the Christians fucked us all with the dark ages. burning and losing all the tech and history they didnt like. so lets give them a hand.

and 2 this world is fucked up. and all human life is to the earth is a parasite. you are all insects. like crab lice.

bring on the apocalypse. bring on the zombie crusades

Secondly, there are actually several strains of something called Solanum viruses that infect the Solanum genus of plants–whose relatives include the tomato and potato plants that we eat. So, to clarify that point, I’m not saying that some virus that makes zombies does or doesn’t really exist, but it’s not actually the Solanum virus that does it. Real Solanum viruses actually cause leaf curling, not zombies.

Lastly, as I scientist, I can’t rule out anything until I actually find proof that it doesn’t exist, so I’m not going to absolutely say that I don’t believe in zombies. I do have to say that a virus is far less likely to be the culprit than a manufactured drug. Viruses simply don’t work that way. Man-made drugs have far more potential to create something similar, but it would still likely require the body to work in largely the same way it does currently; therefore, a zombie would be far easier to kill than the movies would have you believe. I’ll always be prepared for whatever may come, but I just wouldn’t worry quite so much.

P.S.
That picture of an arm clawing out the grave is fake as hell. You can buy faek limps like that to hang out of the trunk of your car and what not.

Enjoy, and do not seriously expect any zombies coming out anytime soon, the government has it fairly locked down out in the state of Ohio… if it goes down.. well.. i suppose the few of us left will have some fun

Humans are a species like any other. The only difference is that we are highly advanced. An apex predator, as some could say. As an example: Mountain lions, another predator, are preyed on by each other (for humans: criminals); other predators (humans: wild animals); and disease, which is the missing piece of the puzzle for humankind. Solanum, uncurable and deadly, could be that missing piece of the population control puzzle.

It could very well be real. I believe in it 100%, and I just really don’t care if you doubters think I’m nuts. I’ve heard it to the point where you can all just kiss my ass. Just don’t go shambling to me as an undead monster, I will blow your brains out.

In a bizarre parasitic death sentence, a fungus turns carpenter ants into the walking dead and gets them to die in a spot that’s perfect for the fungus to grow and reproduce.

Scientists have no clue how the fungus takes control of the brains of ants so effectively. But a new study in the September issue of the American Naturalist reveals an incredible set of strategies that ensue.

The carpenter ants nest high in the canopy of a forest in Thailand, and they trek to the forest floor to forage. The fungus, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, prefers to end up on the undersides leaves sprouting from the northwest side of plants that grow on the forest floor, the new study showed. That’s where temperature, humidity and sunlight are ideal for the fungus to grow and reproduce and infect more ants.

Once infected by the fungus, an ant is compelled to climb down from the canopy to the low leaves, where it clamps down with its mandibles just before it dies.

“The fungus accurately manipulates the infected ants into dying where the parasite prefers to be, by making the ants travel a long way during the last hours of their lives,” said study leader David P. Hughes of Harvard University.

After the ant dies, the fungus continues to grow inside it. By dissecting victims, Hughes and colleagues found that the parasite converts the ant’s innards into sugars that help the fungus grow. But it leaves the muscles controlling the mandibles intact to make sure the ant keeps its death grip on the leaf.

The fungus also preserves the ant’s outer shell, growing into cracks and crevices to reinforce weak spots, thereby fashioning a protective coating that keeps microbes and other fungi out.

“The fungus has evolved a suite of novel strategies to retain possession of its precious resource,” Hughes said.

After a week or two, spores from the fungus fall to the forest floor, where other ants can be infected.

Making nests in the forest canopy might be an evolved ant strategy to avoid infection, Hughes figures. The ants also seem to avoid foraging under infected areas. This too might be an adaptive strategy to avoid infection, but more study is needed to confirm it, he said.

How the fungus controls ant behavior remains unknown. “That is another research area we are actively pursuing right now,” Hughes said.

Seconed the canadian talked n no one responded to his posible clame. His story interested me but he should have used a camera or somthing.

Third it might not be a Virus but it could be a parasite. Ther is a virus or parasite cant remember but it infects an ant or snale also cant remember but then it take controle of the primitive brain and forces it to go to the top of grass then get eaten by a rabit then the rabits droppings are eaten by sed animals and the proses starts over.

4th who care if its real or not, be ready for the unknown and dont dismiss zombies becouse of the Z.S.G. and anoying kid you dont know the US gov at all.

Also what if the govs are some of you? haha.

last but not least aim for the head.

It’s called FICTION people. Zombies are FICTION. And you all are retarded, seriously.
