I know it's been done before, but it's been quite some time, and we've had many people join since then. So... how tall are you?

No we do pounds here, just trying to fit in with the UKers...
Actually we should do kilograms but most still do pounds.

Now you make a very interesting point here. Cinema wise the only case off the top of my head I can think of, of a sustained post excision animation of a limb is Evil Dead, which walks a fine line between possesion and zombification. Ash's hand was possesed rather than zombified and therefore retaining function.
If it is indeed true that reanimation of limbs is a common function of zombies (although I see very little evidence of this) it could be a matter of brain function. Take for example The reanimator, firty doctors head is cut off but his body moves? how so? The brain is intact in this case and although there is no physical link airborne hormaones and signalling compounds may be a key factor in the animation of the excised tissues. If the body is blown up into a million pieces however the brain function would be impaired (and as we all know to kill a zombie you have to destroy the brain) and if it were a case of chemical interactions the tiny bits of blown up zombie would be damaged to an extent that would prevent this and would also not be able to produce signaling compounds in high enough concentrations to have an effect.
Make sense?

Zombies don't eat brains they eat muscle tussue and internals, if we're going to be biological about this in live tissue the haemoglobin is oxidised nicely and the blood is bright red and all is good, in dead tissue the haemoglobin starts to turn to methaemoglobin which cannot bind oxygen) and the tissue goes brown and bad (which is why if you ever go to buy meat and it looks more brown than red you know it is a bit urgh) Now also the dead cells will decompose and die and cellular apoptosis I think is a little toxic and there will be not much phagocytic activity in a corpse so the dead cells will just sit around in toxic lumps. Zombies will taste awful. Plus add to that the decomposition products and urgh.
In the social metaphor stakes however, why feed off another zombie when they are one of you, it's the living you wish to convert and drag down to the unthinking reactive levels.
It's a complex business this zombie lark.

Is it because zombies feed on functioning brains, which other zombies don't have?

I meant dumb in the not that scary stakes, I mean werewolves are big dogs really and big dogs are everwhere, ZOMBIES are scary because they represent the pure instinct, greed and little brainpower of modern society, zombie herds looking out for themselves without rational thought or reason. They show us what the population is all about except for the few unmoved by this disease who are victimised by the zombies for being different, and by victimised I mean eaten. They eat people, dead people eating people, zombies fucking rule.
I just woke up, rational argument follows later.

No, no, no. My question was about the Catholics getting back together. Which Frank answered, let the record show. Your question was about underwear but only after I talked you out of asking him dirty questions about
sex, Tre. Isn't that the truth, sister?

Jesus on a hotdog stick, I just weighed myself for the first time in almost three years *just* for this little post.
Actually, it's not the pancakes I blame but that child I had three years ago. Should have adopted.
I'll be editing this post in a few minutes, as soon as I scarf up some carbs.
