So how do zombies know where you are? They don't seem to breathe, being dead, and turn funny colors due to the lack of oxygen. Without oxygen, how are they moving? If they aren't breathing, we can guess they aren't smelling brains. How do they know where the juicy brains are? Is there a human soul in the brain that they are attracted to like cheerios sticking together in milk? How do they know when to stop eating the brains - is there some cutoff between live brains and not-live brains? If you hid from the zombies in a shelter, would they eventually dig their way in? Can they eventually claw through concrete and iron, or do they grind themselves to dust in the process? If their arm is removed, does it continue on it's own, even though it can't eat brains? Do they need to chew the brains, swallow, or just get them in the tummy? If they're dead, does the stomach still engage in digestion? If you remove a zombie mouth entirely with an axe or shotgun blast, do they still seek brains even though they can't eat them anymore? Do they attempt to swim, and if not do they sink or float? Perhaps you could hide from them on an island? How far do they sense brains from? Could you escape zombies just by scraping out a living in the mountains, or would they track you down? Do they just randomly wander around or do they have live-brain radar?
EDIT-OH! They're diseased people, and killing their brain stops them. It's like 28 days! So, that takes me back to the 28 days question - how do they know others are already infected? Why don't they try to infect one another?
Diseased plague folk (not zombies) move faster so more dangerous in the short-term, but are easier to avoid in the long-term. Zombies are killer for just sheer 'will,' though. Remember that half-a-dog that came to life in the lab, and the cadaver banging on the door? The pick-axe? Aw doooooood......
