I haven't read the article (tl;dr i have homework to do okay?) but at a quick glance I think the point is to have seeds stored somewhere so that in a post-apocalyptic situation somebody could gather them and bring them to a warmer climate and plant them there.

And pat you can necro-post this thread all you want as far as I'm concerned. This thread is serious business.

Patrick · « **Reply #701 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 01:04 »

It's weird how in the space of 5 months everybody has learned my name. I fear the zombie uprising is sooner than we think.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #702 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 01:51 »

Everyone else was calling you that, I thought we might have another kim on the boards or something.

And hey, just as long as it isn't tomorrow night, I have plans.

Spluff · « **Reply #703 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 02:02 »

You're fine. The problem will be when everybody on the boards starts referring to you by your surname - and you never told them what it was.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #704 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 02:05 »

Ahh, the internet. Come for the discussion, leave with several stalkers.

Patrick · « **Reply #705 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 03:51 »

I know for a fact that there are plenty of folks around here who probably know not only my surname but my middle name as well.

Is there a reset button I can hit or something?

all you need is a HUGE balloon, it will be solar powered, and a fan will keep it in the air, and all you will need is food, to last it out. and a basket big enough to sleep in. and bring home made bombs if you wanna ahve some fun

craters with zombie parts around em' booyah!

Spluff · « **Reply #711 on:** 29 Feb 2008, 23:03 »

I was not aware that balloons used power (solar or otherwise). Also, a fan? Were you planning on having somebody running around underneath you blowing the balloon up with the fan?

I'm quite confused.

Mako · « **Reply #712 on:** 29 Feb 2008, 23:13 »

well actualy, ballons usually have big burners to keep them in the air, but mine will have a super powered fan, and the solar panels that will be the covers of the balloon's exterior will power that fan.

thats what they normally use, but gas will run uot eventually, so solar works!
and if all else fails, ill bring up a bike to ride on that will turn the fan.

Mako · « **Reply #713 on:** 29 Feb 2008, 23:36 »

oh shit, you're right. maybe possibly, the solar panels could also heat the air inside, if the balloon were big enough. Maybe...

Even if it did work, wouldn't the fan just suck you into the balloon? (in small pieces)
I can imagine a powered fan that gets hot enough to lift a hot air balloon (making it is another story) ... but I wouldn't want to be underneath it.

Mako · « **Reply #715 on:** 01 Mar 2008, 02:21 »

i would have put a guard on it. DUH,

either that or i was gonna go out to sea, on a ocean liner about a mile or two out. and wait it out.

I figure zombies arent that good of swimmers

Has anyone seen Braindead? Ignoring fly-kicking reverends, I reckon the lawnmower idea was worth digging up. (lawnmower+zombies= ??)
Maybe less so if the zombie outbreak is contagious by blood.

öde · « **Reply #717 on:** 01 Mar 2008, 03:07 »

Hmm, strimmer (replace the plastic wire with steel?).

thegreatbuddha · « **Reply #718 on:** 01 Mar 2008, 03:09 »

What if the lawnmower powered the balloon?

Would that work?

Mako · « **Reply #719 on:** 01 Mar 2008, 03:15 »

thats the true spirit of a zombie apocalypse, work together and make one badass tactic of destroying zombies!

but id rather have a weed whacker with steel blades. not a lawnmower. youd have to somehow run over the zombies, which to me would seem rather difficult.

And as a secondary weapon, id have a katana XD

warofthebees · « **Reply #720 on:** 01 Mar 2008, 04:11 »

A semi automatic rifle and a hummvee...break into your local Army fort (they ain't gonna send you to Guantanamo, they're all dead[ish]) and steal them. Get the lock off of an arms room door somehow, and you're good! Military Hummvees don't have keys, and you can hide out in the hills until the zombies finally rot away (if they do rot).

Admittedly, I stole most of this form the Zombie Survival guide. But I'd still do it.

Spluff · « **Reply #721 on:** 01 Mar 2008, 04:40 »

The first place I'm going to raid when it happens is the local high school. Think about it, they've got primitive weapons (baseball bats, cricket bats), food, tents/other outdoorsman things, wood/metal working supplies, chemicals (for fancy zombie eradication), and probably a few other things I've forgotten. Best part about it is that most people probably won't think to go there, so it will be relatively un-looted and zombie free!

warofthebees · « **Reply #722 on:** 01 Mar 2008, 04:51 »

Well, I came up with the Hummvee thing myself (I'M SO SMERT!), but going out to the hills, using a semi-auto rifle, and the undead eventually rotting are all from the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks.

Mako · « **Reply #723 on:** 01 Mar 2008, 05:07 »

id personally like a humvee with a zombie-electro-bastard-ray (taken form the 1999 game, carmageddon, carpocalypse now) that would be sweet, zapping zombies left and right. no zombie is safe.

Are you a mod? [/Ghostbusters]

Mako, you should see Braindead ... running them over is for the weak. This guy hefts the lawnmower, blades to the front.

This one is pretty simple compared to the other suggestions ... but how about a spade? reinforced, extra long handle & a wide head.

Patrick · « **Reply #727 on:** 02 Mar 2008, 14:53 »

As long as you can get me a meter-long version of it, you've got a happy, happy little KJS.

RedLion · « **Reply #728 on:** 02 Mar 2008, 18:38 »

One thing I've always been curious about--how do zombies distinguish who's a live human, and who's another zombie? Do they have some kind of thermal sensing? Specially attuned hearing? A heightened sense of smell? What?

jill the ripper · « **Reply #729 on:** 02 Mar 2008, 21:05 »

They eat everything.
They're zombies.

Or perhaps they smell fear!
So, you can pretend you're a zombie by not being afraid, and then they won't eat you.

(I, by the way, refuse to acknowledge the existence of this so called "fast" zombie. Abomination, I tell you!)

Melodic · « **Reply #730 on:** 02 Mar 2008, 21:18 »

Zombies don't eat everything, they eat humans. Various zombie movies have taught us that zombies have some form of survival instinct, and they require human meat to live. They don't have special powers, they're just dead dudes and dudettes. Can new people to this thread please read the thread before posting? This is ridiculous...

Also, I don't see the need or point for carrying melee weapons designed to kill (swords, knives, sharp things) when the primary use of a melee weapon should be to separate you from the undead: bats do this fine, but I wouldn't want a katana (seriously, stop watching Japanese cartoon shows) getting stuck in a corpse when I'm trying to make my way out of an infested city.

Spluff · « **Reply #731 on:** 03 Mar 2008, 00:34 »

What basic instinct tells us to eat other humans? I know I'm strong willed, but not once have I been compelled to devour one of my friends.

Fletch · « **Reply #732 on:** 03 Mar 2008, 04:46 »

Probably whatever motivates cannibals or excessively hungry people in bad situations.
I'd put a joke about girlfriends here, but some might think it in bad taste for a zombie thread. (so you'll have to think of it yourself)

I can't remember what it was called, or even when I saw it, but I remember seeing part of a bad zombie movie where they fall upon the house cat.
So, at least in that case, it would be zombies eat all living flesh.
Which is sort of what I meant.

Not, like, a zombie gnawing on a tire swing. ;d

...I once (really, just once) thought about wanting to eat a forearm.
Really, it's just like a giant turkey leg.

Perhaps the voodoo/scientific experiment brings out the the subliminal urges in the human brain, or our primal, caveman-like instinct to hunt things that run?

Sox · « **Reply #734 on:** 03 Mar 2008, 18:36 »

Zombies are possibly fueled by survival instincts. Self preservation. They're not aware that they don't need to eat, instinct makes them do this anway. Heck, maybe they just like the taste? I enjoy eating, why shouldn't a zombie? Probably the only source of pleasure a zombie has is eating. Why do they attack humans? Because zombies know humans are different. They're a threat. They learn that the zombies aren't harmful. They see a person? Deliberate movement, strong, powerful. A zombie knows that a living person will be able to hurt it. So it does the only logical thing that a zombie would do. Attack the threat. Destroy it. Zombies do have a degree of consciousness. There are thought processes going on in those heads.

I think it's the virus. The virus wants to spread, and it's spread by bitey-bite. Ergo, more bitey, more zombies, more virus. YAY SURVIVAL.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #737 on:** 04 Mar 2008, 09:19 »

If they have a basic sense of smell then they know that zombies aren't good to eat because they are basically rotting, dead things.

I've always wondered why zombie films never cover the fact that there would be so many flies in the event of the zombie apocalypse.

öde · « **Reply #738 on:** 04 Mar 2008, 13:39 »

Noted, Jimmy.

But where the hell am I going to get a load of flies?

thegreatbuddha · « **Reply #739 on:** 04 Mar 2008, 13:41 »

Doesn't Solanum kill non-humans?

So the flies would absorb Solanum from the zombie, die, and not make more flies?

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #740 on:** 04 Mar 2008, 14:36 »

Screw that, if I make a zombie movie I'm going to have a literal fuckton of flies all over the goddamned place.

I'm pretty sure that phrase is fair game, actually. It's a translation of "Beelzebub"; William Golding didn't make it up.

Fletch · « **Reply #744 on:** 05 Mar 2008, 00:32 »

Truly ... but if the guide says insects avoid rotting meat, I think there's something wrong with the guide.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #745 on:** 05 Mar 2008, 06:07 »

I bet flies would be all up ons on a steak like that.

Fletch · « **Reply #746 on:** 05 Mar 2008, 07:35 »

Wriggling, too. It would have to be rotting, [suppurating] & wriggling to stop me.

Maybe flies are different in America (or elsewhere) but in Australia we get big insects; blowflies, armoured cockroaches, etc.
You need to do more than shuffle around to discourage them. (watch the cattle) If they get anything infected and pus-ridden, flies are on it like nobody's business. Gangrene / rotting is a buffet & maternity ward all in one. (heck, people used maggot wrappings to remove gangrene in past times)

Lol ...
