I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I have seen videos on Youtube with radio interviews where some people claim that this is possible. Whether its due to magical voodoo that Wade Davies claims is happening in Africa or the more conspiracy thinking like virus being created that causes a world wide epidemic that turns people into zombie like things.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2leFr0WoCFU& (the former idea)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MsxwHld9R0& (the latter)

I mean someone told me that you could develop virus like Mad Cow disease and spread it fast, you could get something like this. What about Nanotechnology and stem cell research?

The Voodoo doctors can create zombies by administering strong psychotic drugs.

Why do you thing they would waste research grants in Nanotechnology and stem cell research to create zombies.

A few zombie movies have already created zombie like believers.

OK, now I think you're fucking with us.

You listed Cracked magazine as a source.

Really.


Cracked........

The poor copy of Mad Magazine.

Both are amateurish humor. Only someone who has been living under a rock or is deeply mentally disturbed would consider this as a valid source.

But here's the question.

Kil, Dave W, you guys have access to IP records. Is Justintime and Flanagan the same person?

Actually, Cracked has gotten a lot better since it went online-only. Just sayin'.

Not that I can tell.

Yeah. The online version of Cracked has pretty good articles and fun stuff. It's not the same as the version that was sold on the news stands.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
