'World War Z'

the Gs take about 5 years to lose leg functions and fall apart.

You mean that you would make a mural out of Muriel?
or a vignette out of Vinette?
or a collage out of Colette?

This could be the start of my career as a writer with a debut serial killer thriller!

or a trompe l'ouiel out of Troy *evil laugh*

(I know I know, dismembering fellow Dakkanauts breaches rule#1, even if it is in the name of art)

No - I would paint the sides of buildings so that when viewed from a specific spot they would make a picture, but from any other position you would not be able to see the image

Kind of like the CH4 intros:

Troy is going off about how zombies aren't real, but giving scientific reasons for why they aren't real?

Sort of makes your brain ache doesn't it....

Brooks, in his works of FICTION...establishes why his zombies don't just "rot away" in days...and why many conventional weapons don't affect them...
These are the guide lines for why his zombies " work" in his FICTIONAL world...

...But you know...there always has to be those few who point out the inaccuracies between fiction and reality....
BTW ...were you aware that giant robots have yet to slug it out in a major metropolitian area...yup..true story.

The OP wasn't confined to World War Z so your statement doesn't apply. Sorry, I'll leave so you three who read the book can discuss it in detail.

Hmm, oddly enough, due to the thread title ...one would assume that the OP was directly refering to the situations that occured in WWZ and intended to use the book as a template for the discusion....
...And " We three" must have bought a hell of a lot of copies of the book for it to become an international best seller..

You know there is a book on survival of the appocolypse of zombies.

Get out!!...next you'll be trying to convince me that there is no such thing as light sabres..

We know. I own that book and that is canon as it is in the same universe as WWZ.

I direct you to my previous post (quoted below for brevity):

I would explain to the shambling zombie horde that their existence is biologically impossible, and then laugh in amusements as they began decomposing at an accelerated rate to catch up with reality. Done.

And for those of you who seem to think that Mr. Brooks "Zombie Survival Guide" would actually be useful in the event that Zombies of any form WERE real: Please get a clue.

Yea about that............

Star Wars is a work of fiction! Light sabers are completely scientifically impossible. Here's why...

Why use a light sabre when a heavy cutlass would do the same job without having to worry about the batteries running out at a crucial moment of living dead onslaught?

I don't know, I think I a lightsaber would be better because it wouldn't be liable to get stuck on a bone or chunk of gristle or something.

Thanks for that Monster
You have just put me right of my chicken style cutlet.

Sorry about that, friend.

That's okay no worries now I have cleaned up.
fwiw
Chicken style cutlet doesn't taste like chicken.

Ever notice everyone says everything tastes like chicken? Conspiracy? Maybe

Quite
Venezualan Striped Tree Iguana? Tastes like chicken
Giant Banana Slug fried in batter? Must surely taste like banana? Ah, it feeds on the noble sequoia so it must taste like fresh rocky mountain redwood sapiness. Right?

Wrong, he taste like chicken.

Tesco's Chicken Style fillets? Ah now that must taste like chicken. Nah tastes like diluted cardboard.

Disclaimer: could just be my cooking and in no way the fault of Tesco Supermarket. It says cook in the centre of a pre warmed oven for 20 mins at gas mark 5.

I thought it would work better if I boiled it in the bag.
Not having a suitable bag I used the box as a substitute.

Hmmm, I wonder if the zombies think the people they eat taste like chicken?

Does your gooing chum lose his flavour on the bedpost over night?

what would i do? not go on a killing spree an ultimately get shot in the side.

i kinda have a plan. id probably just wait til my friend showed up,and follow his plan. if he doesnt show up,do things my way.
if he shows up as a zombie,kill him. no,wait. cut off his head,and its jaw,and keep it as a pet

Lulzors, that was funny.
OT however, I have a cave in Zion that is prepped for the Zombie Apocalypse.

I'd probably get killed somehow.

That doesn't cut the mustard Malfred
We want specifics.

I think it will be a tragic tale of a man trying to escape the zombies with a manbag full of socks; this manbag will most likely somehow be key to poor malfred's demise.

Such a tough choice, too! Do I take the time to acquire more socks? Or
do I "interact" with the socks I already have?

Decisions!

These interactions interest me greatly.

Do go on.

Porr jason.
maybe you should not have made him flip out and kill the following:

A nurse wh helped him out of his handcuffs.

A dad of some kid

A mom of some kid

a storeclerk

and then you made him take a cop hostage...at the police station.

If I recall correctly, our benevolent GM got your character shot in the side while in cuffs then get his throat torn out by half of reanimated New Orleans...

I would become The Road Warior and roam the Australian desert.
