Seven years on MacGyver and you cannot figure this out? We got belt buckles, shoe laces, and a piece of gum. Build a nuclear reactor for crying out loud.  You used to be MacGyver, MacGadget, MacGimmick, and now you are now 'Mr. MacUseless'.

I think some places would be taken over, but I doubt the whole world.
Now it's time to sing the nation anthem IN AMERICA!!!

Wouldn't it simply be a question of waiting until they fell apart from natural decomposition?
"Once you get past a certain threshold, everyone's problems are the same: fortifying your island and hiding the heat signature from your fusion reactor."

Plus,it would make a great plotline for "Scooby Doo Three"!!

Hey guys (& Susan & any other ladies here), where will we meet up when it does happen?
Plenty of space and not many people down here in Australia, (just watch out for Zombie Meryl Streep feeding the dingos) - you can all crash at my place.....
Brrrrrrrraaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnsssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

Sure they would, if they wanted to. i think it was Arthur C. Clarke the one that mentioned ther number of people that had lived and died before our generation. The numerical disadvantage would make any general pale.

If anybody knows the more or less exact number, please mention it, it could be interesting.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

Hummm....
Heres a point.
The Zombie is created by converting a normal person into a "Rotter". So...there is a 1 for 1 equasion here.
That means, If the humans get ahead in the "Conversion" process ( Head shots out numbering bite marks ), then a controled area could be established.
Take a town of, say, 20.000. Clear out the zombies in a 30 mile radius. Then after reloading the ammo, and scavaging for more, double the clearance radius. Repeat as often as possable.
And as humans give birth, the losses are replaced. In one generation, the zombies in a state like Ohio, could be redeaded, and the only way the rotters could win, is if the humans panic, and fail to use the brains ( Brains! ) we were given.
Corse, if the rotters exist because of evil goverment types playing God, then we may be boned.
And yes, i'm useing slow Z's for my thought. Fast Z's are a whole nother problim, as the speed of infection goes up exponentialy.

Flangepart, maybe one of your points there should become part 2 of this question - If zombies were to attack, what would the the most likely cause?

Evil Government (I'm looking at you, Mr Bush) - Evil Corporation - Act of God - Accident - Natural Disaster - Alien Attack - any other options?
Brrrrrrrraaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnsssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

Actually,I think the Zombies are already among us.Watch some of the "American Idol"Contestants!!Of course,Randy would say "Dawg!!Your'e going back to the Land of the Dead!!";Paula would say"You know,your'e not too bad of a Singer for a Zombie.You do need to learn to say something besides 'Brains!!"all the time,though.".And Simon would say,"I'm Sorry,But You Are A Zombie!!Your'e Nothing But A Walking Case For 'CSI'!!Now Just Go Back To Your Grave For Now and Come Back When Your'e Sure You Won't Stay Dead And You Can Say Something Besides'Brains!!'All The Time!!".

I don't get it, why can't we just call Bruce Campbell,  Hugh Jackman and Milla Jovovich when the zombies attack?

Neville

Because Bruce Campbell doesn't want to be typecast, Jackman would be on Broadway and Jojovich is too busy doing photoshoots for magazines.

We're on our own.

I think that the US military is so busy murdering Iraqies that they would not be able to react when the zombies invade them.

The Argentinian military, on the other hand, will deplect and launch a massive counterstrike for the simple reason that THEY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO.

What you saying is true, but keep in mind the equation would be a little skewed at first because it would probably take people a bit of time to realize zombie bites kill (especially if it happens over a few days) and plus there always gonna be nutballs who refuse to (re) kill their departed loved ones, regardless of what happens.

I think human survival instinct would make people instantly deduce that a zombie bite kills.

And people would realize that they departed loved ones are dead, and that that is just their CORPSES re-animated.
