honestly, i doubt it'll be anytime soon, but Richard Simmons i hope it is, i mean, what's more thrilling than knowing it could all end, fighting against the odds in order to maintain your identity against a hoard that once used to be the people you associated with on a daily basis

pic related, I'm starting to lean more and more towards an airborne virus/pathogen turning us to brain-munchers

i thought this was supposed to be intellectual

I read an interesting article about this on Cracked last week.

Are our lives that dull that the only thing we can look forward to is a zombie infection that we must fight against to bring back our natural biological function of survival?

>>178

yes, clearly.

I read stuff similar from what you read, and yeah, I reckon in 2012 we're gonna have a zombie apocalypse.
I can't wait. :)

i'll be right there by your side, gunnin' down them zombies.

please elaborate on your sources. websites? goverment documents? magical books? facebook pages?

I posted a thread in Lit. but I'll ask here too just in case, because I know everyone here shares interest in the topic.

I have to write a report for my health class, so I thought I might as well make it fun and write about actual zombies. I'm looking for any good scientific literature on the topic. Perhaps anything by Wade Davis. Does Anon have suggestions, or a link?

enjoy.

It would take something of such epic proportions, be it zombies, EMP, nuclear war, etc. to restore said instincts for most people. Sad as this may seem.

Get a vehicle and gtfo urban centers so you don't get infected or die. Don't bother with shit else, grab what you can in 10 minutes and go.

Go to frozen place, get supplies on way, smoke some weed and wait it out. Either you're stuck hiding or help will arrive.

>grab what you can in 10 minutes and go.

I suppose you haven't read the Zombie Survival Guide

I personally believe that there is a large possibility that you could have a zombie-like apocalypse without a virus, nanobots, etc.

Maybe there's the possibility that a zombie 'outbreak' could happen through a sheer sense of mentality, where all thought is lost amongst the masses (which is happening to about 40%~60% of the USA as I type) and the 'zombies' just wander about in a daze.

Then again, this is more than likely the least violent or fatal zombie apocalypse.
