Zombies do great choreography.
Imagine yourself walking around in a Miami sunny day, is almost noon and its bright as can be. There are lots of vehicles passing by on their way to the beach. Suddenly you see a person in a pedestrian walk; a dude on his knees. You can only see his back and a little bit of his ass. He is naked, but what really catches your attention is that there is blood all around him, that bright, thick colorful red fluid. You try to speak to him, to get his attention. Maybe he is injured, was there an accident? No answer from this person, then you see a second body, motionless; the naked dude is almost on top of him.
Something is terribly wrong. You call 911 and help is on the way.
Then, in front of your eyes, you can see the guy getting closer to the face of the person in the floor. Opening his mouth, showing the white teeth, taking a bite of the face, and chewing it.
Welcome to Miami baby.
The first season of The Walking Dead was a documentary.
Most likely all of you know about the infamous Zombie attack that happened in Miami’s 2012 memorial Weekend, where Rudy Eugene accused Ronald Poppo for stealing his bible and then knocking the shit out of him, while unconscious on the hot pavement, Eugene did like any of those bible freaks do when you mess around with their God: get naked and start to degust the infidel tasty face. Then police came, saw a black dude going totally bananas and shot him in the back.
You know, memorial weekend.
Floridians were absolutely psyched by the idea of a zombie armageddon coming to our door but before we even had a chance to place an order on Amazon or Ebay for gunshots and those amazing chainsaws that throw flash grenades the police confirmed that this was an isolated incident: no flesh eaters were crawling Miami’s streets. Looks like the guys involved in the incident were homeless. Nobody care after the H word.
Welcome to Miami Baby.
More than a year went thru, and no more sign of Zombies, just more and more homeless but reading the other day, I found out that there are creatures in real life that are 100 per cent zombies, they are bugs tho but at least they are no bums.
Just kidding, I like bums, just please don’t eat my face if I don’t give you 25 cents. Please.
Zombie Spiders.
The salt marsh-dwelling wolf spider Arctosa fulvolineata can revive itself from comas after up to 40 hours of drowning.
You totally are a researcher at the University of Rennes in France and one day you have the great idea to do an investigation about quote:“to determine whether spiders in flood-prone marshes had evolved to survive longer underwater than forest-dwelling spiders can”unquote.
Then you collect the spiders and use this amazing scientific method: drowning them. You know, what people of science do. Three different species of spiders were used for this study- only females- some of these subjects took up to 36 hours to drown.
The lifeless eight legs were put to dry to later weight them; suddenly their hairy limbs start moving, and the researches totally shit their pants because surely the spiders came from the grave to inflict pain, agony and terror into their captors heart.
After coming from home with a fresh underwear, the guys in white coats noticed that the spiders were not vicious killing zombie machines as they thought.
"This is the first time we know of arthropods returning to life from comas after submersion," said lead researcher Julien Pétillon, an arachnologist now at Ghent University in Belgium.
The spiders instead of being released to nature, just as a way to say “ sorry because I killed you once” they were cut wide open to know how they came back to life.
French people.

The beautiful and deadly Emerald Wasp.
No, is not the name of a female character in a James Bond movie, but pretty sure is way deadlier. This wasp has an amazing Emerald color and has a very unique way of reproduction; a la Alien.
The pregnant Jewel Wasp is upset: she is prego and the male Jewel Wasp is none to be found - happens everywhere- so she is fucking mad because there is no help, no child support, nothing. She does like any respectable wasp would do: fight with a roach, inject it some her neurotoxin, make it a zombie, implant the baby inside its thorax and see how the nanny roach becomes a larvae incubator then the baby from hell hatches, freeing itself while eating the insides. Hey don’t worry, the venom makes the cockroach feel no pain.
Maybe.

Fungus that Zombifies.
No respect when you get killed by Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, the fungus dick grows from your dead skull
The Last of Us is an amazing video-game that tells the history of Joel and Tess, the survivors on a post-apocalyptic America after the outbreak of Corcydopes: a fungus that creates a mindless zombie-like human beings that are just moved by the basic needs of feed; whatever is the meat source: in other words into a McDonald’s customer.
A number one with extra brains and fries, please.
The creators of the game had the idea while watching a documentary of the bbc which talks about the Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, a fungus that turns ants into zombie mode. The mechanism is quite remarkable: when the spores infect the host this create a behaviour change. First the ant has convulsions and falls to the ground, so cannot find its way to the canopy. Afterwards the ant starts to climbing leaves that are 10 inches from the ground within that space there must be temperature between 68 and 86 F and a humidity index of 94 to 95 %. Just before dying the ant faces east and bites the leaf's main vein and gets into a “locked” position.
Now that is dead, the fungus takes over the body and from the victim’s skull, a hyphae - the fungu’s dick- comes out and jerks off around, releasing its spores.
Nasty, disgusting, scary and quite interesting.
And by the way, there are some biotechnical research about the possible uses of this fungus.
by the Umbrella Corporation.
Just kidding about the Umbrella Corp but the research is for real. Check it out here.
Have a great Weekend.
