Zombies 'n stuff

Do you know what I love about Halloween? You can be anyone or anything you want to be.
Frankly I've always been a pretty big zombie fan, but I never could figure out how to achieve the look.
I wanted to share some zombie facts and pictures with you, today.

Zombie Origins
Zombies originally hail from Haiti. Voodoo sorcerers (or bokors) from the Caribbean are believed to be able to revive the dead with magic potions, powders and incantations. Another popular way to zombify a human is to introduce a powerful psychoactive drug into the bloodstream of the living. In both cases, the Zombie in question becomes an obedient slave to the spellcaster. he word zombie is thought to be derived from the Kongo region in Central Africa were the voodoo religion was practiced. The word Nzambi which was used to describe the corpse of a dead person in the region and it's believe that zombie is derived from it.



1.)Zombies Stink. To say all Zombies omit a foul odor, while technically true, is patently unjust. In fairness to the undead, they are undead, and that particularly unique character trait does bring about a certain pungent fragrance.
 
2.)While slow moving, they never seem to tire.  Running and frequently taking right angles seems to allow you to escape them.  They do NOT corner well. 
 
3.)Only wounds that damage the brain seem to drop them for good.  Aim for the head or neck with your firearms or melee weapons.  Remember, circling a single zombie works well.  They turn around for shit.
 
4.)They are weaker than you, and are unable to pull themselves up.  If you can change elevation, they usually cannot continue their pursuit.  This also works if you can trip them.  They frequently lay there for seconds trying to figure shit out, and then it takes them time to get upright.  Plenty of time to either kill them or flee.
 
5.)Zombies appear to have excellent hearing.  They are attracted to movement as well so if you can be quiet, and stay very still, there is a good chance they will not notice you!
 
6.)Zombies trip on just about anything in their way.  If you can put obstacles in their way, most of them cannot wrap their decaying heads around how to get past it quickly.  Eventually they will figure it out, but if you can get out of their line of sight and out of their hearing range, they’ll give up, and meander elsewhere.
 
 
to conclude, I have a question for you.
Will zombies be covered by the pending healthcare reform?
