Reign of the zombies happening now?

[zombiebob]

I just saw a prediction about when the reign of the zombies will end and that we are already at the beginning of the reign of zombies and that we are already surrounded by zombies. Check out the prediction here zombie prediction , I'm not that hung up on the date of the end of the reign of the zombies but more about whether or not we are surrounded by zombies right now?

Zombiebob, welcome, but please read the sticky in this section to know what sorts of information to post here.

Hi phil_in_cs,
Yes, it's the wrong section, I posted this to the "Disasters in current events" , or so I thought. I might have had two windows open and got them mixed up. Can I move the whole post to that section, or just delete it and post it in the right place?

[phil_in_cs]

You did post it in "Disasters in Current Events" and I moved it here. What a physic says is not a disaster. Read the sticky there.

[zombiebob]

You are right, in retrospect that was probably not the best section for this post but I couldn't find a better match. What would you recommend as the most fitting section for this post. I have been convinced that there are zombies living among us for a long time and I'm just starting to realize that I'm not the only one with this conviction. So I'm really eager to get the discussion rolling on this topic. Maybe you could set up a whole new section titled for example "zombie takeover" or "zombieocracy", or something along those lines, what do you think?

[phil_in_cs]

I hate to break it to you, but most people here don't consider zombies real. Why don't you throw up an introduction post in that section, and get to know some people

[zombiebob]

I know I know, most people don't believe in zombies, but a few of us do. And I think this forum is the best place to bring attention to this issue.
But I'll take your advice and I'll put up an intro post in the intro section.
Thanks,
Zombiebob

What's your definition of zombie and what made you come to the conclusion that they are among us.

In what numbers do you figure they're among us?

[zombiebob]

Not sure about the exact nature of the zombies but I'm pretty sure they're all around us. I'd say maybe 30 to 40 % of the population might be irreversibly zombified. Please don't quote me on those numbers, it's a very rough estimate.

[JTNieman]

I'd say maybe 30 to 40 % of the population might be irreversibly zombified.

So basically you're saying one in three forum members here is a zombie?

That's pretty damned good motor skills and thinking for a zombie.

So what -is- your definition of zombie?

I don't think you're gonna make it.

[zombiebob]

Jim, can I call you that?
Look at my name, Zombiebob, does that sound like the name of a zombie?
Yes it does, and that is because I am one.
Have I ever claimed not to be a zombie? No.
Now if you excuse me it's time for breakfast, I'm having human brains this morning.

Well as long as we're opening up around here, I was bitten over three years ago.

Aside from needing a bit of extra caffeine to get going in the morning, being undead isn't too bad.

Copied from the link by the OP:

Eric, you are a wise one. Indeed the zombies are as you say the living bodies of spiritually dead souls and they will soon rule without competition for a few decades. It will not be pleasant for those of us with living souls, but you Eric who are young will live to see the end of the reign of the zombies and you will bear witness to a wonderful new beginning. Be strong and never let your soul die, those of you with living souls know exactly what I mean.

Aaaaaand, there you have it. Discuss.

I read it that way as well. But, alas, look, so many are checking out the emperor's beautiful new robe...

Sounds like the dying proclamation of a bad movie wizard or something.

Zombies aren't real?!?! My whole believe system is shot.

OP, I'm hoping that post is meant with humor/tongue-in-cheek/sarcasm. Like JamesCannon said, joining a forum and typing out a post is rather impressive for a zombie.

Now if you mean "zombie" as similar to "sheep" or "people", you'll want to avoid that line of discussion. Here at ZS, that is verboten. It's even in the Rules.

Work third shift. You'll have a pretty good idea of what it's like to be a zombie
