Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

Use Death Cologne! Death-scented zombie cologne! Better, at least longer, living through chemistry.

It's well-known, well, suspected anyway, that zombies don't bite or feed on each other and the way they detect fellow zombies is by the putrefaction odor.

Can I just say "Ewww"?

And of course "science" also offers a second solution that that particular problem that addresses the problem slightly differently.

Zombies are dead. They probably don't breath. How would they smell? I've always been confused by this. Further, if they have rotten lungs that wouldn't work anyway, how do they make those gurgling noises?

The whole zombie thing never really worked for me either.

It depends on the type of zombie: supernatural or biological. If we are talking about reanamated corpses, I don't think they can smell. If we are talking about infected humans becoming zombie like, then they could smell until their nose or lungs rotted out.

True. But, we're only talking a matter of days here, right?

Take The Walking Dead, for instance. At the point in time of this season's finale, it has been a few years (I think) since the apocalypse began. MOST of those zombies should be disintegrated by now. But yet. They are there.

Bad, of course.

The perfect Christmas gift for the survivalist who has everything.

And buy another, for yourself. Just in case...

Well it depends on what happens to the body. Some fiction has them changing the body so much the normal decomposing bactiria can't live off them so they decompose more slowly. Others has the brain becoming self sufficent and it just directs the body around until it decomposes.

I know of one movie where the fresh zombies could run, but as they got older they where less mobile.

But then it is fiction, and it makes for a better story if the zombies stick around for a few years.

There is one solution that is constantly ignored. Anyone with a piece of fence and a sharp spike on a pole can dispatch as many Walkers as needed. So any piece of fence is the most powerful protection. Jail cells are also ideal. Ya just need to close the door and you'll be fine.

To be fair there are far fewer zombies in the more recent series than in the first.

In the first series, in the scene in Atlantic City there were thousands. Now you just get pockets of half a dozen or so.

They would explain it away because everyone turns into a zombie even if they died of naturally causes. The recent ones are probably considered recently deceased.

Either way, great show

Agreed, for the most part at least.

Yeah, they have some nice creative zombie kills. Could live with less humans killing humans though.

That's the appeal of the show to me, the breakdown of society and competing bands of survivors

No, but I feel that those kills are less gory (best part about zombie stuff to me is the gore).

Did you see this season's finale? The best kill so far was in that and it was human on human

Noooooooooo don't ruin it!

Good job I asked first! You'll know what I mean when you see it
