Overthinking zombies is kind of fun

I enjoy well-told  zombie stories, regardless of their format. Recent zombie stories that I have enjoyed were Zombieland and the book Feed, by Mira Grant. I like the idea behind zombie plots, namely that dead is not always dead, and that lingering in some not-human form isn’t necessarily better than being truly dead. These two works took totally different views of zombiedom, both in terms of how zombies are made and their capabilities, but I enjoyed each of them a lot. Feed, in particular, struck me as one of the standout books for 2010. No, I’m not exaggerating, but then again, I have strange taste in books.

Anyway, although it probably sounds like I do, I do not in fact spend much time thinking about zombies. This guy does, though, and his multi-part post that considers the implications behind the SPEED of zombie movement in different movies puts my zombie-pondering to shame.
