Blodd from Zombies - aren't they dead?
Why would zombies bleed? After they died, and their heart stopped, the blood would sink down to the legs, later congealing. if you shout a Zombie in the head, there would be no blood. correct?

Has their heart stopped pumping and are they truly dead?

I'm not expert in biology, maybe the blood could just remain in the circulatory sistem without moving anymore?

Even beef jerkey takes time to dry out. Besides, if you shot a zombie and dust came out, what fun would that be? And, don't shout at zombies, it just gives away your position...

There is a great book that deals with subjects like this. It is called Zombie CSU by Jonathan Maberry. Blood in a dead body doesn't clot, it actually turns into a lighter fuid as most is absorbed by the tissue, which would still make for a nice splatter. You can look at the zombies in Return of the living dead to see how they portray interred(burried) corpses being shot. Most of the time it is a cloud of dust and some fluid which seems about right to me. However, if it is a viral thing the rules would be different. The beauty of zombies is that whatever you want to imagine pretty much goes, so long as it's a good story and within a reasonible realm of reality people will prolley some what like it.

I've never heard of this book... is it similar to the survival guide by brooks (I mean, is it a sort of guide or fiction?)

As far as my knowledge, I believe the blood would clot causing rigor mortis or to live people no trouble at all. Just a frustrated zombie.

This would depend on the reanimation period. If it's slow, the blood would congeal in various places in the body. Of course, the virus could turn blood into the viscous black substance that Brooks mentions in one of his books.

Well, I always thought that the Rigor Mortis caused the slow walk.
