http://www.cracked.com/article_15643_5-scientific-reasons-zombie-apocalypse-could-actually-happen.html
Quote:
What is definitely true is the story of Clairvius Narcisse. He was a Haitian guy who was declared dead by two doctors and buried in 1962. They found him wandering around the village 18 years later. It turned out the local voodoo priests had been using naturally occurring chemicals to basically zombify people and putting them to work on the sugar plantations (no, really).

Why the hell does science have to go and analyse this.
Zombies are entertainment, nothing more.
Until the day we figure out how to revive a dead body, zombies are only for the sake of creating a cool shoot em all movie

LloydChristmas said: But then they have a contradictory article...
the one you posted is about ways actual walking dead people won't be able to survive. the one i posted is ways you could be made to act like a zombie while alive.
except for the last one though which is interesting.

According to studies, within a decade they'll have nanobots that can crawl inside your brain and set up neural connections to replace damaged ones. That's right; the nanobots will be able to rewire your thoughts.
Some day there will be nanobots in your brain. Those nanobots will be programmed to keep functioning after you die. They can form their own neural pathways, meaning they can use your brain to keep operating your limbs after you've deceased and, presumably, right up until you rot to pieces in mid-stride.
