Day Eight: Sleepy Zombies

Okay, maybe zombies don't actually sleep. I also doubt they use Post-It notes, which is just sad. No wonder they all eat brains.

Returning a moment to The Walking Dead and, well, zombies in general - a question: If zombies are dead and decomposing then, in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, wouldn't we all just have to hide out for a few weeks while they turn to mush and bones?

If an animal can be picked clean to bones and fur in roughly a week (see CSI and YouTube), then it's fair to say it would take a month or more to get a person to bone. So, does turning zombie slow the decomposition rate? According to one site, the human brain liquifies within such a short period. I really think we could just hunker down and wait it out. That is, of course, if the brains of a zombie hold such power.

I would love to continue this conversation, but I'm typing in my sleep, now..
No announcement tonight - must sleep. See ya tomorrow.
