      Not like a dead and rotten person getting up and chasing you, none of their cells would work.

      But I suppose it’s theoretically possible that someone could be drugged and put under mind control and sent out as a mindless automaton to search for living BRAAAAINS, which is as near to being a zombie as makes no difference, and in that case I’d take the drawers out of my filing cabinet and hide in there, it’s metal and they’d never chew through that.

      I haven’t got a gun so I would have to defend myself with a stapler and a spork.

      I don’t know. But if they did i would definately hide somewhere with a good vantage point, like the top of a large building, preferably with a thick door that could be sealed from the outside. I would definately use a gun if i could get my hands on one.

      I’ve watched a lot of X files in my time that have featured zombies and scully has come out with some fairly scientific-sounding theories of how a zombie could exist… however if by zombie you mean something that is dead but… still mindlessly living magically somehow… then I’d say no. If by zombie you mean something that isn’t actually dead, it’s mobile, acts on instinct, has no thoughts and could kill you… then just maybe some awful awful virus, like 28 Days Later lol.

      I would hide in a pub and use the biggest gun (with the most bullets) I could find!! I’d have an ice pick as back-up if the bullets run out.

      I heard an explanation of where the myth of zombies comes from. Sometimes when a person in Africa got bitten by a black mamba they seem dead – because the venom shuts down their nervous system. If their body fights the toxin (normally you die because you can’t breath and your heart stops) they can ‘come back to life’ after a few days.
