Caution zombie's ahead, head to cold climates, and the end is near. So if we all head to the coldest parts of the world then will we survive? And why does zombies not like cold climates if they are already dead and cold themselves? And whatever happened to Mr. Rigamortis, would he had aready set in by now? Sorry kept reading them caution signs..lol

Well, seeing as they have no working circulatory system and no way to shiver or auto regulate their own temperature, I would say traveling to colder climates with a crowbar would be the safest thing to do. They would freeze solid while chasing you (keeps your body temp up) then all you would have to do is shatter them with the crowbar.

The reason Zombies don't suffer from Mr. Mortis is that they already have! Paradox? Why yes, yes it is! Think about it, what usually comes after Rigors? That's right, decomposition! The muscle tissue starts to decompose making the zombie flexible again.

ForgSplash is correct, on the undead part. When it comes to determining life, medical science agrees that life is over when the brain stops functioning, there is irreversible damage to the brain that it is unable to function, or when the person starts hanging out at MFK and spouting off here about how many MBU's they have in their 100 gallon tank. What causes the dead to become undead is a mystery, but researchers have isolated the virus cortexia premotori as a possible cause. Cortexia premotori is a virus that lies dormant in the base of cranial nerve X while the subject is awake but becomes active after the late stages of rigormortis is detected. Once it becomes active it travels down the central canal of the spinal cord. It's main mechinism of action is causes an electrical conduction, that originates in the gray matter of the cord and down hereto unknown nerve pathways, the "Z" Axons, in to muscle tissue causing the "undead" symptoms. Once the electrical impulse is generated the virus dies and a new one travels from the brain and the process starts anew. This happens in the speed that impulses originally traveled from the brain, causing an animated like state of the "undead"

:ROFL2: OMG now dad, you either are a very good expert on zombies or you watch wayyyyy too much zombie movies.....LOL!!! But now I have some ideas about surviving against a zombie invasion. I have a semi-auto .45 handgun with about 100 rds of ammo, a chainsaw, weedeater that I could attach a large sawblade on the end, garlic (no wait thats for an vampire invasion), ummm went blank... But anyways dad that was well put..lol. Sorry Srkoe for hijackin your thread. But those GSP's are looking awesome and you have done an awesome job with them. I bet if they could talk, they would thank you for saving them.

Firstly, to the zombie hijackers (hey, Ive never gotten to say that before) just remember, aim for the head! :D Also, a shotgun does a lot more damage than a little 9mm, unless youre an expert shot. Try using a Colt .45 though! And if you can get your hands on an RPG, burn baby burn! lol.

To Srkoe!: Love your tank its looking great! lol I notice that both my puffers are never happy at the same time. One is always crusing, hunting or sleeping, while the other is glass-surfing. They switch up at alternating times during the day. Well, thats not always true. Its cute when they hang out with each other.
