They are clearly not dead! They are moving, breathing, they respond, need to feed etc - they are not dead are they???

Why, has a zombie complained to you about this?

I thought they were 'the living dead'...

They're living challenged or partially living Grin

Do they....poo? Because they need to excrete to be a living thing apparently.

Don't judge them to harshly, you can tell by just looking at them that they have ishoos

no no, they have just been referred to as dead on the film that DPis making me watch IN THE DARK!! ffs I just think that to describe them as corpses is wrong and the fact taht they can function (albeit at a basic level) with servere injuries should be treated as a potential wealth of possibilities in terms of medical research. Also, is it morally acceptable to kill them even more, unless of course they pose an iminent threat to "life"

Have you watched 'In The Flesh'? In that they are described as having 'partially deceased syndrome' Grin

also, how do they know who is a zombie and who isn't? why don't they eat each other? I have often wondered this

In the Zombie Survival Guide, it says a zombie doesn't have an active digestive system. The human flesh it ingests just builds up until it gets pushed out of its bumhole.

And now Sprinkledaily, it will irritate me too. Why have I not noticed that anomaly before?

Surely it's incorrect to refer to them as anything but 'fictitious' or maybe 'imaginary'

I think they are "re-animated corpses" aren't they? Cuts out all the unnecessary PC zombie bullshit about their alive or unalive status. Eating brians may or may not cause poo.

They are alternatively alive.

I believe if we are to be politically correct about this that the correct term is now ''The Corporeal Bereft of Life"...anything else is just rude.
