The U.S., a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
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?
 
Why would Zombies need human brains at all? Why wouldn't cow brains, for example, do?

Also, why do Zombies always wear clothing that is torn and tattered? I would think that they clothes would have been ok when they were put in the grave, but there they are and the clothes are tatterded? Is it so hard to dig out of your grave and not tear your clothes? Dirt, yse, I can see dirty clothes, but do they always have to tear them?

Well, in 'Return of the Living Dead', we have the memorable quote:

Freddy: "I know you're up there 'cause I can smell your brain..."

Freddy: "If you loved me you'd let me eat your brain..."

Zombie: "Send more cops... Send more paramedics..."

I'm pretty sure that any living brain would do; Freddy's girlfriend didn't seem all that bright, after all.

And most of the zombies, given the choice, tended to grab the nearest living human to feast on.

In the ALL of the movies, the stupid people get cornered by lots of zombies, and eaten. Mostly because their stupid behavior gets them trapped more easily.

For this reason, I would have to say that zombies prefer stupid people, since they're easier prey.

To answer the second part first and the first part second, Zombies must dig out of their graves with their bare hands. This means they must force their way out of the coffin by breaking the wood. This leads to large pieces of sharp wood which tear the Zombie's clothing as it continues to dig its way upward.

As for their need for human brains, this is due to the fact that human brains are tastier. Also, if Zombies ate only cow brains, most people would leave the theater before the second reel, severely reducing concession stand sales.

I think you've hit the proverbial nail on the head. Also, stupid victims are easier for the moviegoing public to relate to than intelligent victims. Plus, the brains of idiots are tastier.

I would have to say that Christens prefer stupid people too, since they're easier prey. That's why Christens prefer lower-IQ brains because their stupid ideas about the world gets them trapped more easily. And if you are the prey of a Christen nut "DON'T" act stupid if he/she attacks you with a bible. Do like I do, and that's say hay look over there some are children learning about science! And they will no longer see you as someone that’s going to listen to their buls**t and leave.

It's a well known fact that the spelling center of the brain is only tasty when under-developed....

I prefer to blend-in with the zombies, but the strategy tends to get you killed at the end of the movie....

I think your on to something...

For a long time, I've had a hunch that IQ is inversely proportional to faith. Your hypothesis, and This data chart appear to be confirmation. THE MYSTERY OF THE RELIGION RIDDLE HAS BEEN UNRAVELED! Mortals, this is our time to REVEL!

It's also a well known fact that zombies aren't REAL, but you can blend-in with the ChristIANs (that for the most part they don't kill you) and have a teddygraham and a smile. :)
 
Geez Marilyn, if I didn't know better I'd say you have some sort of a personal grudge against Christians...

Yes... Yes I do. It's their time to listen to the true nature of things and not hide behind a 2000 year old bible to make their own laws in this great country of ours. I'm sick of the ways that Christianity has blinded us into lies about the world and how we should live it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and prognosticate that you also think Wicca (or at the very least Wiccans) are cool.

BTW Yahweh your Avatar is a pentagram why? Do you worship Satan or is for the same reason my screen nane is Marilyn Manson, a joke?

I've read many of your posts and I no that you don't worship Satan, so give me a chance and you just might see me spell better? :wink:
