just wondering. I dont know if any documentaries exposed this. There was a mockumentary that mentioned that it killed the pain. So what do you think? |
dey gots the munchies.

I've often wondered this myself. And...what's more... if they DON'T get any human flesh to eat, do they eventually STARVE? Or do they just wander around en masse until they find something/someone to eat? 28 Days Later dealt with this, but they weren't really zombies in that the infected people never came back from the dead. They just died when they were killed and that was that. |
I mean they are just looking for a meal right, and they are always grouped so why not munch on each other, after all they are driven by instinct. Heck put two pigs in a pin I am sure if one gets hungry enough it will try eating the other. |
| Boy, you guys don't know anything. Zombie-ism is caused by a virus which reanimates the nervous system in a dead person. If a living person contracts the virus (usually through a bite) the virus will kill the human through the infection of the nervous system, and then "reanimate" the corpse. In order to maintain this state of reanimation, living nervous tissue must be ingested in order to maintain the constantly collapsing dead nervous tissue of the zombie. That is why they only attack people, not other zombies; other zombies do not contain living nervous tissue. It is also why the brain is the favorite zombie meal: it is the largest mass of nervous tissue. The spine is secondary. Other major nerves aren't as satisfying to the zombie, but they will not turn away from it, either. The zombie brain is the infected engine which powers the rest of the infected nervous system. That is why a shot to the head will "kill" a zombie. Geez, I thought this was common knowledge. |
onetime, in band camp, i bit my tongue really hard once, and it tasted like gooooood...mmmmmm... i think zombies are attracted to the freshness of the blood, it rejuvenates them or keeps them going until the burning of the ketone buildup in the muscles begins again... i've always wished they'd do a documentary on that. if one of the living get bit and as they start to die, document the efforts taken to stave off the change, blood transfusions, brain fluid, other types of blood and meat, etc... and record the dying guy's running commentary of what's going on in his body, how he feels, up to the point where he becomes fully vombified... you know, scientists have always been willing to sacrifice everything for science...maybe there's one willing to do that?
