Guys, zombies are fictional creatures, their characteristics change at the creator`s every whim, if you want to go for the "bible" of zombies, I`d say its probably Romero`s story.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
Heartily concur. I think it is absurd that a man who wrote a cheesy (but fun, he's Mel Brook's son after all) book in 2003 is allowed to somehow co-opt the man who created and popularized the genre.Originally Posted by UChessmaster
Why would you want to be in the depression of a bowl? You want to be on the top of a hill, or surrounded by largely open scrubland.

Re. Syria: It will be interesting to see what happens with the congressional vote when the majority of Americans that expressed an opinion one way or the other oppose any military action. Everyone in the US is tired of a decade of war that largely resulted in everyone in the region hating us more.
Plus, we're not that stupid. The American people were lied to once about weapons of mass destruction. "Trust us," isn't the same thing as proof. Fool us once, shame on us, fool us twice, well we can't be fooled again!
My bet is Congress approves it, but even on the extreme off chance they don't (2014 is an election year), the president is going to go anyway.
I don't think that we have to rely on any particular author's take on how zombies behave and move. Thinking about what constitutes a zombie, physiologically and biologically, we can determine what a zombie is capable of and how they act. But we definitely want to give credit to Romero, though even he admits that zombies change from movie to movie even in his works.
For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
If you go through sheer science, zombies shouldn`t be able to do anything they do though. I think going through the guy that popularized them is the best way to go, even if it has a few holes here and there.
