* Prerequisite Required.

 

is the required prerequisite.......you are a Zombie?

 

Lol, I thought it funny that they will teach you about zombies at a well respected college like columbia.

 

it's easier than teaching the Constitution

 

Or economics, tax law, tort reform, etc etc.

 

perhaps it is just as well...when I majored in Econ in the 70's John Maynard was the saviour and Uncle Miltie was the anti-christ...how wrong can you get it?

 

This must be a seriously good film school with all the different courses offered:

I want to be a Zombie when I grow up

 

sounds interesting. although, it would be more interesting in learing about the zombification process they do in haiti, by creating a drug powder they make from poison frogs, puffer fish, etc. the pharmaceutical companies found out about it and reasarched it for anesthesia purposes. i got this from a movie based partically upon a true story in the eighties called "serpent and the rainbow" i about pee'd my pants watching that movie when i was about 12 years old. haha!

 

I'm gunna ruffle feathers with this one.

Easy to be a zombie when you grow up. Become a liberal.

 

Awesome....Great comparison

 

This thread just made me pop in Dead Rising. Time to kill some zombies with a golf club

 

Zombies are misunderstood too..

 

Interesting.....
