Grab Your Boomstick: The Zombie Apocalypse May Actually Be Upon Us

And here's the bad news: Whatever's happening in Florida appears to be spreading. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign tweeted the following the following warning to its students last night: "Hazardous materials released at Institute for Genomic Biology. Escape area if safe to do so. Otherwise seek shelter."

Yikes. I know some people were trowing around the idea that these cases were people hopped up on bath salts, but I am sort of doubting that. Can we please just nuke Florida?

Hey, I just got my chickens and ducks and picked a mess of green beans and zuccini! Don't nuke us yet. At least wait until the FSU baseball team blows another number 1 seed and goes out of the NCAA tournament. Then I'll be ready.

Looks like this will be the news year for zombie attacks. We've gone through hurricane years, volcano years, tsunami years, pandemic years, and now it is a zombie year. Seems about right. Every attack that involves blood, guts, or teeth will be overly reported and the hysteria can ensue. At least this is a fun topic!

The good news is zombiism is 100% curable. Look at Iron Mike Tyson. He's as good as new again.

I grabbed the doc as described in the video and most of the info I linked earlier was from that doc. The skype conversation took part two days ago. quote from the doc:

[10:12:47 AM] Every Knee Shall Bow: thought u may want to know this virus was developed in Miami Institute and Va tech,it somehow got out,and is mutating rapidly,they do not have a vaccine at this time,BUT studies show those with Type O blood are not be infected,this is airborne now.
[10:12:59 AM] Every Knee Shall Bow: Still researching,will update when i can
[10:37:13 AM] kevin allan: wow wtf? thanx
[10:38:58 AM] Every Knee Shall Bow: No problem,i have got several other documents I have discovered on this if you want them
[10:41:28 AM] kevin allan: sure
[10:41:59 AM] Every Knee Shall Bow: ok i will begin to flood u with info then.Some of it is very graffic.
[10:43:24 AM] kevin allan: lol ok
[10:43:48 AM] Every Knee Shall Bow: worldvisionportal.org... say hello to SYNTHIA
[10:43:54 AM] Every Knee Shall Bow: [5/28/2012 3:24:55 PM] Every Knee Shall Bow: SAY HELLO TO SYNTHIA

In 2003, JCVI successfully synthesized a small virus that infects bacteria. By 2008, the JCVI team was able to synthesize a small bacterial genome. On May 6, 2010, JCVI revealed they had already created a self-replicating bacterial cell controlled by a chemically synthesized genome they named “synthetic Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0”. (7) This completely synthetic cell with its computer designed genome has absolutely no natural DNA. (1) The etc group from Canada named it Synthia and it contains added watermark chains to identify the genome as artificial. It also has antibiotic resistance indicators. (7) One can only speculate why this artificial bacterium has an inherent programmed capability to resist antibiotics

Just to add a couple more.....

Seems like psychotic biting is on the increase? or is it just that we are looking for, and then finding, what has always been there? Weird stories and I for one don't go with the 'bath salts' explanation at all.

Is there any actual evidence that the cases mentioned all the way through this thread are in any way linked? A simple comparison of the microbiology of the suspected zombies blood would be capable of determining any similarities beyond the ones that you would expect (you know, like similar DNA, general biology consistant with our species and all that).

Also, is there any evidence that the suspected zombies ever came into contact with one another, or a potential zombifying substance?

And another thing: Were any of the so-called zombies dead? Were they all to a man, utterly incapable of talking, or performing complex tasks involving precise use of thier hand to eye co-ordination? Were they insensate? Did they have reams of flesh missing, holes in thier torsos, or were they missing any limbs? Zombies, as depicted by Hollywood, often show obvious signs of having passed on to the other side of the veil between our world and that of the dead, but having not quite made it out.

On the subject of zombies, there is one substance which in my veiw could produce the zombie like behavior that we are all familiar with, but it could only do it if the person on whom the substance was used, was also exposed to someone ordering them to behave like a zombie. The drug in question is called scopolamine, also known as Devils Breath.

www.vice.com...

Now, using this drug, combined with an instruction to behave like a zombie... well lets just say, if a drug can allow a person to assist in the theft of his own kidney, then I am sure it could be made to allow a person to be persuaded to behave like a zombie, and consume anothers flesh.

Yikes!!

At least I'm type-O. See ya suckers, the world is mine!

Rather than actual hollywood zombies ie the " undead " I would imagine that there may be various conditions where a human could present zombie - like tendancies as in the biting, growling, fever, glassy eyed stare, psychotic beaviour, aggression and violence.

Symptoms of rabies are not too far off the mark when you look at it


Furious rabies

Furious rabies is characterised by episodes of increasingly bizarre and hyperactive behaviour, separated by periods of relative calm. During these episodes, a person may have some, or all, of the following signs and symptoms:

aggressive behaviour, such as thrashing out or biting
agitation
hallucinations – seeing or hearing things that are not real
delusions – believing things that are obviously untrue
excessive production of saliva
high temperature (fever)
excessive sweating
the hair on their skin stands up
a sustained erection (in men)

Around 50-80% of people with furious rabies will also develop hydrophobia (a fear of water). This initially begins as a pain in the throat or difficulty swallowing. On attempting to swallow, the muscles in the throat go into a brief spasm that lasts for about five to 15 seconds. Subsequently, the sight, sound or even the mention of water (or any other liquid) will trigger further spasms.

The affected person will then fall into a coma before dying, usually within 12 days, as a result of heart or lung failure.


Interestingly the difficulty swallowing and spasm in the throat could maybe have the effect of the infected person growling or sounding like a zombie?

Just my two cents worth, and I prefer this theory over the bath salts one.

Something tells me that all those zombie books are going to be selling like hotcakes. Especially those Zombie Survival Guides!

Why Florida? It's a key location for incoming drugs smuggled-in from Cuba and PuertoRico. All the low-life drug dealing begins there (when it's not happening around the Mexican border). And there are so many retirees down there, most of them haven't much left in life to do but try drugs... Then the Florida everglades with all those former pets let loose to interbreed and run amok. Mutants are bound to abound.

Hey, maybe I'll get lucky and end up with a zombie girlfriend. Probably the only kind of creature left in the U.S. that would tolerate a guy like me.

Nothing to fear except running out of shotgun shells.

Seems it was a black person who eat the white guys face, may be he just liked white meat. It seems that each day the world just gets wilder and sicker.May be something in this zombi #

Uh-ho. I think the original source of this disease might have been ATS.

aggressive behaviour, such as thrashing out or biting
agitation

Check. Trollish behavior, half-reading threads and then responding in anger

hallucinations – seeing or hearing things that are not real

See UFO and Secret Society Forums

delusions – believing things that are obviously untrue

Pervasive element in ATS. See any thread and you will find at least a 30% infection rate.

excessive production of saliva

I always just thought that was from all the erratic typing and overloaded paranoia and anger, but turns out it is a symptom all on its own.

high temperature (fever)
excessive sweating

Always blamed it on the computer tower, poor ventilation, delusions and anger, but apparently this too is an additional symptom

the hair on their skin stands up
a sustained erection (in men)

See, and I always blamed this on tabbed browsing and flipping back and forth between ATS and porn, but apparently I have the disease!!

But... I have 9 out of 10 of those "symptoms" All My Life!

Well, I don't fear water but I don't swim either! I've had swelling muscles from time to time but nothing ever constant. Sweating and high temp comes natural to me, and it doesn't help that I have a 40 year old air conditioner which takes hours to cool an outhouse-sized room. Excessive saliva I've always attributed to my sinus drip problems, frequent ear-throat infections, and asthma coupled with allergies. Hallucinations or delusions, well, you can judge for yourself by reading my other messages around ATS! Usually no sustained erection, but then again there's really nothing around here to get me sexually excited to begin with! The thing's like a little piece of dead meat just hanging there, even when urinating...

Maybe I should chain myself up just to be on the safe side.

I just can't imagine needing to get a rush so bad that I would lick a toads ass or eat a laundry detergent square?

I think they eat the laundry detergent squares to get the taste of the toad ass out of their mouths.

Not sure though, I've never licked toad ass.

reply to post by butcherguy


It's not the toad's Ass you lick but the toad's Back. They excrete a powerful hallucinogenic, part of their natural defense system. Just rub your tongue over those bumpy warts a few times and they get sticky, it feels fun on the tongue. Put the toad back in his pen, throw him some bugs to eat, then sit back and enjoy the show.
I think that's how half of the threads on ATS get created around here.

It is so true they fist said Coke then '___' now it's '___' & Bath salts.They have know idea it way to early.I have the pic of the guys face but I did not want to get banned for uploading it - it is BAD....

Interesting stuff indeed. Seems like anytime people go bananas they blame it on drugs. I know that angel dust has caused people to do insane things, but bath salts? I have heard of people doing that, and synthetic marijuana, and having negative physical affects from it. However, not stripping naked and biting the hell out of others.

Don't ruin this for me, I want to shoot some damn zombies. Also, you know the PD isn't going to tell us it's zombies.

Im too old for fast zombies. LOL

Not to far from you so if you hear rifle cracks from the top of the water tower bring a truck so I can jump off.

I promise i'm not bitten......

No, they were not "dead". Their intestines were hot, from what I read, almost like on fire.

I live in St. Petersburg, FL. I would like to inform you all that people all over are getting sick, feeling very ill. I can't say that this is linked, however, this seems to be how it always starts in major film productions & video games

I would like to find out more about this, do you have any more info?

Okay, I just looked at the 'eaten face' photos on 'gawker'.

Dude made a real meal out of the guys head, truly nasty.
