I was wondering if anybody caught this ? I was watching it lastnight but I fell asleep and now i'm pissed. I thought it was very interesting, and was shocked to actually see it on the history channel. They were saying How "Zombie" had a different meaning in every part of the world, and it is an actual ritual in Hatie(SP) Ex: If your not wanted in the community, you will be "Zombified", which they use a spirit of another humans body that has been detached from them. They then dig up the remains and use the crushed bones and make some kind of poisonous chemical and you start acting all fucked up like you cannot control your body. It was very interesting, I hope I can find it on DVD wouldn't mind having it and I think any Zombie fan would want to have it in their collection !

When they said that the first zombie ever recorded might have been Jesus, I couldnt help but laugh.
I did the same thing, I was thinking WTF is this guy taking ? He must be a hardcore Zombie fan who has a shelter stocked up waiting for a Zombie invasion (wait so am I).

Yeah buddy I'm coming to your house when this invasion happens, I want the top one :D I think severing the head would be much more fun instead of shooting the damn thing, more gorey :D

I would kill them with a pair of nunchuks. Not that I know how to use a pair of nuns or anything (plus it would take ages I suppose...), I'd just look far cooler doing it.
Well, until I hit myself in the nuts... :(

The short kids need all the weapons :)
The HDC HC will be rampaging if any Zombie/Cannibal/Scudmutant Apocalypse went down.

I'd have to use my cricket bat or guitar, they are the most hefty Zombie killing devices I have!

Uh... Zombies swarm, so by the time you've killed two with a sword, be you a great swordsperson or not, there are eight more on your ass. I'd prefer a high powered hand gun with laser sight. Unfortunately, they make a lot of noise alerting other zombies to your where-abouts.
In the event of a zombie holocaust, I'd like to be holed up with my immediate fam: mom, dad, and brother. Both my dad and my brother and tremendous marksmen with my brother being phenom and having high powered rifles, handguns, and shit (he's a cop, as I've said before), and my mom is good a golf, so she's got the accurate swing action as well. One of them could teach me to useful in some way.:p
As for the History Channel: Fuck them! They showed a program called (ahem) The Haunted History of Halloween, and of course they got the Celtic concept of Samhain wrong, possibly deliberately, making us modern day Celtic NeoPagans look like blood sacrificing assholes instead of the profound naturalist philosphers that we are. Assholes.;)

I caught bits a pieces of it, but it was interesting what I saw.
I thought the Jesus Zombie was a bit of a stretch.... There is a big difference between someone who has been ressurected and someone who has come back as a zombie, regardless of the tradition or context.

well apparently the only true zombie is just someone under the influence of a drug or hypnotism .. or the people who watch Survivor.
They were never (physically) dead at all.
so i guess jesus wasnt a zombie - just the walking dead.
i wonder if walking around in the shroud of turin left him walking around with his arse hanging out - like todays hospital robes.
