Then there's the whole viral possibility. We've seen some scary, badass viruses out there...and they mutate, change forms to suit them best, try to get past our biological defenses in so many ways...not only us, but any living creature on this earth can fall victim. Being as it is that so many viruses can mutate (I mean shit - has anyone here actually researched the "bird flu" thing...it's FUCKED UP)...it's not all that far fetched that one could eventually have the ability to take control of motor functions, and live in a more symbiotic relationship with a living host, even if only in a very simple way.

I think this bird flu is really something we have to worry about. I don't know if it's as far out there that we'd have to worry about a zombie epidemic, but you never know, as you said viruses mutate and change form so we don't know excatly how dangerous it is, or could come to be. I saw a commercial for the Opera show about a week ago, I missed this particular episode which I really WANTED to see, but the man they were talking to was saying things like 'it's on it's way here' (as in the U.S.), and 'modern medicine will NOT protect us'. Anyone actaully see thaat episode? Could turn into some 28 Days Later shit, that'd be fun, wouldn't it:)
As far as me wanting something zombie like to occur, I don't know about all that. If it were just a few here and there I'm sure I could survive, but no, I have no game plan and would probably get eaten if there were ever a large population of zombies because I'm alone a majority of the time. I'd need people to watch my back.:(
It may be wrong of me to say, but it'd be kinda cool if just a small epidemic happened somewhere(away from me) and I could say something like that actually happened in my lifetime. How fucked up would that be? Our generation of old people telling zombie stories instead of the whole 'walking to school up hill both ways' thing?
