But, zombies can be killed, they can be frozen, there is even a possibility that if it is a virus it can be cured. Now imagine something that is so ingrained in our every day lives that it has become invisible and imagine that it now wants to kill us. When I thought about plausible end of human race ideas I kept coming back to the book 'day of the triffids', if you haven't read it I must urge you to do so, in the triffids huge plants hunt humans in packs and the humans blinded by a meteor shower are helpless. I thought what if normal plants turned against us, things we walk on, walk past and care for everyday.. things we eat and breathe in. How would something like that be controlled, stopped? So I looked into all kinds of plants and the types of defenses they have, how they communicate, how the survive and evolve and I soon came to the conclusion that zombies aren't as scared as I thought.

Is your saw sharp? Cutting wood with a dull saw is like cutting a tomato with a dull knife: impractical and dangerous.
