Fat Zombies

[smileynev]

Your average hungers for the raw flesh and brains of the living, correct? Once consumed, though, the has no means of digesting anything since its internal organs and systems no longer function, correct? If that weren't the case it would be much easier to take one down, of course. So where does the consumed flesh and nervous system material go? On a relatively fresh I'd have to assume that it ends up in the stomache. Older, more decayed s may have it fall direcly through their bodies, depending on what is still intact.

So, it can be concluded that the fatter a is, the more successful and higher up it is on the social ladder of the world.

If you were I would tell you to eat me.

do s poop?

Do I gain your powers of coolness and sexiness?

Thats what started this whole thought process. Without a functioning digestive system they can't.

If I was a useful mod, I would close this.

But there is a theoretical limit to zmobie fattness as it collides with survival of the fittest. If the looks like Jabba the Hutt, its lack of speed will reduce its chances of catching humans and may be stuck eating grapes, lettuce, and snails...

are you sure? wouldn't it just slide out on it's own eventually? After the muscles start to relax, I'd assume that the poop would just fall out the brown starfish as they walked.

Jabba the Zombie? Don't give George Lucas any ideas.

True, true. Plus, at a certain point, the would burst and all the undigested human flesh and brainmatter would spill out. But, the cleverest of s would figure out a way to capture more flesh even as it got slower and fatter.

Brings up a good point. Can the other s smell the undigested human parts inside the fat and, if so, will they attack it?

poop that existed before the zombification would fall out. But no more poop would be made, since all the enzymes and crap wouldn't exist to digest the foodstuff properly.

Everyone knows that s don't eat their own.

Imagine if s ate their own, it would be total chaos. Zombies munching on other s munching on dead people. It I was a , I'd insist on grade A fresh human and you should too.

Why would the enzymes just die like that? Wouldn't they bacteria that lives in your digestive tract continue to live on and help the enzymes?

True, true. What happens when the human runs out, though?

I assume that zombification only takes place when the body is completely dead. Maybe I'm wrong.

When the human supply runs out the s will have to move on to other forms of life - dogs, cats, squirrels, etc...

After those run out it's all a crapshoot. Maybe one day you'll see a eating a salad.

I think you're wrong. I've seen people keel over and die only to wake up 30 seconds later as a . There's no way that they would have completely died in that amount of time.

Even then, the muscles that push the food through the intestines would probably no longer function.
