How do you kill what's already dead?

[joshuaayt]

It really depends on what is animating it- and, remember, sometimes it is simpler to simply restrain the thing, either underground or (better) in space.

 

[TheTim]

cut off head and the 4 extremities and its all good.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

You can make it listen to Rebecca Black's "Friday."

 

[Brandon237]

Chop its legs off, with chainsaw if necessary. Then its head. Then throw it all in a fire. Use a pack of grenades to douse the fire at a later point. Use the ash to make a single large, hard brick. Let them use the brick in the building a 30 inch thick vault wall.

Bomb the vault if anyone claims supernatural occurances in the vault.

 

[Maphysto]

Reduce it to free-floating atoms.

If it can regenerate even from that, find a way to imprison it indefinitely.

 

[Liiizard]

Not a bad question, Jim!

Return of the living dead - when even burning it won't kill it.

 

[bulbasaur765]

By launching it into space. It will freeze up and since it can't do anything for all eternity while in the abyss it will eventually cease to stop thinking.

 

[Lawllerskater]

So...it's like a corpse that someone hooked up mechanical parts to, so that it can move? Robot corpse?

Just destroy whatever is making it move.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Make people forget it ever existed.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

There are other ways to destroy a body besides carpet bombing. Fire and acid work pretty well.

Carpet Bombing allow a greater distance to be between you and the Corpse, safety and all.

What about Meyers? Vorhees? Motherfuckers that just don't stay dead.

If they won't stay dead, then doesn't that mean they keep coming back to life, and thus, are alive?
I was under the impression that we were talking about things that move but are dead and lack any form of living.

To Quote a man that lacks the proper amount of Pineapple in his daily diet:

It's not living but should be dead, it's what is dead, but still moving.

So seeing as they are not my assigned target, I ignore them and leave them to their fun.

 

[brendonnelly]

That is all.

ahhaha yes! thats exactly what i thought about when seeing this title.
"but how do we kill that which has no life?" got to love southpark

That's exactly what I thought of, too.

 

[Shuswah_Noir]

Not zombies.

If not zombies, then what?

That which should be dead, and is, but continues walking the earth.

Shotgun. That which should be dead, in my opinion, are those which should have gone with natural selection (granted they're mostly people), but science/humanity thinks it's cruel to leave them behind.

It's not living but should be dead, it's what is dead, but still moving.

So it's the living dead but not zombies? That's.... Silly.

Is Jason Varhees a zombie?

I suppose not. But can you site another person/thing/whatever?

Nicholas Cage in Drive Angry.

Something tells me I'm glad I haven't seen that...

It's actually a really good movie, it's just that he plays the "can't kill what's already dead" card. He escapes from Hell and can regenerate from any damage. Even a bullet to the head only stops him for about 2 minutes.

If a bullet to the head cannot stop it, one would assume dismemberment wouldn't actually *kill* it/them, just make their life or lack thereof somewhat more difficult?

Quite. But Cage is a bad example. Michael Myers or Jason Vorhees are much better examples. They can't regenerate, but they're extremely durable. You could always T2 them.

Meat grinder. It would be hard to see it 'surviving' being turning into mince.

umm holy water like in all video games i have plaed the undead (no matter what kind) always dies by holy water

One who comes back from death and cannot die after isn't alive. Life is defined by needing to be sustained and being finite. If you don't require anything to sustain your life and cannot die, I propose that you aren't alive.

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

send it into a black hole, then it's someone else's problem, or it's destroyed at the lowest possible level.

Meat grinder's good. But it lacks the dramatic flair of liquid nitrogen freezing and then shattering.

That's a good point. But really, you'd want the most easily accessible thing. I dunno about you, but I have a mincer, but not liquid nitrogen. Lol.

You have a diesel powered, industrial meat grinder?!

 

[InnerRebellion]

You bring it back to life, obviously. It's simple. We... live the Batman?

 

[Theron Julius]

Chop it up into little pieces and send each piece into the sun of a different system. Let's see it come back to life then!
