    Ah but not if your wearing the protective gear your supposed to be:p.
    So we either shoot them or we can use them as a decoy I like the idea of if the horde is coming kneecap them and leave them there to get it from the zombies:D. Infact I would go to france find zombie henry and play a game of zombie football with his head hehe now that would be fun

    Great thread, great posts and a great place to look for some brillant ideas and theories about our Z day foes and how they go about there business.

    Z's tend not to use there sight and sound as much as smell, or so it seems. But if we look at this objectively an average human's sense of smell is not very good. Unless we are down wind of say, an animal with a strong enough odour, we would more then likely see it before we smell it.
    Of course it is different with cooking, you could smell that for miles if the fire was big enough.

    If it is taken as the Z's rely more on there smell then any other primal sense then we should really be testing how close to you have to be to a Z for him to be able to smell or sense you. I would guess very close, maybe 50ft or so at which range there sight or hearing might still be adequate enough to pick you out. It is something ive often wondered just how close you would have to be before a Z takes notice of you.

    I still believe the there sense of smell is there strongest assist and detecting people but how good is it? Worth a test I think if we could round up a Z.

    A good point on how far you need to be to be safe.My theory on the sense is the Max Brooks one in that zeds aren't sight dependant as we humans are so their sense of smell isn't any better they just pay more attention/utilise it more effectively then we do.

    So,who's up for catching a pet test subject?

    The thread is still growing :)

    I've heard some people use the words "impossbile, not likely and definately".

    These are all assumptions, we will be faced with a foe that was once deemed impossible exist. Therefore any suggestions over will the Z run/walk or die with it loses its head are null and void until such time we can test all these thories out (basis of this thread).

    I am loving the confidence thats brewing. We are moving away from surviving to winning the battle of the Z's. i am confident we here at boards are building up quite a lil master plan here and with the beginnings of Zombie Science protocols eventually the human race will win!
