This post was published in 2010, so are research isn’t “starting to slack” – I guess it’s been slacking for a long time! Sorry you didn’t like it.

your research is starting to really slack, this post also lacks some basic common sense regarding rigor and all zombies being affected at the same time

rigor mortis is not an unknown reaction, great study has gone into it

One word: Walmart. My couson said walmart because you can baracade it with the shelves.
Food+Shelter+Air+Water+Weapons+Survivers=Survival. Dont forget the Survival Rule of Threes: 1. Your Dead Without Three Minutes of Air. 2. Your Dead Without Three Hours of Shelter 3. Your Dead Without Three Days of Water. 4. Your Dead Without Three Weeks of Food. I think thats how it goes.

Modern medicine actually has a very good understanding of why rigor mortis sets in, muscle fibers contract, then use atp to break the connection, thus resetting the muscle so it can contract again, when you die your body obviously stops producing atp, so the muscles contract but are unable to loosen. Rigor mortis goes away after microbes have decomposed the body enough…if you actually expect to be taken slightly serious should actually do some basic research into biology before stating random fallacies.

I posted in an earlier blog about whether there would be slow zombies or fast zombies. Now that this theory has been brought up, I now realize that there may be both. Fast at first. Then Slow (because of rigor mortis). Then back to fast, after it has worn off. Now I have to revise my escape plan.

Well should in the impending Zombie Apocalypse, zombies be temporarily held up by rigor, it would be a great time to take out the All Terrain Zombie Proof Vehicle and do some zombie speed-bump testing on it’s chassis and suspension.

It’s actually my understanding that modern medicine has no explanation for why rigor happens, and why it then fades away in a matter of hours. It is a bit of a mystery itself, I believe.

Hey there ZRS I love the site! From what I understand the rigor in the joints and muscles is because the biochemical chain reaction that causes a living person’s muscles to move, stops working when someone dies. When the reaction stops, the muscles and joints eventually become locked in place. If a zombie bite victim were to become a zombie immediately or even within a few hours and subsequent movement of the joints would begin again, the rigor process could be stopped.

i see what u are sayinhg spacepope but to hold up ina mall i think is a bad idea because a mall is so big and you couldn’t defend it all that well unless it was an outlet mall were the shops are all small and spread apart b ut what you said is totally right you should stay in your house until you are forced to evacuate

as people would be infected at a different time from the next, no one could ever time an escape based around this because every zombie would have a different time of rigor mortis
