Scientists Turn Cockroaches Into Zombie Slaves
Friday , November 30, 2007

Israeli scientists have figured out how to turn cockroaches into zombie slaves.

They're replicated the mysterious power of the jewel wasp, also known as the emerald cockroach wasp, which incorporates the cockroach into its reproductive cycle in a most gruesome way.

Most parasitic wasps paralyze their victims, but the jewel wasp's sting mysteriously leaves a cockroach able to walk, yet robbed of all free will.

The wasp leads the zombie roach back to its lair, lays an egg in the poor creature and then lets the wasp larva eat the roach alive from the inside out.

The Israeli team, led by Frederic Libersat of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, discovered that a synthetic form of the neurotransmitter octopamine freed stung cockroaches from their zombie-like state.

They then injected other roaches with compounds that blocked octopamine -- and turned them into docile zombies.

The study was documented in the Journal of Experimental Biology

....perhaps i should dig out my .38

[S13SilviaGirl]

Where is Exitspeed?????

[SimpleSexy180]

HE DIED ALREADY. he is a zombie now.

[Helghast]

RUN FOR THE HILLS!!


oh god, it's too late.

[DRavenS13]

I can't understand why you would want to make zombies.

Don't we have enough drug-addicts? It's the same thing.

[Aoshi112]

Time to lock and load!

[KwKouki]

Exitspeed is busy loading up the bunker, I am preparing for a full scale assault. We need to be ahead of the game....y'know

[brndck]

somebody tell this guy

[Farzam]

FUCK, THIS IS OCCURING EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. Grab all your children and make it out to sea, make sure NOTHING living is in your vessel other than you and your loved ones! The apocolypse is coming!

[DoriftoPnoy]

and it starts with the cockroaches....

[Antihero983]

but this is a step towards crazier chemical warfare. and think about it, you cant scare a zombie. you cant bring the morale down of a zombie. druggies can freak out or O.D.

[IIIXziuR]

Pretty awesome...
the onslaught will happen sure enough

Shotgun? Check.
.45? Check
AK? Check
Grenades? Check
Various other weaponry (knives, C4 etc.)? Check
Zombie Survival Test passed? Check (Got 85%... and only lost that 15% cause I go back for friends who aren't prepared like me.)

Now all I need are the zombies.

Time to get fucked up!

[brndck]

2 questions.
#1 what do vegetarian zombies eat?
GRAINS!!!
#2 what happens when a zombie eats a retards brains?
(i don't know the answer to this one)

[89dc240]

Oh Fuck. Well, I'm gonna go out with a bang, if I should be so unfortunate.

It's gonna happen.

I can see it now.
Soon they will be testing it on mice, claiming that there could be some medical benefits and then the human testing will begin.

Things will go terribly wrong and one of the "test subjects" will escape and it's the beginning of the end.

Where is this survival test you speak of?

Someone said it earlier, WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT TO MAKE ZOMBIES?!

[ThatGuy]

Most of you guys are lucky. If your towns get hit, it's just a bunch of regular Zombies you have to deal with.

If this town gets hit, it's a bunch of Zombies that were trained killers before they got bitten. Marine Zombies are gonna suck!!

[Antihero983]

eh explosives arent a good idea, remember, if it doesnt kill the head, its worthless. grenades dont always decimate a whole human, its the shrapnel that does the most damage, and you cant control where the shrapnel goes.

your weapons line up would attract too much attention.

sheesh hasnt anyone read the survival guide?

and where the fuck is exitspeed on this?!

mel please tell me you read the survival guide....

[ThatGuy]

Mel helped write the survival guide.

I'm figuring on using a 12 gauge pump-action, with a machete duct taped to the end. If they get inside the blast, a quick swing takes off the head. Simple, effective, inexpensive.

[mRclARK1]

Just google zombie survival test and you should be able to find it.

But don't zombies pretty much lose all their mental abilities when they're zombified and basically just run on a feeding instinct? That should make you ok. :bigok: ... not to mention that any capable military (or former) personell should be skilled enough to avoid being zombified. :coolugh:

Did you just use "mental abilities" and "military personnel" in the same thought?

You haven't spent much time around US Marines, have you. :keke:

Hell, half the infantry guys I know would probably volunteer to be bitten, just so they would be tougher to kill.
It's a bit :loco: and :rawk: at the same time.

too loud, it will attract more.

you need a decent caliber gun with a silencer.

There is no "decent caliber weapon" that can remove a head like a 12 gauge and still be "compensated". A compensated .50BMG is still louder then an M16. If you're worried about stealth kills, stick to the machete. If you want quick and dead, squeeze trigger, pump in new round, select next head to a'splode.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Never before has this picture been more relevant:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/OppositeLock/1191477863249.jpg

Movie-silent guns that actually have any power except at close range do not exist. You need a subsonic round, and it has to be small. A .22LR can be silenced fairly well, but if you want truly quiet you pop in a .22 CB or an Aguila and get knife close, because they'll glance off the skull easily. A suppressed 9mm is still about as loud as an unsilenced .22LR, typically. The MP5SD6's suppressor is extremely efficient, though, and I've heard from those who have shot it that the bolt sliding back makes more noise.

I'd like a PS90 for close-in, high-rate-of-fire stuff because it'll punch through a few heads before even thinking about stopping, although an AR chambered in .450 Bushmaster or .458 SOCOM would be nice, too. As always, a 12-gauge is necessary, so I'd choose a Valtro PM5 so I can reload faster than with an 870 or 590. Sidearm would have to be a Para PXT double-stack .40 for slightly faster follow-up than a .45 and two more rounds per mag. Backup would be a S&W Model 638 in .38 +P.

I think aluminum chain mail would protect extremely well against bites while not being particularly cumbersome.

If you want long-range silent, something chambered in .300 Whisper (imagine a .45 ACP's energy with longer range and you get the idea) equipped with a noise suppressor fired from beside a tree (deflects sound and hides position) and you'd have a bunch of very confused, very dead zombies.

Sometimes, I think too much.

[cgtdream]

mmmmm.....brainnnnns

[SimpleSexy180]

and it starts with the cockroaches....

remember...cockroaches...they were here when dinosaurs were running around.


as for silencers..i love them.

Yeah, most probably would, but don't zombies have an IQ of like... I don't know... 10. Surely your average Marine must have a higher IQ then that. :keke:

Well on second thought... probably not.

OH SNAP!



I kid I kid.

EDIT: I find an incredible amount of irony in the fact that my buddy I will be polishing off some beers with tonight is a former Marine. :rofl:

[Matej]

This scientific breakthrough is great news for militant countries and sweatshop workers.


But it's not like they'll attack others and turn them into zombies by biting them, unless they're "engineered" to...

[Edgar]

remember those plans we made zilvia


time to make it happened

[eds13]

ROFL!

meaassageee

[Turtle]

Dawn of the dead or Shawn of the dead zombies?:bite:

[KA24DESOneThree]

I must make a correction to my above post: 5.7 is made to penetrate body armor but tumble in flesh, so it wouldn't punch through many heads.

I change my mind to solely the .458 SOCOM.

[Turtle]

Ha ha that video is so fake... They flip the roach with a stick... =]

[Silkroad FC]

Wow, that's pretty intense. Thank god there's a mall nearby;)

[BOROSUN]

hells yea for 12gauges! its the only way to disperse close mutlipul zombies attacks or clearing thru hordes of zombies. sometimes you have no time to aim. i would love to have exploding shells also.

and maybe this gun

Since it may have been overlooked in the other thread. Here's my Zombie Bunker.

It's not pretty but it'll do the job.

wait? you're seriously building a "zombie bunker?" wow. I thought people were just joking around with this lol.

It was there already. I just found a good use for it. You won't be lol'ing when your brains are being eaten and then I have to chop your head off. :squint: JK:loco:

[s13silvia03]

Awesome zombie bunker:bowdown:

I have to find a way to save my brains when the chaos ensues:squintd:


Is Mel a mod now!! Congrats!:w00t:

[Antihero983]

if zomibes attack i'm making my way out there mel, i read the zombie survivaly guide, so i'd actually be useful....

[exitspeed]

if zomibes attack i'm making my way out there mel, i read the zombie survivaly guide, so i'd actually be useful....

We'll be there for 5 days, then we make our way up North. We actually have a whole plan.

So if you can make it to me within 5 days, NP. :rawk:

[Antihero983]

hells yeah. i'd keep my eyes open for the signs of something big about to happen and leave early.

[deadpirate]

i have multiple bunkers in and around the riverside area. found them as a child. they are still there. if /when shit goes down. im heading there first. and gathering the necessary supplies. then im headed north to meet up with exitspeed and any other survivors

[Yuri]

Okay, first off;
So far the zombies aren't contagious.
So you don't have to worry about biting and blood causing infections of zombieism.

Second, if you did... Katanas?
Have you not read the zombie survival handbook?
You basically have to go for the neck, and blood goes everywhere.

If you're smart, and not stuck in KILL BILL mode, you'll know it's all about the Blunt Force Trauma.

[exitspeed]

This is what I posted in the other thread. It's an explaination about the bunker and our plan.

It's the attic of our house. The only access point is in the garage up the vertical ladder. There's sheets of Plywood up there that I can use to barricade spacing int he house off so we can still safely access them. The bathroom isn't far away so I thought about knocking a hole int he ceiling and then boarding up the window and door to give us access to that. We also have a roll up ladder. This is however only temporary, like 4-5 days. After that when the some of the chaos dies down (no pun intended) we hop in our car and head up North to Nicole's grandma's house. She lives in the Northwoods of WI where there's very few people. Her house is located on the shores of a small lake called Long Lake. The house is also built on a penninsula. So we only need to worry about protecting ourselves from one side. And since my father-in-law goes hunting up there once a year (grandma lives there all year though) it's stock full of GNA, that's Guns-N-Ammo.

[KA24DESOneThree]

S&W .500 Magnum... Accept no substitutes!

Yeah, if you like wheelguns that deafen you and thump the shit out of your forearms, causing you to be less accurate when it counts.

.500 S&W commercial ammo makes around 1800ft-lbf of energy at the muzzle, versus .458 SOCOM commercial ammo at around 2400ft-lbf. The two aren't really comparable anyway, one being a handgun round and the other a rifle round.

I'd rather 16+1 shots of .40 to the 5 shots of a .500 S&W.

[S13SilviaGirl]

wait? you're seriously building a "zombie bunker?" wow. I thought people were just joking around with this lol.

Mel is 100% serious...100% of the time. You can't fuck around with zombies.... :squint:

[Antihero983]

i should be ok at first, i live on the second floor of a two floor apt. building, and all the other tenants are old, so theyll flee, and leave me and my gf to defend our ish, for like 2 days, from there? i go to mel's. from there? whereever mel says is best.
