Last night, my son and I went to see George Romero's "Land of the Dead" -- the latest zombie flic. My sweet bride had the prescience to stay at home and watch tennis on the telly. The only sound made by the (literally) hundreds of zombies who were dispatched in this epic film was "gurgle, gurgle, gurgle."

Well, zombies are not generally known for their conversational skills, are they? I haven't seen that many, but don't they usually just lurch around without saying anything?

In that this was George Romero's fourth zombie movie, and in that he has evolved as a film-maker, it is perhaps unsurprising that the zombies evolved a bit, as well. There was some degree of communication between them, in this film, where there was none in any of the three prior "epics".

But not, perhaps, very far?

I would be interested to hear from the biologists amongst us how zombie evolution would work. Bingley

It's a Bildunsfilmserie. Of course they're going to evolve. Biology's got nothing to do with it.

I have been trying to think of ths's that I would pronounce in the opposite way (so obtusely described by master Faldage...), so far no luck. I would pronounce "deaths" as so ably described by Faldage (although I wouldn't have been nearly so erudite in describing it!) but I would pronounce "moths" with a voiced "th"
