"ZOMBIES"
Hey man, I used to see zombies all the time in my hood. . .
especially friday night -- saturday morning ![[Very Happy]](images/smiles/smiley4.gif "Very Happy")
HE HE HE, nah ~~> back to serious . . . Zombies are supposed to be
somewhere between the dead and the living. The practice of Zombification
are attached to some of the rituals practice is areas like West Africa, Brazil
and Hispaniola (Haiti/Dominican Republic). Voodoo witchcraft some would
call it. In Mexico, some forms of it are attached to Santeria, a mixture of
African, Native-American/Mexican & Roman Catholocism, all rolled up into
one crazy ass cult. . Zombies are said to be normally the victims of some-
ones evil minded jealousy or the victims of those who covets something
from their victims ~~> such as land or and inheritance. These Zombies
are said to be given some sort of spell or poison that puts them in a trance
and to give the apperance of having died, even doctors are said to have
been fooled into the belief that the person was dead. The fact that Zombies
are indeed a part of both superstitious folklore and religious practice, and
many cases have been brought forth as proof of its true existance, spurred
the scientifiec, medical and pharmaceutical community into the search for
its veracity and a quest for obtainig the poison which is said to be used to
make zombies out of people. This dude went on a seach and was able to
find and buy (after much trial and failure) a recipe from the voodoo doc's
and in that potion, there was the inclusin of such venoms such as that from
a very toxic typre of toad and the puffer fish as well. This powder like
venom was sprinkled on the dirt entry way to a peasants hut/house and
the bare foot person os said house,upon walking thru and stepping on
this dusty/powdery venom ~~> would fall ill and eventually die from it.
But people around did not know what this person would fall ill of, and they
attributed the sickness and death to "zombism". After the person was dead
and buried, the culprit who then go back to the gravesite at night & unbury
the suppodsedly dead person and then inject them with the anti-dote, but
when the person came back to the world of the living, the person remained
in a vegetative state because of the damage done to the brain by the og
poison, therefore, even though the person was alive, his brain was stayed
in a retard state, hence the reasons for being called Zombies "living dead"
This research was documented in a book titled "The Serpent & The Rainbow"
later it was made into a movie, but the movie did not come even close to
the book. Anyhows, I found it real interesting. Thought you might too.
BTW:
This is basically the same argument that some claim to be the real story
behind the LORD JESUS resurrection. That he did not die, but was given
some sort of anestesia or something similiar when He was given to drink
from that wet cloth that was raised up to his lips when He was up on the
cross. Suppodsedly, that accounts for both; 1) His death coming so quick
upon the cross, when others who had undergone crussifixion lasted days;
and 2) Since He was merely in a state of deep sleep (kinda like zombies)
when he woke up, He was then able to walk out of the tomb with some help
from his followers.

How crazy is that. I never heard of it.. I'll have to check out the book if I ever get the time.
Thanks for the recommendation, It definitely sounds interesting... got me browsing wikipedia.com for related sources.
