Or they would be if they existed:

Seems like the BBC are trolling us

Professor Robert Smith? (the question mark is part of his surname and not a typographical mistake)

I want a Question Mark at the end of my name?

I don't much mind about studies into Zed-Heads, the research can apply to many other things.

As weird as Robert Smith may seem i think we know he doesnt study the possibilities of a zombie plague.

 

[Tyguy]

i can't trust anyone with a question mark in their name.

Zombies aren't a threat; just hide in a safe house for a week until the zombies die of thirst.

Or just hit them on the head with a dust buster or something like that.

Zombies are anaerobic and have no need for food/drink. Just because they eat people doesn't mean that they need it.

Professor Robert Smith

I wonder if he is looking for The Cure to a possible zombie outbreak.

What a boring read.

I really don't see how slow zombies could cause much trouble.

Even if there were a lot of them somewhere, somehow... there world is a big place. How long would it take a shuffling zombie to cover 20 miles, even if it knew where it was going in the first place? More than a day? I could probably just jog out of sight and they'd get distracted by a bird. And they're pretty stupid. Most of them will end up falling into sewers and off cliffs and things.

Even so, their analysis revealed that a strategy of capturing or curing the zombies would only put off the inevitable.

In their scientific paper, the authors conclude that humanity's only hope is to "hit them [the undead] hard and hit them often".

:grin:

Just drop a bunch of gas masks from airplanes and fill the air with a lethal agent. The survivors put on the masks, while the zombies, who lack the motor skills to do so, don't. That should be effective.

what if all mass media outlets are compromised, how would you warn all the survivors?

The best thing to do is get 3 friends and a bunch of guns.

Worst. Idea. Ever.

Overkill. You are really overthinking this.

All you will ever need.

Max Brooks' perpetual motion machine zombies are laughable (as is the idea that explosives would be ineffetive, the zombie's brain is just as vulnerable to having shrapnel blow it to pieces or being destroyed by the overpressure of a blast wave as anything else's). No disease, no matter what it is, can overcome the laws of thermodynamics. Zombies have to get energy from somewhere.

Anyway, seems like a pretty sensible proposal, continual attacks to grind down the enemy numbers as fast as possible sounds right to me.

 

[Tarkus]

Some of you people need to read World War Z

 

[bryanf445]

I actually am right now, reading it again. Bored at work haha.

Yeah. I guess you're right. I really should think my ideas through before I post them...

Zombies are not affected by toxins, you fool
