Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zombies are not the walking dead.
Zombies are not Inferi, yes, that is the actual name.

Zombies ARE dead people who has been recently killed and basically started eating peoples flesh and their only objective is to do that.
After a few hours of being dead, rigamortus sets in and they start to walk rigidly.
People who are eaten are completely dead, they don't come back to life at all.
People who have been bitten are okay until they die, once cell regeneration stops the virus/whateverthehellitis takes over and they become a zombie them selfs.
Animals CANNOT become zombies, as zombies ONLY go after humans as they need their flesh to stay, well, alive in their own half dead way.
If they do not eat Human Flesh, they start to deteriorate and waste away.
To prevent people who have died from coming back to life as a zombie, one must burn the bodies.
You can also kill Zombies with a shot to the brain.
No intelligent limbs ಠ_ಠ

Did I miss anything?

Also,
LOL WAT WOULD U DO IF A ZOMBE INVASION HAPPENED?

...Intelligent Limbs? that's not possible.
At all.
Who the ******** thought that up?

O. Well, I'm talking virus made, not magical ones o-o
Which movie had zombies holding firearms?

( Hahah, I would get a sword or something and cut down every undead smeghead that comes my way.
Also, Guns! )

If we are talking about movie zombies then there is really only one type. George A Romero created the first zombie movie and its horror genre. Since then various other types of zombies have been made.

Zombies in say 28 day/weeks are not really zombies. They are rage infected humans that can survive major damage to their bodies because they are fueled by adrenaline. They dont always eat the people either just claw beat and rip at them any way they can. They are fast because again of the adrenaline. No dead bodies come back to life just attacked people become infected.

Most zombies are caused by some sort of chemical pollutant or virus that reanimates the brain. A meteor that brings the reanimating is some sort of space virus, much like what happened in the Marvel Zombie comic book series. They were intelligent and spoke and thought like normal. Just ate people and looked rotten.

Okay, I am a zombie expert. And by expert, I mean that I have studied zombies to the point that one would study something in school to get a degree in it. And continue to study them. I probably always will. They're one of the only two things that truly scare me. And as that, I honor them.

First of all, there are many types of zombie. And you kinda have them all mashed into one creation that you seem to have made up. I'm going to correct this for you.

Zombies can be walking corpses. I'm sorry but, regardless of what anyone says, George Romero is the zombie god. He may not have been the first to make a movie about them, certainly wasn't the last, but it was his movies that made the zombie craze what it is today.

People who are eaten can come back, it just depends on how eaten they are. I'd say, according to most zombies, as long as the brain is intact, they can come back.

People who have been bitten are usually okay until they die, but that's depending on where they are bitten. For instance, a bite to the throat will probably instantly turn them.

As for animals, again, depends on the type. A Dan O'Bannon (Return of the Living Dead series) zombie can be human or animal. He's pretty well known in the field as well, because everyone thinks his movies are sequels to Night of the Living Dead.

Zombies don't deteriorate if they don't eat flesh. Since they are dead, eating flesh probably doesn't provide them with sustenance. I'd assume they deteriorate whether they eat it or not, however, since dead things do decay. Also, they'd probably decay faster than a normal body, since they're exposed to the elements as opposed to being buried.

Shooting them in the head/destroying the brain should be adequate to stop all zombie-ness. Burning isn't necessary. And would probably be a bad idea if you were in a zombie infested world. Unless you plan to keep moving. Then, I'd say burning as you go might not be too bad of an idea.


All of that aside, I don't have a plan anymore. I used to have a very well thought out one, but then the people who were included in it bailed on me, so I kinda have to wing it. I'm working on a new one. So far, all I have is: Survive long enough to get to the giant apartment buildings Up in the mountains near my house, and figure out a way to destroy the staircases. As long as I have a rope ladder, there's no need for staircases. Then, figure out what to do from there.
(Additional note: In case of zombie attack, many people use the zombie survival guide as the ultimate source of knowledge, however remember that the book is satire, and has some misleading information in it. I've read it and don't fully agree with it. It was a pretty good read though. Also, none of my information comes from it, unless it's the common sense stuff.)

tldr

Actually, in the time I spent not reading it, I found $5, so I'd say I came out ahead.

Oh, in that case, Day of the dead. I haven't seen it yet, just read bout it.
