_ **Kill** _ her? Nonono… **harmless** is much to entertaining to have around. Besides, _Zom-Be-Gone_ is zombie _repellant_, not zombie poison. I wasn’t looking to kill her…just chase her away for awhile. 🙂 Don’t you worry. I’m not about to be letting _any_ of you suckas win. 😛 ---

[Others seem to disagree.](http://www.geocities.com/thejamesonomicon/zombie.html) > [@](#): > > HOW TO KILL A ZOMBIE > Almost all zombie’s can be killed in the same manner, but it is’nt as simple as that. Here’s how: > > NORMAL, EVERYDAY ZOMBIE’S:A good whack in the skull with a, prefrablly heavy, blunt object will do the job. But just in case, you should dismember the body too. > > VOODOO ZOMBIE’S: These zombie’s are a little tougher. Total dismemberment plus the blunt object to the skull will do it. Also if you kill the person who put the zombie curse on em or if you take it off yourself, that will also stop them. > > CHEMICALLY CREATED ZOMBIE’S: These zombie’s can only be killed by one known means: Electrocution. Hacking 'em up, like the other zombie’s, will only slow them down, but this method can also buy you time until you find an electrical source. > > GENETICALLY ENGENEARED ZOMBIE’S:Basically anything will do it, but your best bet is to do it two or three times in a row to stop these baddies! Basically your screwed if you come face to face with even one of 'em! _grabs shotgun_ ---
