concerned. Why has the government said nothing through other channels? Are the dead rising around us, and we are unaware? What became of the brave government whistleblower who programmed the sign? http://dangerzombieattack.com/

i thought this was a great demonstration of human succeptibilty to the concept of "god"...... see the vids below. basically derren brown takes a group of atheists and by the end of a group meeting gets them to say they believe in god....using a trick in which they close their eyes and are...

This is an offshoot of the thread called "materialists....." http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57934 I am not going to take part in this thread. If anyone wants some background on this question and the implications then the thread above has plenty, spread over 3000...

I've been involved in a few discussions about the inadequacies of the VP's idea of hunter's safety and someone brought up the question (which I'm sure several people here have already considered), "What would have happened had Whittington been the one to shoot Cheney?" Most people agreed that...

I'm looking for articles about zombies. I tried the SCICOP website, and also de Skeptic Dictionnary, but I didn't find much. The Skepdic page (http://skepdic.com/zombies.html) is a little bit dissapointing on this subject. There is more about p-zombies than about "real" zombies ;) So, if you...

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,15739502-13762,00.html Eerie alright. Perhaps they are continuing the creepy experiments depicted in this old Russian footage. Doubt the pic has anything to do with the story, but I thought it was amusing.

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned it. For those who didn't see it, here's what we saw. A guy walks into a pub and starts playing a video game involving shooting zombies. It's one of those ones where you point a gun at the screen to aim and fire. The game is conected by wires to a control room...

I just bought 'House of the dead 3' today. It is a zombie-killing game by Sega. It is an oke game with lot of close, dark corners and with lots of zombies. However it seems it is impossible to save a game. So I focused and engaged in a battlefenzy. And now after several hours I finished...

When zombies attack, do they prefer high-IQ brains, or is any human brain good enough? If the former is true, then would it be a useful defense to act stupid if a zombie attacks, or can they sense my superior intellect anyway?

What if, when he was resurrected, Jesus was a Zombie, and walks the Earth even unto this very day, cracking open people's skulls and sucking the brains out? Maybe this would explain Bigfoot?
