Ok, you're an evil genius that's just slaughtered an entire village of innocent men women and children and you have dozens of bodies simply begging to make the leap to zombiehood.

Now that you have this vast supply of undead, what do you do with them all?

Use 1# - A stunt zombie for those challenging comic strips.

Use 2# - A contestant on Mastermind:



"Where can you find the medulla oblongata and auditory cortex?"

"Brains"

"What is an important dietary requirement for the Illthid or Mind-Flayer?"

"Brains"

...



Remember, the more original, the better :smallamused:

Use 3# - A handy plot device to keep the group village leader from being resurrected.

Obstacles in the way of freedom that infest their former town and cause problems (and soiled undergarments) for a silent protagonist in a suit of power armor as he attempts to rescue the Earth from the clutches of an evil galactic superpower.

#32: Used to up the body count during customer meetings (never good to bring fewer people than your competitor)

#33: Tech support Tier 1. Not that anyone could tell the difference.

#32: Ideal manager. All he needs to be able to do is sign any paper you put in front of him, and take the blame when things go wrong. Oh yes, and when you say to a customer 'I'm sorry, that's out of policy -- you'll have to take it up with my manager' -- if the customer does, the 'manager' should eat his brains.

Respectfully,

Brian P.

78 Somehow, no-one has mentioned the most common use, soldiers

79 Mini earthquake maker, 500 zombies jumping up and down will get a little shaking

80 construction material

81 conveyer belt; get a lot of zombies to stand in a line and pass things down the line

82 teach zombies very simple tasks, and combine with #81 to create an assembly line

83 Ithillid killer, no brains to eat, no fear, impossible to stun or charm

84 Galley slaves (hey look! that longboat is going 25 knots against the wind!)

93# Testing your Bond Killer Machine. Double profit: if a zombie can evade it, Bond can. And after the tenth time you see your Bond Killer Machine working, it loses all novelty and you are not so excited to use it. So no silly errors like waiting out from the room, or explaining to Bond how it works.
Then, make a zombie out of James Bond.

#23 Start a choir, but it would just be a one word song though. :smallfrown:

Not at all.

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable; I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here; maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains!
Lots of words there. :smallwink:

Brilliant song. Here. (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/Re%20Your%20Brains)
