We've been WAY off calculation.

They could do this shit since the 40's...



we need to get shit together FAST

[lttalos]

holy shit, if this is real and they find a way to make it into a chemical process instead of a mechanical one. We could soon have our apocalypse. I just hope I'm not a guinea pig for the gov and help start it.

shit i don't even know what to expect if were fighting retro soviet cyborg zombies. at least there not contagious.

There's a scientist who was able to bring a rat back to life.

just read the article, that guy sounds amazing. not exactly creating zombies, but that is some crazy cool stuff. of course, by the sound of it, he might be the kind of guy to accidentally do it.

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it.

Woah, those videos are interesting, imagine... They wouldn't of been able to get away with experiments like that for longer than a couple years or until it got out to the newspapers with all the moralists and everything. So imagine if they've been doing these experiments secretly(shut up it's plausible), they must of evolved that technology. It's got to be better by 1000 degrees by now, right? Makes me wanna get into the scientific underground and find out these things.

makes me feel all those cyberpunk and zombie novels i read are about to become a reality.
like i said, that was the 40's. simply look at computers, huge breakthrough within 20 years. 70 years of reanimation research! I bet weirdbeard probably deals with this shit on a daily basis!
they probably already have the virus and are just waiting for the opportune moment. I usually sound like a conspiracy theorist, but half the shit i say is not only plausible, its old fuckin' news!

and if this video, despite how old it is, is any hint to what we might have to face, we learned one key and VERY important factor.
They could be intelligent.

High levels of intelligence isn't what I'm expecting but basic intelligence is probable. Consider people who have the blood flow cut off from there brain due to suffocation or drowning. In cases where the victim goes with out air for an extended period of time it's not uncommon for some brain damage to occur. If I remember correctly after 15 seconds of having blood flow cut off from the brain brain damage sets in but wild bread might remember the exact number. If the zombies are dead for a significant time the flow of blood will also be cut off starving the brain of oxygen a good chunk or the brain will be damaged. However if the brain tissue is restored via zombie virus there is a chance that the neural pathways that used to exist will still function leaving the zombies with basic knowledge of stuff that is a part of daily life. For example when you go to to walk through a door way and the door is closed you probably even with out thinking about it reach forward and turn the knob. It's not unreasonable that stuff people can do that requires no significant amount of thinking is the kind of stuff they will still be able to do as zombies. If the cause of zombification only causes action based zombie symptoms and leaves the conscious part of your brain clouded with a uncontrollable desire for flesh then for all we know they will still be able to drive cars. If people on lethal doses of hard drugs can do it it's not unreasonable to think zombies can do it. looking back at what i typed I've gotten a little of topic but my point is they will still have some knowledge of how things work.

so basically, we could be fighting not only humans scared out of their minds and desperate to stay alive, but also very pissed off people who can feel no pain, have nearly limitless endurance, nothing to lose, very contagious, and now can possible work a door or basic weaponry...

Hah, so I've just watched Quarantine. It wasn't as bad as I originally thought, but if zombies are going to be anything like that we'll have our work cut out for us. They change within the hour and are a result of evolved rabies.

it's all a matter of how much of the brain dies or is inhibited it could be any where from sleep walking hungry coma patents to rioters with some speech retention. but if its the latter then I don't even know it there really zombies at that point but more likely humans with a contagious disease that makes the uncontrollably aggressive and violent with a potential to collapse society.

This is really cool! It reminds me of the alien autopsy video though...
