So I found this little interesting bit of information, it is about 5 pages long, one page for each reason.
It talks about how zombies could actually occur, how they have already occurred, and gives some slight scientific evidence for each. If anything its a fun read. Does have some gore, but we are talking about zombies here.
Consider before reading though, that zombie does not equal undead, but mindless.
The links to the next 4 pages are under the zombie threat system, it took me a while to find it.

They include brain parasites, even got you a youtube link to a parasite similar to the one in the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWB_COSUXMw
Neurotoxins (the stuff that makes your day go real bad when you eat poorly prepared blowfish)
Rage Virus (like Madcow disease)
Neurogenesis (stem cell research)

Ha ha hee hee ho ho, but seriously who doesn't love zombies?
And of course if any of you would bother to even look at the article, they do have examples of how zombies have literally already happened, especially in the neurotoxin example, as a matter of fact it tells you that the word zombie originated from that zombie labor camp that is elaborated on

I read it, though the ability to reanimate to zombie is unlikely. However the "rage virus"(28 days) is the most likely, but that will only happen if Darkfall is cancelled

7 years of built up anticipation dropped? Ya, I can see what you mean there.....
I seriously don't see a zombie apocalypse actually happening either, but the fact that there is the potential out there to do it is pretty cool.....

If it makes you feel any better only 3 out the 5 possibilities for zombies would more than likely be hostile

Truth to that. Especially Matriel and all those guns...
Zombies would be nuts though...However I have a feeling none of us would survive

Okay I have to admit, I think a worse apocolypse to fight personally would be the reavers from firefly, they at least have some intelligence behind their massacring and Cannabilism.

Not if you are actually replying to them. It's when dumb asses bump it with, "necroed" or something equally as stupid.

yes, but they weren't literally undead, and gory, and tried to eat brains, etc....
fantasy appears to affect even whacked scientists. interesting.

Dude, don't you get it? WE'RE THE ZOMBIES, MAN!!!1 All of us. Consumers. We're killing each other mindlessly, man. Like, without even thinking about it, man.
That's the whole point of every (worthwhile) zombie story ever made, man.

I did use search, granted I only went back for like 5 pages, but I'm not checking every thread that ever used the word zombie on the off chance that someone made it 3 months ago, and in 3 months the population on these forums have skyrocketed so plenty of people haven't seen this.
I am doing a service to America be spreading word of the Zombie Apocalypse!! Everyone must buy Max Brook's amazing zombie books!!! The government will need "World War Z" to properly prepare and civilians need the Zombie Survival Guide!!!

They talk about exactly that in the neurotoxins section

Cool. Didn't read it all, just watched the youtube video.
But don't worry, we don't need to be zombies with all the "brainfood" they are feeding us with. We'll be dead inside without some insects or vodoo "magic".

Its ok... no one is here to judge you, just remember that only 4 out those 5 would be fast and only 3 out of those 4 would most definitely be out to kill you......
