7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail
Whether they spoil in the heat, freeze in the winter, or get taken out by a human-friendly venue of vultures, a zombie outbreak is unlikely to succeed. Here's 7 reasons why we should stop worrying about the shambling dead and start concentrating on a real threat: sparkly vampires.
Natural predators can become zombies, too. Then where will your living natural predators be, hmm?
Unless there are suddenly so many zombies that they're overwhelmed, those natural predators have other natural predators.
Making them deader by drying them out isn't going to affect them.... Dead is even more inert than frozen...
Then why should making them deader with a shotgun or a chainsaw affect them?
Biting works for rattlesnakes, black widow spiders, rabid dogs, and yucky girls with cooties...
No, it really doesn't -- RTFA. Biting works for rabid dogs, but it's far from an apocalyptic scenario.
There are zillions of them.
This article is about the beginning, so unless there are "zillions" on day 1...
Damage to one leaves another undamaged.
And if each of those zillions are walking into walls all the time?
You can run. You can hide.
Point isn't whether you can hide, it's whether there can be zillions of zombies wandering around.
Unless you plan to make bullets out of zombie finger bones, you're going to run out of bullets before you run out of zombies.
And baseball bats, grenades, molotov cocktails, nukes?
Don't thank God, thank a doctor!
There are no zombies?
You've clearly never been to a shopping mall, or a garth brooks concert ;P
Even Walmart has employed its share of zombies!
I'd say extraordinary claims such as yours require extraordinary proof!
