"Corpses... lumbering, rotting cadavers. What contrivance could have wrought this... this... abomination? Diseased science? Blasphemous occult rituals?

""We are outnumbered. The virus has completely devastated over 150 of the world's major regions, and is spreading rapidly. At this point in time, we know of only one method of killing the creatures: destroy the brain. Be on the guard of any loved ones who may have recently been in any sort of contact with the infected, and if you find yourself in a threatening position, please, do not hesitate to act. Again, this is not a test. This is not a joke. We as a species are overwhelmed. We are outnumbered.""

Maybe that's OK for now but someday you'll be out of food and guns, / Then you'll have to make the call. I'm not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough. You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff. But Tom, that's what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly."

- Jonathan Coulton, Re: Your Brains

"Bar the windows, lock the doors scan the airwaves, look for more. Maddening static on the radio! You can hear them in the street, howling, moans, and shuffling feet. How do you kill what's already dead?

Aim for the head!

(Interlude)

They break down the door!

They smell you on the second floor

They never sleep,

and are they ever hungry.

They break in and find you there,

A manic smile to meet their stare.

they tear away all that they can

and what is left will walk again."

"It's my observation that zombies are second only to ninjas, pirates, and monkeys in the list of things nerds like and need to shut the fuck up about.
