Thanks everybody. Imaginative play is the best part of this job!

Troy, you’d be right if we’re talking about stagnant water. But any water with a current, no. Don’t know if you’ve ever tried to keep your feet in a large river like the Arkansas or the Ohio or Mississippi, but it is very hard. However, they would become carnivorous bits of flotsam and jetsam. And I think swimming would fall out of fashion very quickly.

God could be a Zombie and he eats Human Soul Brains.
OMG were a ZOO

The funny thing is people would say, Oh Humans being a Zoo has been done to death.
But their is nothing more done to Death the Zombies.

I feel sorry for all the writers who feel they have to have a Zombie or a Trilogy to sell anything these days, yesterday it was Bratty Vampire Teenage Lovers. Tomorrow Human Created Monsters(frankenweiners)

Though I must admit that this Year of the Zombie has been going on for about 3 years now,
I do think according to the zodiac that its the Year of the Monkey soon. OOHHHHHHH

Writers should be trying to create the next fad instead of doing what literally thousands have recently done.

Though in defense of anything Good. If its good, then that work will most likely last past the current fads. and the shit will hit the bottom of the ocean with the other zombie meat.

P.S. Zombies walking on the bottom of the ocean was one of the scariest moments of that other big 70’s zombie movie, I think it was called “ZOMBIE” lol, yes im pretty sure though it might have had a s on the end. it even battled a shark if I recall.

Here’s a thought…couldn’t a zombie travel underwater…walk on the bottom…they don’t need to breathe.
