An idea for a new twist on Zombies

Just read this article Perfect micro rings woven from muscle fibers: Biological model system that dead-ends in an 'absorbing state' -- ScienceDaily and when I was done, I was thinking of zombies - specifically, of some dischevelled scientific dude breathlessly explaining how the zombification came about or how muscle relaxants could stop zombies (or something of the sort…).

Since I’m not gonna do anything with this idea, I thought I’d throw it out there - might make a good story for a comic book or gasp a screenplay!

I’m confused. What does any of this have to do with zombies? What is your “idea for a new twist on zombies,” exactly?

…maybe creating a thread that automatically turns into one?..
