I have often wondered if perhaps homeopathy might help control the zombie scourge.<br /><br />I note silver iodide is used in seeding clouds to induce rainfall. Perhaps the silver ions, greatly diluted in the precipitation, might approach theraputical levels per homeopathic theory. The effect of silver on a variety of undead forms and transmogriphites is well documented, but the application of homeopathic principles remains untested.<br /><br />Rather than restricting cloud seeding to parched areas, perhaps we should expand the technique to zombie infested areas ??<br /><br /><br />Perhaps a modest grant might be procured to facilitate testing in a proof of concept study ?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>
