How Do They Survive? (The Zombie Conundrum)

I think a lot; about both normal things and abnormal things (I’ll let you decide which sphere I spend the majority of my time in) and this one thing has been bothering me for quite a while. It’s a two-part philosophy that has been part of zombie fiction for as long as it’s been around:

If the only way to kill a zombie is to destroy its brain and zombies eat brains to “survive” – how does the zombie population grow exponentially?

The A To Z (Approach To Zombocalypse)

I’ve never been a fan of horror; movies in particular. Having said that though, recent events (Harold Camping’s Rapture drill, for example) and discussions have made me question myself in relation to the naive way I live my life. As a result I have decided to take action to improve my awareness of and preparation for the Zombocalypse. I don’t want to be an alarmist here but in the same way we all have smoke detectors in our homes, so should we be prepared for this unlikely yet life-threatening event.

Naturally, I believe I am totally unprepared for the Zombocalpyse. Having watched precious few zombie movies and read almost no literature I find myself in a very precarious position. Luckily, there are others who have devoted a great deal of their energy and time to the subject and it seems that this topic is one which needs to be brought to your attention. Why? Because I care about you surviving the Zombocalypse too, that’s why. I don’t want to run into you in the street and have to shoot you in the face, dammit!
