EVERYONE knows that if it's zombies, you make a six-pointed star and stand inside it and they can't touch you.
And if it's warewolves, make the sign of the Cross.
Vampires it's squirtguns.
That's it! No more zombie threads ever! It's all solved! So neener!
Now, how about pirates? Hmmm?

pirates effin rock (the boat) !
I sailed competitively all through high school and a bit in college, the teams i sailed on were no rich kid private school teams, we were damn good, but our equipment and gear were sometimes a a little sketchy! in high school we would have pirate races to the island forts in the bay, where all the rules were barred and everything was allowed. we used to board each others boats, toss the crew out steal the sails and run! we all named our 'vessels' and ourselves, i sailed on the 'Black Beast' and our mascot so to speak was a cabbage patch doll me and my skipper found in the bay covered in oil, so we strung her up the mast by her hair cause it seemed like the most reasonable thing to do. I got the name GlitterTits from those days, i had just started belly dancing and the teams thought it was downright hilarious.

No no no. I was just getting a bit tired of zombies attacking. At this point I'm so good at (re)killing zombies that it's all quite boring. Like the 3-beat weave really, really fast. Oh sure, dismembering and destroying zombies is all impressive, but I'm ready to learn a new trick now.

Listen, you uneducated, ignorant schmuck. Zombies are DEAD. So they CAN'T die. Don't you know ANYTHING?
The only way to neutralize a zombie is to somehow incapacitate the body so that it cannot attack you. So you lop off its legs and then it can't chase you.
Honestly, the kids these days. Have to teach them EVERYTHING...

Weren't the pirates from "Pirates of the Carribean" more or less zombie-pirates? To be honest, I can't quite remember, I was rather tipsy at the time (apparently my grasp of the plot was as good as the next persons - which happened to be my fiancee who was also a few red wines past her best-before ) Just looking for any excuse for a zombie-pirates thread. Now we just need to link in evil-dead kittens...

Not really. They were more undead. See, zombies are reanimated dead corpses controlled by a living person, typically some sort of witch/warlock/sorcerer/sysadmin.
Undead are people who by all rights should be dead but are somehow unable to die. Unlike being immortal, being undead is apparently unpleasant because you can't eat and you can't sleep and you can't really satisfy any physical need and you just want to die to stop the eternal hunger and eternal thirst and eternal horniness (Pirates actually alluded to this).
In the WoW version of being undead, you're just an animated corpse that can breathe underwater. And you can eat AND die, but you apparently don't feel those annoying physical urges; you just happen to be happy to be alive in a decaying corpse or something. Which I find curious.

A zombie is DEAD. So it doesn't NEED a head unless it's going to bite you. It needs arms and legs to walk around and try to kill you and it needs a torso to keep said things together.
To understand what a TRUE zombie is, watch STARDUST. The prince that the witch kills in the final fight scene becomes a zombie when she uses him in the swordfight. The hero stabs him through the heart but it does no good because he's already dead.

It does no good, because the zombie was stabbed by a mere mortal. However, had a ninja been the hero in the movie, he would have triumphed after the first problem he encountered, with some serious flipping out and killing, making for an intensely action packed movie, albeit lasting only a few seconds.

correlation does not imply causation; just because stabbing the zombie through the heart did not "kill it" (yes, because they're already dead), does not mean they cannot be incapacitated via means other than removing their means of locomotion.
to kill a zombie, you destroy their brain (or remove it); everyone knows that, mike...

No no no. If you're dead and simply a reanimated corpse, there is no need for a brain as the brain is not working. In fact, the entire body is controlled by magic (or a bunch of government bureaucrats). Yet, while a zombie's arm, if chopped off, could continue to move, it somehow can't defy the laws of physics and actually jump off the ground and continue a swordfight.
The modern movie version of a "zombie" as being this rotting corpse with some sort of warped free will and a desire to kill and eat human flesh is more akin to a sort of undead than a true zombie.
See, you are taking the word of Russo and Romero, who just invented these false "zombies." A real zombie is a Voodoo act and with God as my witness*, the true definition of a zombie!
