Ah, but have you considered that almost all zombies are actually magical or superscience? What's important is that they set up the Gimmick that enables zombies, and then reason from that.

They should also grind their joints to dust pretty quickly, run out of energy, and go blind.

"The singer, who keeps his identity secret."

If only we could figure out who this mysterious hoodlum is. Unfortunately, as a newspaper, we are not equipped for this level of investigation.

Whelp, time to read Starfish again!

They're using "sees" in the fairly lexiphanicistic* sense of "causes X to Y".

*Pretentious use of words. Ironic.

Do they do that lil' hunch, puff out, and warble? Adorable birds.

You might like the Horror Vanguard podcast. It's a left political look at all kindsa horror films, and it takes an honest joy in analysing them more seriously than most of them were intended to be.

And what I was told about the "bounder" one is that it keeps your hand close to being a fist, so you and your fellow ruffians can sucker punch some gentleman.

Yeah, they got out and did an imitation protest. All spectacle and no substance. That doesn't bring people closer to doing real things, it's reinforcing the learned skill of denying that real things exist.

i'm almost completely positive these are supposed to be bounced off the ground before hitting whoever you're aiming at. they're absolutely not supposed to be shot like this.

Oh they absolutely are intended to be fired directly at faces and eyes and all that. There's a few lines of text and some pictures to play pretend that the impact is actually quite pleasant if you just do a trick shot off the ground, but they're designed with, and purchased with, the full knowledge that these are going to be used to pop eyeballs and break bones.

It's just a cheap and safe way - for the cops - to implement a good ol' savage beatdown.

Just gotta put it into Standard British (Gammon): So-called Glacial Meltwater from some foreign ocean is DILUTING our Pure British Water, and C02 is coming into our classrooms and forcing them to be stuffy and draining.

Though, alas, since it's a matter of "stop doing bad thing (to planet)" and not "please do bad thing (to foreigners)", there'll be no enthusiasm...

Bat-dog, because I was making jokes about a vampire dog being called a drachuahua earlier today. And while looking for art of a bat-dog I found out that the Buettikofer's epauletted bat is pretty damn close already.
