Ladies and Gentleman,
A truly
very scientific research has been done to answer the question! And the answer is...
[
drum roll]
Yes!
Five potential agents of zombieism have been discovered, including:
- Parasites (anyone ever heard of toxoplasmosa gondii, the parasite that needs to be inside cats to reproduce sexually. So when it finds itself inside a rat, it changes the rat's behavior so it will willingly offer itself to the cat! (Note in passing, it apparently affects humans too)
- Drugs.
- Mad Cow disease (the very reason I'm not allowed to donate blood. Fear me, people, fear me!)
- Stem cell research (be ready to see those beloved mummies raise from the dead in their glass cases in museums world-round!)
- Technology (as in nanotech).
But what if someone were to somehow create a weapon out of several of these factors? Wouldn't this mean we'd have a Mega-Zombie-Apocalypse on our hands?
What would you do if that were the case? And for how long would we be able to survive?
And
that, ladies and gents, is the question!
PS: I really recommend a look over at said v
ery scientific research--it's a very good read!
