Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 16, 2012
Transcript:
Danae; What's with all the medical books? Boy 1: Kyle and I are doing research. Boy 2: Very important research. Danae: Are you trying to find a cure for something? Boy 1: Sort of. Boy 2: We're hoping to solve the mystery of decomposition mobility. Danae: Uhh... what's that? Boy 1: Well, zombies are reanimated corpses whose flesh still rots away, so we're trying to find a rational medical explanation on how it's possible zombies can move at all, much less walk and tear their victims apart. Boy 2: Science will explain everything. Danae: Zombies don't exist, dweeb-heads!! Boy 1: Well, that is something we haven't factored into the data... Boy 2: No way, dude! Zombie apocalypse deniers are the first ones zombies prey on.

Of course zombies exist.Just watch the House of Reps on c-span, and you’ll see the dead move. Slowly.(They’re the ones walking toward the Fiscal Cliff.)

Just think of what comes after the Zombie Apocalypse — the Zombie Utopia! No crime, no war, no poverty, and everyone will be valued for their brains.

Danae says something scientifically factual. It’s a sign of the Mayan doomsday prophecy!

It’s called “Tooth Fairy Science”: doing research on a phenomenon before establishing that the phenomenon exists.

I always thought that “real” zombies were people who were put into a deep Voodoo trance and made to carry out nefarious tasks for the priest.

Are zombies real? Well, if you define them as re-animated corpses, probably not (Jeffrey makes some fine arguments against them). On the other hand, if by “zombie” you mean a shambling, mindless creature trying to consume your brain, yeah, they’re very real. You can see lots of them on TV any Sunday morning.
(Whether I’m talking about TV preachers, TV politicians/pundits, or both, is left as an exercise for the reader…)

Well now there is one thing Danae really has right; its heartening that she is truly on the ball. Always knew girls were smarter……

Zombies are a polite convention. When FEMA and the other agencies use this tongue in cheek there is a reason. What they are really preparing you for is shooting down your fellow citizens without saying the horrifying truth out loud and ugly.

Oh yeah? Well, if zombies aren’t real, then why does the CDC think we need to be prepared?-http://www.cdc.gov/phpr/documents/11_225700_A_Zombie_Final.pdf

Zombies = virus/parasitic infection lying dormant until time to feed.
.unless they are the person sitting in the cubicle next to you at work.

I will never understand why people get so much joy out of believing the worst, fearing almost everyone and everything and picturing disasters.
