Zombies In Miami
 

A new form of LSD is causing people to act in a manner similar to zombies. There have been 4 such attacks.

If by "new form of LSD" you mean "PCP", I'm not surprised. People go fucking crazy on that shit... especially in Florida.

Mostly it's that people in Florida already are bat-shit crazy, so adding PCP to it takes you to the next level, which is apparently Zombie.

Holy hell. To the emergency supplies, Robin..

That knife needs to be on the end of a 6 foot long pole.

My weapon would have to be a gun or something that keeps me 20' or more away from such menaces.

I hope they can confirm in autopsy whether this is really a drug-induced behavior. Glad I don't live there!

It's something called Mephedrone or "Bath Salts". Is it related to PCP?

It's more like Meth, IIRC. But you can go insane just like PCP apparently.

I always knew bath salts were suspicious.

I have seen this list pop up on a couple of other forums. Beginning of the end?

Looks like the zombie outbreak starts in Florida. Not a single person is surprised.

Yup. Time to lop off America's wang.

WTF LOL

Stupid logic, crashing my zombie survival party.

Miami Zombie Attack Prank! - YouTube

:lol: Surprised he didn't get shot.

I'm actually surprised so many people ran away from him. If I saw a guy so obviously movie-zombie'd out with a camera car slowly following him, I'd give the dude a high-five.

I'm also surprised only the one dude at the end went to kick his ass. :lol:

I'd counterpoint that oh so "scientific" article with some actual mathematical modeling done on the subject.

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=zombie%20infectious%20disease%20m odeling&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CFsQFjAA&url=http%3A% 2F%2Fwww.mathstat.uottawa.ca%2F~rsmith%2FZombies.p df&ei=Rk7NT-qAMsbg2QXw0piJAw&usg=AFQjCNFCv1BtYUNzvzdVjkc9oKHR4 oKhEQ&cad=rja

That's kinda awesome. But they fail to take into account the cumulative "wear and tear" of the undead. So even if zombies don't rot like the other article mentions, they still certainly fall off things or otherwise move themselves to the R class at some rate.

It would be interesting to calculate a possible survival situation where human reproduction can at least match the natural loss of zombies due to attrition. In other words, what would it take for there to be an equilibrium where humans and zombies coexist.

There's also the counterpoint from the same site: http://www.cracked.com/article_15643...r4=recommended

:lol: It's beyond awesome that they 1) actually modeled this, 2) wrote a paper on it, and 3) put down a co-author as "Robert J. Smith?" (question mark included).

My personal opinion on the matter is that the faster and more aggressive 'infected' of the 28 Days Later variety, which they make a note of excluding, are a more realistic :lol: scenario than the classic Romero shambling living dead zombie. Since, you know.. dead organisms are.. dead. At least that presents a plausible explanation for people suddenly losing their minds and running around eating their neighbors, like some new mutated crazy virus. But if there was an outbreak like that then we'd all be ripped apart even quicker. So either way we lose.

:mog:

At least the firearms industry has been paying attention: http://www.hornady.com/store/Zombie-Max

now do i buy zombie max ammo? or stock in them? (maybe both)

... (guess the ammo won't help if i don't own a gun)
