Apart from reading Labrat's recent comments and seeing how well the British are doing in the Olympics I've spent some of my leisure time here musing on what the options might be to counter the zombie threat. I'm sure my list isn't total, but here are some of my first thoughts: 1) Enforced cremation It strikes me that the problem is with corpses being reanimated.

And one wonders if even that is the end of the story or if it could have some potency beyond? At last I am free for the… Continue
