It's the wings they can sprout from their spine that make them fly. Don't be such a skeptic Dude! Just because there's no horror movies that document that particular skill, it doesn't mean they can't do it!!:crazy:
& Sajj: About the puffer fish thing...Tetrodotoxin cannot render a person brain dead or zombified if they survive the poisoning. If they live past the 24-hour threshold, after about a week of recovery, they can live the rest of their lives w/o residual effects.
If you're thinking of the Haitian zombie ritual, it ain't the poison that zombifies the recipient, but more likely the brain damage resulting from live burial...& even that is horribly misrepresented by media. It's mostly just flash. Vodoun practitioners believe there are thousands of 'zombies' in Haiti that happen to lead perfectly normal lives.
