It also makes the point that a lot of modern weapons are designed to incapacitate or injure humans, and have a psychological element to them that doesn't affect the walking dead.

Yes, no one expects a zombie wave. Having said that, massive waves of armed combatants in WW1 were effectively…

The most dangerous viruses are the ones with a long infectious period before you show any signs. Zombieism strikes me as easily containable.

Indeed. I keep wondering how they’ve managed to fuck it up that badly in the Walking Dead universe. Surely New Zealand and other Pacific islands are still…

The viral spreading of the undead infection has never been convincing. The most dangerous viruses are the ones with a long infectious period before you show any signs.

Anti zombie combat is also quite easy. Only with massive weight of numbers are they any threat at all, and even then,…

Truly virulent infections are spread by the living – infections that kill you, and require you to be dead before you can spread them, can't infiltrate populations.

True, but the influenza virus doesn't chase you around the city on two legs, so it's swings and roundabouts.

Anti zombie combat is also quite easy. Only with massive weight of numbers are they any threat at all, and even then, finding a simple defensive line will enable even the most lightly armed defense to inflict 100% casualties. Climb to a vantage point, somewhere narrow if you have few…

it is imperative that zombies are dealt with quickly, or else we are all in a great deal of trouble

So that's why ACT are always on about the "Brain Drain", they want to build one.

Slaughter and incineration are accepted responses to encountering a zombie.

Mathematical modelling shows that "a zombie outbreak is likely to lead to the collapse of civilisation, unless it is dealt with quickly. While aggressive quarantine may contain the epidemic, or a cure may lead to coexistence of humans and zombies,…

What's the difference between the ACT Party and zombies?

Zombies are the walking dead, and ACT are dead men walking?

Original acetate.

Yeah, that's a fake. You'd know that if you'd been a fan for more than two weeks.

Can one talk about the elections in any way whatsoever?

Nor may you tweet about being sad (blue), envious (green), courageous (red) or indigenous. Don't mention theatre (act) or what Man U. might do. And only mention New Zealand sporting teams if they place second or worse.

Pfft. I own the Japanese tour bootleg on vinyl.

Meh. It's a shitty mastering job. Okay for a souvenir, I suppose.

The German "Original Teapot Tapes" on the Unbridled Power label is the best version.

Is it actually possible to legally do a #zumwohl on Saturday before 7pm? Can one talk about the elections in any way whatsoever?
