The Zombies heat status

[Saint]

decay of the zombies ... if they generate heat they would decay faster. ...That also raises the question of how the Zombie disease is contracted, blood based, teeth based, some other micro organism or maybe it's nanobots taking control?

lot of assumptions there MrScott that I've been pondering myself:
Decay of zombies: I envision partial zombie bodies still walking around (ala "The Walking Dead") but will have to go re-listen for examples.
Zombie disease: we know humans can be "changed", we know it appears to be about as fast as "28 days later" in at least one case (Tommy), we think its from some immediate contact transmission (blood/body fluid/nano-bots) and is apparently not an "airborne pathogen" (at least not in severe doses) and burning zombie bodies doesn't carry the pathogen to others. Some levels of skin-to-skin contact have been shown to have no effect on normal humans.
Disease is still a subjective word (ala Michael's reluctance to call "them" zombies)
so the archetypal definition of "zombie" (the walking dead, undead, living dead - what have you) doesn't fit - these "things" ARE ALIVE (by virtue of their animation, their quest of food sources, their coordinated tactics, their use of smell - necessitating some level of cardio-pulmonary system) and so on - which leads me to think the title of our beloved podcast is a double entendre!

EDIT: sorry again - got to the end of page one and started typing - before realizing there was a page 2, 3 and 4!
Still - looks like a bunch of us are pointed in the same direction, which makes me think: if this happened today and "WE" were in the tower, chances are we would all be playing "Doctor Lab Coat" and experimenting on captured creatures...
