what if your mother had a dopplergänger with white headlights and read tail ..

.... mm ... I can see this moving on the slippery road to moderation ..

"Spinning doesn't produce Doppler effect."

It does in things like a hurricane. But only while the specific elements involved are moving (a) toward or (b) away from you.

"What if your mother has a doppelgänger jumping up and down just behind her ?"

I'd be somewhat concerned. My mother died a few years ago now, and a bouncing zombie doppleganger would frighten me. Zombies, traditionally, aren't made very well, and I'm worried I'd have to pick up any bits if her arms fell off.

this is why it is important that everyone has a zombie survival plan.
Do it now, before the zombocalypse arrives!

(I now have a weird mental image of zombies running/lurching (depending on your zombie law preferences) around accompanied by dopplered groaning)

when the body parts drop off zombies, do they seem to be coming towards you?

Oooh, that's why Vroomboo wrote "affect" instead of "effect" - they're *angry* Doppler zombies!

I'm getting scared

"when the body parts drop off zombies, do they seem to be coming towards you?"

Yes, but not for very long. I tend to give out a little scream that sounds like a chinchilla, and run away.

Yes, Yes, I know I'm just a big scaredy-pants.

I read the word as Zombocalypso then pictured zombies in brightly coloured outfits playing steel drums on the beach and singing 'Braaayynzz'

Calypso zombies are my brand new favourite genre.

It *has* to be done! (Actually, I bet it has been done...)


Someone contact Romero anyway

Maybe not Romero for this one. I'm thinking one of the Bollywood directors.

East Indies meets West Indies. Massed zombies in choreographed splendour.

Dance 'til your head falls off.

or perhaps a Fillipino prison?

I'm sure the Shawn of the Dead guys could work with someone... To pull this out.

mmmm....

All we need is a voodoo priest with a sense of rhythm...

and the smiley campaign starts here...

so he has to be catholic then

well, at least then we know he won;t pull out at the last minute.

We should work up the plot here.

Beautiful youngest daughter of rich IT exec from Mumbai on vacation in Haiti falls in love with mysterious stranger. She has to keep it a secret from her family because they have already betrothed her to someone who is still alive.

Also, they don't approve of the strangers exotic Haitian dietary customs but he wins them over with his brains masala.

And the title has to involve the word "Apocalypso"

zombie "Apocalypso" now
