 KV> Why aren't zombies plausible? Have you ever watched the

 KV> Dead Trilogy?  The was caused by a meteorite that hit 
 KV> the earth spreading some
 KV> chemical agent causing people into zombies and corpses to come alive.  

        Zombies and science don't mix.  Anyone who knows anything about 
science knows that *nothing* resembling a zombie could ever exist.  Zombies 
are derived from the voodoo religion; specifically, Haitian voodoo.
 KV> zombies were to brought about with mystical rites 
 KV> you're gonna have to bring
 KV> along the demons too.  Anyone ever see the Evil Dead 
        Not necessarily.  There's a voodoo rite which is supposed to bring 
zombies to life, and it doesn't involve what we think of as demons.
 KV> trilogy?  It's a great
 KV> example of undead creatures brought about by a book 
 KV> called the Necronomicron.
        I've seen Army of Darkness.  It's a great parody.  I love that scene 
towards the end of the film, when Ash pumps 32 shotgun rounds into an evil 
hag *without reloading*!  That was obviously a poke at movies like those of 
John Woo, where the characters never seem to pop in a single fresh clip.
