Brings up a new scenario. What if, when locked up in your house, you run out of food and you can't go outside? Will you start eating the other people locked up with you?

The 21-year-old college student allegedly told detectives that he hadn't just killed the man who'd lived with his family for months, but had eaten his heart and portions of his brain. The victim's severed head and hands were found in the men's Harford County home; more remains were left in a trash container outside a church.

Authorities outlined the macabre circumstances Thursday in charges against Alexander Kinyua, an electrical engineering major at Morgan State University and member of his school's ROTC program, of first-degree murder in the death of 37-year-old Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, a Ghanaian national and a former master's degree student.

Kinyua's father reported that Agyei-Kodie went missing last Friday after going for a jog, but the investigation eventually led back to the family home. Kinyua was being held Thursday without bond, and authorities were exploring whether others participated in the crime or knew about it, based on what they called inconsistencies in statements made by the suspect's family.

Harford authorities said the killing was among the most brutal — and bizarre — they'd seen. The case comes on the heels of grisly incidents in Miami — where a naked man believed to be high on synthetic drugs known as "bath salts" ate another man's face — and New Jersey, where a man disemboweled himself and reportedly threw his intestines at police officers.

Surving a zombie apocalypse will actually be easy IF you anticipate it.

As, according to popular theories, a zombie is nothing more than a reanimated corspe, it is susceptible to the natural process of decomposition. In the open air blow flies will land on a corpse within 10 minutes of death and will lay upwards of 300 eggs. Within 20 hours maggots will hatch from these eggs. These maggots will then begin to devour the corpse. Maggots can eat up to 60% of the average adult male's flesh within a week. What this means is that a male corpse that has lost 60% of it's meat will be practically immobile within the week while the corpses of women (on average smaller than a man) and childern (obviosuly smaller than a mane) will be all but gone. All this ensures that an unburied corpse will decomopose at nearly four times the rate of a buried corpse and will not be much of a problem by the end of the week. An added bonus of living in Africa - and especially Natal - is the hotter climate and high humidity - in Natal's case - will only serve to further accelerate the process of decomposition.

We can surmise that infection in densely populated areas will start off slowly before an uncontrolled outbreak begins due to the close proximity of victims. Infections in cities and suburbs will accelarate to the point where people are infecetd within seconds, minutes, hours and days of each other. This means the onset of decomposition in all zombified people will begin within a short time of one another as well. Even if the mass outbreak takes two weeks to overwhelm the population in an area, within 3 weeks the vast majority of the infected will be disposed of by our friends, the maggots. That will leave late infectees and the partially mobile corpses of larger adults as your only problem, but the bulk of them will be gone.

So, all you need to do is anticipate it. Look for early signs; dodgy stories of cannibalism, disappearances, increase in police dealing with crazed suspects, strange new sickness, the presence of governmental disease agencies. Once this starts, start stockpiling on non-perishable food. At least enough for a month, but I doubt you'd even need to stay holed up that long. Buy large volumes of water, in case services are interupted. Batteries, torches, gas canisters too. And get a pair or two of high-ankled, thick soled, durabe boots. Then reinforce your house. Living in South Africa we would be luck as we already have burglar bars, security gates and high walls, so we'd just have to move cupboards and large objects over windows and doors. And a battery powered radio, get one of those. And loads of batteries. This will be your connection to the outside world.

Once things start becoming obvious, retreat into your house. Sit back and try and remain calm amid the shouting, shooting and general sounds of destruction outside. If you are in a densely populated are you be able to leave your property within 2 weeks, albeit cautiously, as being in a densely populated area would mean you'd be near the epicentre of the infection area and it would have been cleared out by our friendly maggots by now. Earliest to be infected, earliest to be dispsoed of. Make sure you are wearing your boots, a pair of jeans and a durable jacket when you start moving about as you don't want to step onto a corpse in your shorts, t-shirts and plaakies and risk infection. If you have a gun, take it, but if not, a shovel or any object of manageable weight that can crush/sever a head should be carried. The outskirts of population areas will still be hot, so stay away, but the epicentre of the outbreak should be almost calm. Within 3 weeks movement should become easier, BUT still stay sharp. You don't want to have come this far and end up stumbling into a zombie because you're being a dumba$$. Now would be a good time to visit the now deserted stores as your supplies should be nearing the end. Within a month the remnants of law enforcement, military and government structures should start regaining order (Okay, maybe not in South Africa. . .), but normality should be returning.

So, how to survive a zombie apocalypse;
- Look beyond face value when strange things - cannibalism, crazed suspects given the police problems, new illness - occur/are happening around you.
- Once you start becoming aware of the above, get ready. Stockpile supplies.
- Once it's obvious, get home fast and start reinforcing your home. As mentioned, living in SA, we already have most of this covered. :)
- Stay put.
- Start apologising to all those flies you murdered, swatting them and spraying them with Doom, as their children are now saving your a$$.
- Be sharp once things go quiet and you head out. Check your radio frequently for reports and updates.
- Don't be a dumba$$! Dumba$$es die. Don't run around like a cowboy that just conquered the West either. Be smart, cautious and sharp.

I have waaaaaaaay too much time on my hands today.

Pruned a bit, hope you don't mind :)

You forgot what the Walking Dead taught us, don't trust your fellow survivors and especially not your wife with your best friend :)
 
i think people are stretching the term "zombie" :p they have to be dead first, and have to have people's strange interests and ideas put aside.

this is nothing new
 
'Zombie attack' triggers drug alarm

http://www.news24.com/World/News/Zombie-attack-triggers-drug-alarm-20120608

Washington - Cloud Nine and other synthetic drugs known as "bath salts" can induce anything from a sense of relaxation to full-on panic attacks and seizures. But how about a zombie-like taste for human flesh?

Law enforcement officials in Miami feel it's possible, saying Cloud Nine might have driven a growling naked aggressor to literally chew off most of a homeless man's face before being shot and killed by police.

"We have to wait for the tox [toxicology] reports to say that for sure," Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) spokesperson Barbara Carreno said on Thursday as national media shine a spotlight on Cloud Nine and other similar drugs.

"But certainly, you do see a lot of this kind of bizarre behaviour," she said. "These chemicals are very dangerous. You'll find people who use them who will say, 'Boy, I'm never doing that again. That was scary'."

Cloud Nine is one of many appellations - others are Ivory Wave, Vanilla Sky and White Lightning - for synthetic stimulants known as "bath salts" containing derivatives of a brain stimulant called cathinone.

Now banned in several states, and listed as a controlled substance by the DEA since October 2011, Cloud Nine could previously be legally purchased in "head shops" selling drug paraphernalia, convenience stores and gas stations, as well as online.

Relation, mild seizures

"It would sell for between $18 to $40 per unit," TG, who works at a head shop in downtown Washington that used to sell Cloud Nine, said on condition that his full name not be used.

Who bought it? "Homeless guys, lawyers, anyone, from 18 to 75," he said. "That was the strange part. They figured it was something that could alter their minds without breaking the law."

TG never used Cloud Nine himself, but from others who did, he said, "I've heard of varying effects from relaxation to mild seizures."

In a fact sheet, the DEA lists potential effects as "agitation, insomnia, irritability, dizziness, depression, paranoia, delusions, suicidal thoughts, seizures and panic attacks".

Cannibalism didn't make the cut. But police in Miami suspect Rudy Eugene, aged 31, was high on "bath salts" when he tried to bite the face off of a barely conscious homeless man before he was shot and killed.

In another incident, also in Miami, a 21-year-old man, allegedly on Cloud Nine, burst into a restaurant shouting obscenities, and tried to bite the hand off a police officer.

25% reported

"Please be careful when dealing with the homeless population," the North Miami Beach police department told its officers. It also urged the public to immediately report anyone who might be on Cloud Nine.

Mark Ryan, director of the Louisiana state poison centre and an expert on synthetic drugs, said "bath salts" - made with imported chemicals - first appeared in the United States in 2010, "and then in 2011, it just went nuts".

"We went from 300-plus cases reported across the United States to poison centres in 2010 to over 6 000 in 2011," he said in a telephone interview.

"And all the cases don't get reported to poison centres, so that probably represents maybe 25% of what was really out there."

Ryan recalled cases in which Cloud Nine led to "naked people jumping out windows and climbing flag poles" and, in Louisiana, a suicide in which the victim shot himself a day after trying to slit his own throat.

"We had [another] report from police of a guy barricaded in the attic of his home with a shotgun, saying: 'There are aliens up here. I've got to kill them before they can get me and my family'," Ryan said.

"Then there was somebody who went out into the yard and turned around and began shooting at the house because there were 'demons' in there."

"We've seen a number of quite bizarre things happening," Ryan said, so the notion of someone on Cloud Nine developing a taste for human flesh "is definitely in the realm of possibility".
