I enjoyed a fascinating article the other day which stated that a “real” zombie apocalypse would last one week, tops.
The reason for the short duration? Because Mother Nature is very, very good at getting rid of dead tissue. Between bugs, bacteria, bears and birds, the zombies would be consumed inside of a week, leaving nothing but bones behind.
I’ve often wondered about the lack of decomposition on “Walking Dead” and why the walkers are still walking at all. Zombies just don’t add up. Never have.
Oh ye of little faith! I suppose next you’ll be telling us that professional wrestling is all a sham and that Obama isn’t giving us the full story on Obamacare!
The World War Z books and especially Zombie Survival Guide goes into painful detail of how to bacteria not only kills the host but preserves the body so that it resists bacteria and decay. And smells bad to predators who stay away.
