1. Being A Zombie Would Be Like Having A Horrible Flu. And Who Likes Flu?!
Ever since films like Return Of The Living Dead, we have totally romanticized zombies as slow, gormless creatures on their almost-lovable hunt for braaaainns, but in reality, theyd probably be identical to those in 28 Days Later infected with the RAGE virus. Or in other words, absolutely terrifying. Aside from dodging death, the washing bills would be astronomical, as you'd inevitably be forced to change multiple times thanks to your hot panicked sweats. And thats just if you were a survivor - lets imagine for a moment what it would actually feel like to be a zombie Remember the "real" zombie attack in Miami last year? A naked man, identified as Rudy Eugene, 31, chewed the face off a homeless man in the street. Rudy Zombie continued to eat the mans face, growling like a wild animal, even when police pointed guns at him. He was under the influence of bath salts, which apparently cause chest pains, increased blood pressure and heart rate, agitation, hallucinations, extreme paranoia and delusions. If thats the closest to feeling like a zombie -what happens if you turn into one? Its not exactly going to be a euphoric experience, is it? Sounds like as much fun as massive invasive surgery. Now tell me, do you own a cat? Then youre probably already infected with a parasite called Toxoplasmosa Gondii, a bug breeds inside your beloved kitty's guts. Of course, cats naturally want to eat rats, and this scary little bug knows it - it can literally take over a rat's brain and force the oblivious wretch to throw itself into the cats hang out. But why is this important? Well, if weve learnt anything from Resident Evil, its that there is potential for parasites to attack our brains and turn us into mindless, animal-like slaves, too. We use rats to test our drugs, because, when it comes down to it, they arent all that different from humans, anatomically and mentally. All it would take is a more evolved version of the terrifying Toxoplasmosa and BAM! Stupid mindless zombies with no brain power or self-control, everywhere. That's how humanity will end, right there.
