""Come take these eyes. I would rather be blind.""

"Interesting little tidbits of flu trivia: 1. The codes for influenza (like H1N1) refer to the the variety of Hemagglutinin & Neuraminidase glycoproteins the flu strain has embedded in its lipid membrane. 2. Hemagglutinin 1 & Neuraminidase 1…"

""Well... from what I understand, if the host is dead, there can be no virus. Viruses need a living host to thrive; they depend on our biological mannerisms." That's why a virus that creates "infected" is way more like one…"

"With true zombie viruses, the zombies are actually dead, in that their heart isn't beating, nor are their other organs functioning (the brain being an exception to some degree). Medically, that's dead. When someone is medically dead, yet…"

"It's not the being dead part that gives zombies "super powers", as you call them, it is the virus' effect on the cells before death that leads to those changes. Also, the examples from Left 4 Dead are extreme examples, ones meant…"

"Maybe he's thinking about stabbing the zombie in the head, which is still pretty risky. That's what I'd do with a knife or knife-like instrument, though I prefer guns or longer blades/blunt instruments because they allow you to kill…"

"Well, maybe a recording of an argument between 2+ survivors about whether or not zombies could be intelligent or maybe a "leaked" document from a government or pharmaceutical agency on the same topic, or possibly a video of a zombie or…"

"I'm not joking. I really do think it is possible that some factor(s) could cause a zombie to retain (or possibly regain) intelligence and that those zombies, if they aren't hostile, should be given the same rights (and responsibilities)…"

"But about what in particular? Why, exactly, do you think so? By this point, I've kind of gathered that you think I'm wrong, and I'm pretty sure that everone else has as well."

"The "other side" is trying to say that we know almost nothing about the human brain works and absolutley nothing about the hypothetical virus/bacteria/chemical/mind control system/rhinoceros/etc. that causes zombification or the process by…"

"Yes, I own a copy, which I keep handy, because it's a good book with good advice, regardless of what kinds of zombies would actually manifest. But what makes it any more right about zombies than any other zombies? The fact is that this is all…"

"The world will end when the world ends, there's nothing we can do about when it happens. Speculating about when it happens shouldn't be anything more than entertainment and, if you feel the need, preparation. But, like a lot of things,…"

"The cake was indeed delicious, but I think fondant tastes weird."

"omm nom nom!"

"According to iGoogle, "undead terror" in German is untoten Schrecken, which is pretty close for spelling a word in a foreign language. Congradulations, thought, unduntenshreck is a word no one else anyone has ever posted on the internet."

"Because I would be sort of nervous on account of fighting a ZOMBIE for the first time and the head is a small target, in this case a small, moving target, and I might only get one shot before it could cross the room and maul me. But if I aim at the…"

"What defination did you get? That doesn't sound at all right."

"This is the way I see it going. I hear something beating on the door. I can do this because I'm in the 2nd story living room, which is right by the door. I figure it can't be good, because it's too early for my brother's friend…"

"What would happen after the zombies stopped coming would depend on what remained from the old world, how long after the fall the last zombie was killed and what formed during the invasion. If a government or government fragment survived, the…"
