Happy New Year. Just because we survived the 2012 zompocalypse doesn’t mean we should let our guard down. Thankfully, some Neuroscientists from Carnegie Mellon have given us detailed insight into the anatomy of the zombie mind. Two neuroscientists have analyzed the behavior of the walking dead to reveal the inner workings of their minds and defined […]
Scientists just cannot leave well enough alone. Living cells just aren’t good enough, now we need silica replica cells to do our bidding. An American team of biology researchers has recently crafted artificial “zombie” cells that can outperform natural living cells. Zombies will most certainly be the superman-like “I Am Legend” type. The technique took […]
One year left. Z-Day. 2012. The Mayan zombie super-apocalypse. Sensational journalism. Paranoid survivalists. Gun nuts. People out having fun. Boy scouts taking their preparedness to the next level. If you can be ready for this, you can be ready for anything. 2012 and the end of the world has been discussed at length here (dozens of […]
As if spooky old soviet films and the Safar Center for Resuscitation weren’t enough, now dogs are coming back to life on their own! “Each one was pronounced dead with a stethoscope and everything,” reports Prall to KWTV. The dogs were sent to a dumpster for disposal. The following morning, Prall looked inside of the […]
Here’s some science of the new decade for you: how about draining pigs of their blood, making them clinically dead, and then bringing them back to life? Naturally, this is a military project, and those always end well. The theory goes, if you drain a pig (which has a physiology similar to humans) of blood […]
Undead or infected? Horror movie puritanism or scientific reality? Discussion and debate surrounds not which makes a better film, but which is more likely to happen. You can blame science. The zombie outbreak will most likely be the result of some experiment gone wrong, an adaptive virus, or horrible pathogen. Save a giant UFO hiding […]
So the soviet reanimated animal research continues. What do you get with one part cellular cleaning agent, one dead heart, and a couple of mad scientists? That’s right: reanimated hearts. Perhaps the efforts of earlier commie scientists are still being perfected. Scientists in Minnesota have been injecting dead rat hearts with a cleaning solution, then […]
Reanimated corpse! Live on film! I touched a nerve with my earlier post about reanimated dogs heads. This is a followup to that post, as well as an addendum to my article about types of zombies. This would fall under the scientifically reanimated corpse. In the 40’s, the Soviets were working on experiments involving reanimating […]
Skeptics love to debunk zombies and the undead. The idea of a zombie outbreak presents several logical points open for debate, such as causes, physiology, the contagious nature of an epidemic and even if a reanimated corpse is possible. Skeptics illustrate that conventional, “real” zombies exist only as a product of voodoo sorcery using tetrodotoxin, […]
“I’ll give you the 2012 thing”, she said, “but a zombie apocalypse? Come on, you don’t really believe that do you?” The 2012 thing – if you’re reading this article, chances are you’re already familiar with it. The 2012 thing refers to the conveniently predicted end-of-the-world or great change coming December 21st, 2012. Many apocalypse […]
