      Definitely! I once saw a David Attenborough programme that showed insects whose behaviour was completely taken over by a fungus. These are genuine zombies. Perhaps one day there will be a disease that does something similar to humans (I think rabies can be pretty bad, so we’re not far off).

      Hopefully not though.

      I hope not. Would be well scary. Some towns have made emergency plans for if there is a zombie invasion, and the US government has an advisory page: http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2011/05/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse/

      It wasn’t even written on 1st April!
