I’m glad to hear that reports of your death were greatly exaggerated. ---

I hate to be a downer, but…has anyone considered…THIS??? Originally Posted by \*\*Martin Hyde \*\* > [@](#): > > This is actually a really good point. The more modern “zombies as diseased people” I think probably use the normal nervous system to control their bodies, so I think a SCI would prevent them mobility. More traditional “zombies as magically reanimated undead” seem to be able to continue moving body parts even after they are completely severed off independently from the rest of the body. So if you were zombified by a necromancer you’d probably be ambulatory. > [@](#): > > Ah, an angle I hadn’t considered. Yes, I suppose I am biased toward the more modern interpretation. It makes sense that I would be ambulatory if I were resurrected by some kind of sorcerer. After all, a clipped spinal cord is no greater obstacle to a fully mobile zombie existence than any of the other myriad magical things that have to happen in order to make a zombie in this way. ---

Biggest. Whoosh. Ever. And not in a good way. Too bad it was done by a malignant troll/sock/asshat and will hopefully become a rarely deleted thread. See what happens when you don’t check in with us? Good to see you back and doing just fine! Any ideas as to the cause of the ulcers? Do you take NSAIDs? So happy you’re here! ---

So zombies do remain paralyzed. Umkay speculated she would back in the “zombie chapter” of her thread, but it’s cool to know for sure Edit: Ah, tesseract thought the same thing! ---

Wow. This is very strange. Definitely glad that you’re ok and I hope you enjoyed reading the praise everyone was heaping on you. 🙂 I’ve always thought it’s a shame that people wait til someone is dead to talk about how great the person was. ---

I just got that bullshit feeling from that thread, and I’m very happy to hear you are alive. ---

> [@lavenderviolet](#): > > I’ve always thought it’s a shame that people wait til someone is dead to talk about how great the person was. Me too, but in this case a lot of people actually did tell **umkay** how awesome she was before she died. So there’s that. 🙂 ---

> [@Ethilrist](#): > > I’m glad to hear that reports of your death were greatly exaggerated. This in case you missed the whoosh?!? It’s a famous Samuel Clemens line…“Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated.” Actually as I double check [wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_premature_obituaries): “The report of my death was an exaggeration” (which is usually misquoted, e.g. as “The rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated”, or “Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated”). ---

When I first read the words “Umkay has passed”, it just didn’t register. When it finally did, it hit me just like all the others. As I read both threads, I was trying to form my thoughts into words. So many thoughts! One was about my not having posted in a thread I found so interesting for the character of the writer even more than the skill, intelligence and the wit. Then wow! WONDERFUL to read you again. Although a truly terrible thing to do, it incidentally did allow someone to attend their own funeral in a manner of speaking. And what a well deserved testimony it was! ---

Great! I can go to bed feeling a little better tonight. Though I suspect that pails in comparision to having to go to bed dead… 🙂 BTW don’t think this gets you past that whole taxes thingy. ---

I knew it i knew it!!! :D:D:D And yeah, that ‘joy in her last days’ thing rang kinda weird. That’s something you’d say about someone who KNEW she was on her way out, which I doubt **umkay** would acknowledge until after she was dead, if then. So…yay! Maybe we can get you a special Zombie title or somewhat. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-fuck/626024.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-fuck/626024.md?page=3)
