Final Update of the Day
Sparky asked if I had any idea how long it takes 
zombies to starve to death. All the information I have presents a pretty bleak view.
I think it takes several days to starve to death, depending on what sort of zombie it is. Like a Virus-zombie isn’t really dead, so it’d take however long it’d take a person. Reanimated corpses generally don’t ever starve to death, since they don’t really need to eat. You just have to wait for them to decompose.
See, this is why my family believes in cremation. I’ll never have to face the heartbreak of needing to whack my zombie-loved-one. I’ll never have to worry that the scritching at my glass is someone dearly departed.

Ha! Knowing somebody who got her nose out of joint with the whole “that’s banal and not at all funny, must be nice to have so much time on one’s hands”… I can say that you hit the nail on the head with that one. Jealous, indeed.
