Watched a zombie movie the other day, and started thinking about all the other zombie movies I've ever seen.
The conventional movie zombie is known to eat brains, everyone knows this, sometimes even moaning "Brains" mournfully, as they hunt for people, but you never see a zombie eating a brain, in any movie that I can think of.
They always usually go for arms or legs, and dig into people's stomachs and chest cavities, but you never see zombies cracking peoples' heads open like coconuts and getting at the brains.
Which, actually, makes sense. The only way to 'kill' a zombie is to utterly destroy the body, or destroy the brain. So if a zombie were to attack a human, kill him or her, and destroy the brain, that would keep the human from becoming a zombie.
I think the zombies know this. The only way they can become more numerous is to leave the brain alone.
I think they don't even like brains.
These truly are misunderstood creatures.
