Do zombies poo?

[BigbreastsBiggerbeard]

Just watching the latest series of The Walking Dead and it occurred to me, if they eat people and animals, they must poo? Except that they are dead and decomposing, so surely their digestive systems don't work?

Obviously this is a very important topic, so I need everyone to apply themselves to this asap. Like, now.

Also, I will attempt to get out more.

Rick and Darryl cut a different zombie up to see if it had eaten Sophia.

In the first few series of TWD, it would seem that no women ever died wearing jeans and a nice top. They all seemed to be wearing long skirts and cardigans, with long straight hair, like they were straight out of a 1950’s mid western family photograph

Surely the "food" would still pass through the digestive system, even if not digested, by gravity, so would come out the other side looking pretty much as it did when it went in? I have never seen a zombie chewing their food properly...

If so, zombie's poo would smell... brainy.

And another thing, how do they smell if they're not breathing?

If there's ever a film, The Zombie Caterpillar, then we'll know....

Does anyone else work out the exits and nearest likely weapon source in a crowded place?

All the time but that's more as a consequence of growing up in a rough part of Glasgow than from watching too many zombie films.

A quick question about vampires! How was Edward able to get Bella pregnant? He’s dead, so I assume wouldn’t be able to produce sperm? I too should get out more

If we take the dead thing to it’s logical conclusion then surely Edward would never be able to fall in love (I think lots of chemicals and hormones need to play a part?) or even move as his brain shouldn’t work therefore neurones and processors would never be able to send signals to move muscles (or however the science works)

The Undead have a physiology that’s a total mystery and unique.

What I could never understand about Twilight was why, if they were centuries old and very powerful, they kept going to school..

vampirethriller - that's another very absorbing question that requires attention. How do they smell (terrible!) if they're not breathing?? OMG. We're being conned. These films/programmes should come with explanatory notes to avoid confusion.

No zombies don’t poo.

They have no circulatory systems. Their heart does not beat. Ergo no peristalsis to make them poo.

Carrying on from why zombies need to eat, the thing I've always wondered is how those that are either beaten to the back of the feeding frenzy or just never happen upon a live victim because they've all either hidden or been eaten keep lurching. Months and months some of them go. How?

Does anyone else work out the exits and nearest likely weapon

My kids so this every time we go into Homebase😀 head for all the tools pick out the best ones for offing walkers safely and remind me to go there at first signs of a zombie apocalypse😀
If it happens we twd fans will all be ready and the rest will be walker bait😁

I suppose the 5heory is only the basic instinct part of the brain is reanimated so survival is the driving force.
Eating, and the senses would be the most important things to them.

Of course without circulation the brain couldn't keep functioning either (unless the virus doesnt need it too) so i prefer to ignore the contradictions and enjoy the concept of a ZA.
and fantasize over Darryl

There are plenty parasites in nature who use thier hosts bodies till they die or even take over thier brains to get them to do what they need to survive so its not that far fetched from reality.

Willow I hear what you’re saying but if only the most primal instinctive part of the human brain is reanimated then why are zombies bloodthirsty cannibals?
Why don’t they survive on cabbages and pull carrots out of the ground? Or catch rabbits and sheep? Wouldn’t that be the primal instinct for food choice?

What makes them think that only humans can provide them with with what they need?

But they eat animals too. Deer, horses, dogs etc all been featured getting chomped on twd😀

they wouldnt survive long on carrots and where in a city would you get them as they would all be rotten very quickly

Got to feel sorry for any vegans that get zombified. They'd be turning in their graves if they knew.

Vegetarian zombies probably wouldn't hold my interest for very long, to be fair. What's with all the snarling too?

In the series of books that True Blood was inspired by, Sookie wondered quite a lot about vampires and erections. Then Bill ( not envy) pressed himself against her and Sookie went all "oooh, they definitely have erections!".

The only possible way I see zombies making sense is if they weren't actually dead (which takes out all the fun of it), but simply very, very ill. I loved the concept of the zombies from The Last of Us.

Maybe zombies don't poo... they just grow bigger and bigger until they become Bloaters and puke up all the undigested brains in a toxic form...

What's with all the snarling too?

And the bad teeth. Never seen a zombie who isn't in dire need of a skilled cosmetic dental surgeon and a damn good hygienist although on reflection it's probably a side effect of being half rotten combined with raw feeding.
