Why are they never armed?
Why are they never armed?
[/the same reason the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny aren't armed they are fictionalQUOTE] Oh come on....FICTIONAL?????
If you get bitten by a Zombie, you get the virus.
If you get Zombie blood splattered all over your face, you don't.
What's the difference because a virus should spread either way?
If a Zombie sees a living person, he wants to eat them.
If a Zombie sees another Zombie, he doesn't.
How would a Zombie know the difference?
If you shoot a Zombie in the heart, they don't die because there is no blood circulating.
If you shoot a Zombie in the head, he dies immediately.
If there is no blood circulating, why should the brain be any different?

Sometimes mistakenly referred to as "zombies," these aggressive and violent creatures have been infected with a very complex virus named "aseptic hospetic cruosis," and commonly referred to as "HCV" or "cruosis." HCV functions as a super organism, much in the same way an ant colony functions, the many tiny organisms existing separately within the host, but acting with a common goal. The virus targets the cerebellum, the portion of the brain that controls functions such as basic motor skills, hunger, anger and aggression.
Once in control of the cerebellum, The virus sends the cruoritic host on a quest to eat anything living that it finds. It is a remarkable flesh-eating organism that is both resilient and deadly. Even once the host itself dies, which it inevitably does, the cruosis virus can still control the host by utilizing the energy given off through the decomposition of the host's body or through the ingestion of fresh uninfected organic material, which it then infects and begins decomposing. Moreover, the virus can remain dormant for incredible amounts of time within a dead host, waiting patiently until the host is stimulated by sight, sound, or smell to reanimate the rest of the body functions to attack and consume whatever living material is available.
HCV is spread most commonly via fluid transfer, but can also be inhaled in vapor form. The most common method of infection is a simple bite that breaks the surface of the skin, though fluid transfer to the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are equally infectious. Cruosis infects a living host and immediately begins to reproduce and spread rapidly through the cardiovascular system. The virus makes its way to the blood/brain barrier and proceeds to tap into the cerebellum and central nervous system. At that point, the HCV host is no longer in control of its own actions, and all other body systems shut down, causing its body to "die." However, Infection can take place before, during or after the host's physical body dies. Generally, within a few minutes of being bitten, the body will begin to be ignored by other infected, as it is only uninfected flesh that the virus can consume. This is why the infected do not attempt to eat each other.
The cruosis virus hard-wires the brain to constantly attack and kill living animals of all kinds, although preliminary tests have shown that only humans have the brain capacity to host the infection. Therefore, while zombies will attack and eat other creatures, those creatures will not become infected. HCV feeds off of any living tissue that the zombie consumes, though it does not utilize the human digestive system to break down matter. Instead, the virus breaks the food down internally and feeds the energy directly to the infected cerebellum.
The virus is constantly searching for new victims, which allows it to rapidly reproduce. Even if one of the infected is in the middle of feeding on a fresh corpse, it will abandon it to attack a living creature. This allows the corpse to become infected without being completely consumed, reanimate, and continue the cycle. It can spread amazingly quickly, with exponential numbers of hosts, making it incredibly dangerous and nearly impossible to exterminate.
I saw a corny Zombie movie during my insomnia the other night and the Zombie did pick up a rifle and started firing around at random. It didn't seem right. His aim was horrible. I wouldn't have even bothered to find cover.

Damn, I jumped the gun on my cranberries reference.
