From the Palladium boards, just like the previous entry.

That's a good point: I was on a different message board, arugueing with some 'dead-head' about the "kill the brain" rule. I kept bringing up varient zombies from fiction that were resistant to this, but he didn't accept it. My arguement was that like vampires, werewolves and many other creatures, the attributes, powers and weaknesses of zombies has been reworked that if, IF you ran into one, you wouldn't know the truth from the myth. (He didn't accept this argument either.)

So, I took a different approach: I told him to imagine that a robot was walking down his street, smashing things and killing people, and it was up to him to kill it. I asked him how would he stop it?
Smash it with a hammer? Throw water on it? Use a magnet or Electricity to scramble it's circuts? Catch it in a logic loop and make it's brain explode? Hack it's CPU with a Powerbook? Hit the red button on the back of it's head? Tell the robot that it's going to Robot Hell if it doesn't stop it's rampage? The point was that there are many forms of robot in fiction, but no one REALLY knows how to stop a "Killer Robot". This is the same of the zombie.

He insulted me and then logged off.

Oh, and the only way to beat that robot was to teach it to love.
