If we were ever invaded by an Army of zombie freepers, we'd be screwed....

[DS1]

Aiming for the brain would be an impossibility.

1. i was thinking about zombies the other day....

and now you have me doing it again.
i'm just saying, if it happens to grasshoppers and ants, it could happen to us.
:scared:

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

4. Zombification happens at all, in any species?

Whoa, please explain. You have my attention.

[bettyellen]

5. well, certain parasites trick their brains into suicidal behavior....

there's a worm that gets into grashoopers and makes it want to jump into water and it dies right away. there's another one that makes ants climb up a blade of grass at dusk, so a cow will be grazing. the ant gives up it's life so it's parasite can get inside they cows stomach. i tell you, we're next!

[DS1]

9. That ant thing is amazing

:wow:

[bettyellen]

12. it's been haunting me since i first read about the ants....

if they miss their chance to be eaten, they just climb down again and act like normal ants until it's dusk again and they try again.
after the cow shits them out, it's a short trip till they look for another ant to commandeer.
and now the grasshoppers. throwing themselves into swimmming pools. it really disturbed me. you and me, we're next.

13. Where did you hear / read this?

Inquiring minds and all that.

2. Like a BB

in a fuckin boxcar.

[BikeWriter]

3. That's true, but most freepers avoid armys and combat.

[TimeChaser]

6. Shoot the neck

That works good against zombies. Or get a flame thrower. Or find all the Resident Evil gamers.

[Dave Reynolds]

8. Problem is,

many of them do not have necks, either.

[TimeChaser]

14. That's when the flamethrower comes in handy

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Shit, they don't even have to be zombies

[DS1]

10. Yes, but then you're turning my nightmare into a fantasy

:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. LOL!

:rofl:

Took me a moment, but I got it!

Yes, my fantasy as well. Just a whole mall or three hundred full of 'em...
