Another thing about zombies...
Since the Resident Evil movies, and after seeing the zombified dogs and birds, there are two types of animals i wouldn't want zombified. Squirrels and chipmunks. those rodents are freaking fast and gittery already! Can you imagine if they started craving flesh? It'd be the end as we know it. So lets all prey that if a zombie apocalypse does come to earth, that it doesn't reach the rodent population.

Zombie de/evolution theory
I was just thinking about how the infection would be carried out should it occur, so here's whaat I think the life cycle of a zombie would occur.
Stage-1
Subject gets infected through either prior infected source of first infected. virus initailly runs as typical flu-like virus if infection is incured by a bite, the wound would be partailly anesthetize to insure best possibility of continuing infection. at the end of "stage one" the subject may still retain self (personality prior to infection) but may display cannibalistic tendencies or continue to display personallity prior to infection but no longer be susceptible to fatal injury (not including damage to brain area)
Stage-2
Loss of subjects personallity incurs resulting in near complete personality blanking. subject may still retain some habitual memory or learned behavior (opening doors, partial speech recocnition to close family). At stage-2, the subject is still relatively "fresh" and is able to run and display quick reflexes near comperable to unifected, and will continue to run towards "fresh food". Note, a permanent basic behavior pattern of prefering "fresh" meat will continue to persist.
Stage-3
Stage-3 incurs several hours after large-scale infection when "fresh" food is no longer plentiful. The subject will slow down (possibly stop movement all together) regor mortis will set in stiffining the subject. As the subject attemps to move during regor mortis, varrious tendons and muscle will brake, producing the slow shuffling walk most associated with zombie movement. Also during stage-3, primary senses such as eye sight, smell, and hearing (note, hearing is the last sense to leave). Any eye sight that persists is reduced to blobs of shapes and the subject is most likely to respond to rapid changes in colour.
Stage-4
Stage-4 is the final stage prior to complete death of the subject. (length of stage-4 is heavily determined on enviroment the subject is in.) The subjects movements will continue to deteriorate as flesh continues to rot off. Any possible behavior preference the subject may have had prior to stage-4 will be completely deteriorated and subject may begin to consume any nearby "food" wether it's non-infected or a fellow zombie. Subject may also begin to consume self. Note, this can also happen as early as stage-2 when subject consumes soft tissue around the mouth area. this includes lips, cheeks and even tongue.
Stage-5
Complete cell death in soft tissue (muscle movement). However the subject may continue to remain highly infective and should be quarantined as surrounding area is contaminated.

I'm back!!!
wow, it's been awhile and since nobody really noticed, I'm in the clear! so ha! at any rate for those who for some reason decided to check in and took note of the brain teaser I posted I'll post the answer.
the brain teaser goes as follows: How many sides does a circle (2-D) have and label each of those sides. the answer is:
there are four sides to a 2-dimentional circle. the inside, the outside, the top of the circle, and below it. the last two make sense to me because you can only observe a 2-D circle from either above or below it.
I first realized this in math class back in high school but the idea most likely occured to me after watching a star trek episode where the Enterprise-D got stuck in a 2-dimention being. it's kind of amazing how things come to you don't they?
at any rate, I'm back now and plan to make regular updates that probably won't make much sense but will be posted anyways. after all, i'm not writing a book, just a web blog.
