Archaeology.org, an actual online journal for Archeology, has a well written article on the Max-Brooks cited Zombie attack on the ancient Egyptian city of Hierakonpolis.
"Recent work at Hierakonpolis has, however, revealed compelling evidence that zombies may have been problematic already in Predynastic Egypt (ca. 3500 B.C.). Because this work has been undertaken with the most modern techniques, there is also the potential to uncover the hard scientific facts to illuminate the matter fully."
CyberPunkFuture has reviewed Cormac McCarthy's book "The Road".
"A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other."

Knitter Hannah Simpson has knitted many horror films characters over the last few years, including characters from Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead and an awesome Tom Savini. You can also buy photocards of the Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead knitted figures at her Etsy store. Wow…just awesome."

A study from the University of Maryland has found that two proteins in certain foods (like corn, rice, and beans) help protect DNA from the effects of radiation.
"The two substances may ``offer protection against both acute and long-term effects of not only solar, but also cosmic, nuclear and other forms of radiation,'' said Abulkalam Shamsuddin, who led the research at the university's medical school."
So eat your Wheaties and have a rice and bean burrito for lunch knowing that although it might be bad for you, it'll help keep you from growing an extra head when the bombs drop.
"Two physicists examine certain features of popular myths regarding ghosts, vampires, and zombies as they appear in film and folklore."
You can skip all the junk about Vamp's and Ghosts and jump straight into the Zombie section. They have a good summary of what the traditional VooDoo zombies were and how they were created.
