Amentep Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Anyone who has seen Fulci's Zombi 2 (aka Zombie Flesh Eaters) will remember the underwater zombie (that ends up fighting a shark). 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadySands Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'm thinking you'd probably be completely safe from zombies depending on how far from shore that place is. Just basing that on bodies decaying at about twice the speed in water. I think Gromnir is probably correct about the only possible concern being a floater and even then who knows what condition it'd even arrive in. Suggestion, flush twice. 2 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HA! Good Fun! It does beg the question of how zombies groan and moan when their lungs should be dessicated. Also what if the virus is cross species?

Yes, that's why drowned people eventually "float" to the surface once decomposition sets in. But the latter part raises an interesting question. Lots of effort has gone into how fast radioactive isotopes decompose. What is the halflife of a zombie? I.e. at what point would it have decomposed so much that it is no longer a zombie? Does gender and body mass affect the halflife of zombies? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I've had to suspend my disbelief plenty a time when I think that a decomposed body wouldn't have the mandibular strength to bite through anything. 28 days later zombies make sense but everything else feels like fantasy realm to me. But we are forgetting "Night of the Living Dead" which aside form a lovely scene by Linnea Quingley, shows some measure of zombie intelligence. So what if zombies are intelligent enough to use boats?

teknoman2 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) well, speaking of zombies and water, lets not forget that water is very hard to move in if you are walking and the pressure at the bottom of the sea is really big. unless it swims to minimize drag, it would take a zombie several months of walking at the bottom of the sea to reach the island IF it can overcome the forces exerted on it and isn't swept away by currents... and doesn't rot to be just a pile of bones in the meantime Edited August 7, 2020 by teknoman2 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

Volourn Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I know about Argonauts. In fact, I thought about them when I posted. There is also part 3 to Bruce Campbell's series that highlights, but still zombies crush them in terms of popularity. 1 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
