A Brief History of Zombies.

A very brief overview of zombies from voodoo to the modern popular culture. The author even mentions that Sears has a zombie web-site. Who knew?

Plus this from the comments:

I am getting ready for it! I worked at Holloman AFB (Whitesands Missile Range) out in New Mexico. They have a primate facility there that they do tests with. One of the SP/SF’s (Security Police/Security Force) there told me about primate security procedures. If a primate escaped and it had a blue collar on, it was safe to apprehend, if it had a yellow collar on, it was to be shot on sight and then could be covered up with a blanket or tarp, if it had a red collar on, it was to be shot on sight, stay back 50 yards and call in a fire team to torch the body. I was told they were working on a Super Rabies virus that North Korea was experimenting with and this virus did the same as the rage virus in the movie 28 Days Later. Basically a high fever, swelling of the brain which caused loss of memory and most remembered motor functions like driving, operating equipment or guns, etc., and it cut off the supply of serotonin to the brain, which causes extreme rage. It could be passed by bites and blood transfer. Sounds like zombies no? Not the movie zombies… but people infected with the virus and go nuts killing and are zombie like in intelligence. They will be fast and they wont be totally dumb, but they will still have the same limitations as normal human anatomy. They will starve and dehydrate, stabs or gunshot wounds to major organs or arteries will kill them. So either take them all out, or wait for them to die of dehydration or starvation. I myself believe it 100% and am preparing. I am not preparing for that zombie crap on tv, but I am preparing for an epidemic like in 28 Days Later.

Uh, okay.
