Zombie Apocalypse
In Cracked.com’s, “five scientific reasons the zombie apocalypse could actually happen,” by TE Sloth and David Wong. They list and cover some legitimate reasons it is actually quite possible and not the typical ‘ho hum’ “that could never happen” type of scenario to support their hypothesis.
Zombies a reality, really? People have debated whether or not it is a conceivable theory for decades. As years pass our technology continues to advance at a rapid pace only gaining momentum.

We as the general public wouldn’t know until its too late. Don’t let your brain be zombie candy, be prepared!
Parasites that take control of their victims are, surprise, fairly common. Consider the parasite toxoplasmosa gondii, half of earths human population is already infected with this parasite(not a comforting or pleasant thought especially for whats coming up (). toxoplasmosa gondii seems to be particularly horrible, it is devoted to taking the “be fruitful and multiply” to new extremes, well for itself anyways… not so much the host. See the pest infects pests like birds and rats, however the only place the parasite can breed is inside the cats intestines.

What does this have to do with us becoming zombies? I’m glad you asked. Remember how one in two of us are infected already, well what happens when it evolves? After all humans and rats aren’t too different genetically, that’s why there subjected to testing products designed for us. Maybe toxoplasmosa would fancy large cats like bobcats, mountain lions etc. better. Hey the bird and swine flu have evolved, they said people can become crazed if they consume the ‘mad cow’ diseased meat, and all life forms must adapt and overcome or face extinction across the
