They don't seem to be very zombie-like to me, but that's science for you.

Better set your phaser to stun.

WoD

Not really zombies at all...how dissapointing

Thursday

"The new species has been named Osedax mucofloris, which literally means 'bone-eating snot-flower'."

Now there's a Future Shock pitch for you.

Now, see, if the writhing mass of worms was able to re-animate the whale in a blasphemous semi-sembelance of life, THEN you;d have your "Zombie Worms"...

Bah, these people just don't know their cryptozoology - they didn't mean zombies, previously living organisms that have died and since returned to a semblance of life or animation for whatever reason; they were thinking of ghouls, sub-species of creatures that subsit almost totally on the dead flesh of other creatures - carrion eaters.

Even more basically put, zombies are the re-animated dead; ghouls are eaters of the dead.

Tsk, and with Halloween coming up as well. They should be ashamed.

The vampire squid is pretty damn cool though.

Dark Jimbo

Oh, definately. Goes without saying.

Good thing they're not really zombies:

Ah, but what you really have to worry about is when the zombies reach the zoo...

Think an elephant's dangerous? Try taking one that's angry and undead and put it among a panicking crowd in the middle of a city collapsing beneath a zombie attack... it ain't pretty, I tell ya...

Has someone been playing Resident Evil Outbreak File #2?

Never mind the zoo...http://art.comics-db.com/covers/dc/gh/hitman/14.jpg">

Amstor: No, I just mentally inhabit a world that exists on a strange tangent to your reality...

Art: Nooo! Fix the link, I must know what you meant!
