I would be just a slightly more worried by the 28 Day Later/Left 4 Dead Zombies though.
Indeed while they do still have many of the problems listed in that article, it depends on how far their faculties degrade. For instance if they can still open doors.

NO NOT UROBOROS! Damn it Wesker!
It's too late! Complete, global saturation has been ensured!

Actually my zombie guidelines are to go on a small deserted island (preferably really cold)
Zombie can't exactly swim and they have no body heat (i hope)

Anyway there ware flaws in article like how they assumed they keep decomposing, they are some what living again so decomposition is unlikely. If someone drowned and was brought back to life they would continue to decompose. Also it acted like we all are hardcore killers, the only reason we are on the top of the food chain is because of intelligence, we suck at killing things unless trained otherwise.

And yes biting isn't the most effective way, but would you expect patient zero to bite you and anyone else at a random time. Its not like you are going to be armed and ready we the one or multiple zombies start going crazy.They are likely to infect loads of people. The article seemed to forget that they group up, if it were a couple zombies at a time that would be fine, but the make up hordes. And when hordes of zombies start running at you, your fucked, sure you could take out some but certainly not all of them. Also zombies have an undying thirst for flesh that cannot be quenched, however dogs with rabies bite when angry, so the comparison between the two are irrelevant.

Zombies not able to feel pain is more beneficial than it leads on, zombies will not huddle in the corner in pain with the rest of the humans, they will keep on coming by any means necessary. Yes zombies can't climb mountains, but the majority of the population are in cities far away from mountains, and not everyone on the world can climb mountains at the drop of a hat, some can't even climb a simple tree. They assume zombies can't see in the dark, but I call that bullshit! How many zombie attacks occur at night? The answer is almost all of them...besides they seem more nocturnal than anything! And this ability would give them an edge because (they don't have to sleep and)they can't hunt sleeping humans during the night, and pick off the survivors during the day.

Unless the world is prepared for an impossible event, we would all die.

Just because it won't happen doesn't mean we should not contribute to conversations and threads.

I, and most people, know it cannot happen, but does that stop us from talking about zombies, playing zombie games, reading books/watching movies with zombies in them, etc.?

We like zombies, and we're not going to let reality stop us from liking zombies!

Yeah, well when the super zombies come, I'll be safe in my abandoned prison or gas drilling station, and you can mock them all you want. They'll still eat your brains.
Sorry I just wanted to say how awesome your avatar gif is.

OT: I'd rather have suspension of disbelief. I plan on going into coma and waking up when the apocalypes is in full swing like 28 days later only with real zombies and not crazy rage monkey people. Nonbelievers like the OP are going to be the first to go when the Zompocalypse hits in 2012.

There is only one scientific reson that a zombie outbreak would fail and that is because zombies are, scientifically speaking, bullshit.

if it were real zombies(there are real, well, were real, zombies. it was a form of rabies in africa that killed you for maybe a minute, then when you came back to life, you reverted to you primal instincts. in other words, if you're hungry, you eat anything that moves. you can't use strategy, but you can heal, you can run fast, and you can use weapons like stones and sticks) then maybe it would be a little worse, but we already killed and cured that problem, so no worries. now, if it were spread maybe through air, we'd be screwed. and if you're immune to it, just go north or south to a cold place where they would freeze to death.

My rebuttle, source, Max Brookes books.

7: They cannot be killed by anything other than a head shot, not many animals go for the head. And if were talking about traditonal zombies all animals can detect and aviod infected beings and flesh 100% of the time.

6: Almost every bacteria avoids zombafied flesh and the few that do have a very slow process because there is so few of them. And even if they explode, that only increases the challange of clean up and as long as the brain works, atleast the head will be a threat.

5: The cold will not kill them. Instead meaning that it will be almost impossible to find zombies that have frozen until they thaw. This means that if a sector is declared clean, one thawed zombie can restart the outbreak

4: Biting is not the only way to infect but it is the most iconic. Any piece of infected flesh can transmit the virus. Even in animals that dont ressurect. Eat a horse that was infected and you will die and turn into one of them. Touch a door knob that an exploding zombie bled on and your little cut or hangnail is the perfect entry point for the infection

3: So what if they cant heal, they arent troubled by anyting short of total destruction, unless they have zero brain activity going on they are still going, with out a spine, they'd be crawling. Loose an arm, they would use the other one. Head got chopped off, they still control the head and can still bite. The fact that they dont stop until destroyed makes up for their inability to heal. And if undisturbed, they wont suffer and damage, they will just wait for prey.

2: So, you underestimate the psychological damage that the sight of seeing your son, your loved one, your mother and father, turn into animals in front of your eyes. That alone would drive many people mad. And even the strongest door will eventually succumb to a relentless assult from hundreds of never slowing, never stopping hits. It would only be a matter of time. Even a sheer 90 degree cliff face could be over come by how many pile up. Hypothetically they would literally bury you.

1: Everyone sleeps, you cant shoot in your sleep. Everyone gets scared, no one can draw, aim, fire, and hit bulls eyes constantly, no matter how good a shot. The sheer hoplessness of a world where they have taken over would make many people turn their own weapons on themselves. Not everyone knows that a headshot is needed to destroy them. How many people would aim for the heart only to see them keep going? How many after that would panic and fire the whole clip at the chest in a vain effort to kill them? After that, how many would have their wits collected enough to reload, especially when there are more coming? And how many of zombies would the wasted shots attract?

My rebuttle has completed. I have poken many holes in your argument Cracked. Good day.

I only read the title and the cracked article, but I have to thank you OP, because I fucking hate anybody who thinks they can survive a zombie event of any magnitude.

They'll kill everybody, get over yourself.
