Yeah it would be possible, theoretically.

If the virus takes out everything except the "reptile" part of the brain (The one telling us to eat, fight and run), you would have point one and two.

Now if you made it so it infects the spit too, it would go into the wound and infect the blood of the bitten

Pretty scary, huh
Now you know how to make a zombie.

Have fun apocalypse-ing
YEaaahhh no. There is no 'reptile' part of the brain.
I think he means the part that controls our basic instincts.

The poll options are quite stupid as well.

Also, when did Zombies come back into fashion, for god's sake! I hate zombie threads!
Me too. They're one of the only things that actually get me frustrated.
Why are zombies even "cool"? They're not scary/amazing/useful in any way.

I much prefer the vampire thing - at least that has a romantic aspect, not just mindless gore.

I notice that your thread has no "it won't happen" option... :p

Anyways, the chances of it occuring are highly unlikely - at least in the sense of how they're portrayed in films.

Sure.
As in the dead rising from their graves?

I doubt it, but I'm far from omniscient.
Depends on how you define omniscient.

No one can ever be omniscient. Ever.
How would you know?
There might be.
EDIT: Someone omniscient, that is.
Yes but omniscience changes from person to person. Take time for example. There's "different parallel universe whenever a decision is made" theory (the name escapes me). If someone was omniscient, they would have to know what happens in each and every different universe. Then, if someone believes in God. You must see where I'm going with this.

P.S. I retract my statement, I meant it is near impossible (so near, it's practically impossible).

Tell me you've seen Let the Right One in.

Of course - it's one of my favourite movies. :D
I still need to get around to reading the book though.

I meant romantic in a different sense though. Like in the way the whole concept of vampires is beautiful.

No, zombies will never happen not even with viruses. If you think it could you need to research viruses to do some learning. It's nothing but a fantasy.
Agreed. Sorry, but your anti zombie education was a bad investment.

Well i heard on the news that HAITI is having some unrest and they control the worlds supply of ZOMBIS (their spelling not mine) so its only a matter of time especially if some of the zombi labors got loose during the earthquake.(view video below)

"Also, when did Zombies come back into fashion, for god's sake!" Resident Evil 5, Call of Duty: Wow, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2,Zombieland, Walking Dead, Marvel Zombies, Blackest Night. You know, stuff that when it came out was cool and was very big for their respective communities. Wasn't Blackest Night DC's big comic event? Yeah. Isn't Walking Dead being made into a television series soon? Yep. Zombies are here to stay. Succumb to the infection, or live off your egg loaf and carbonated yogurt.

Are you beating around the bush?

Twilight. I said it. I remember watching Underworld 1 before my girlfriend dragged me to Twilight.

I may just being a bit special seeming as I just came back from the pub (and I didn't read any of the other posts) but I didn't see a 'NO' option and I did read them all a few times. Anyway, if there isn't a 'NO' option, it's just a poll about to what degree playing L4D has prepared you for a zombie apocalypse.

P.S - That bacon riding Frankenstein dream just feels to me like a big pile of unimaginative lies coated in randomness which; for some reason, people see as wit.

I don't like any of those titles.
