There's a funny (not intentionally) Icelandic saga that explains zombiedom among our frozen cousins, with an anecdote about how Skalla-grim (name translates to Skull-grim) died, and his son planned carefully so that the body could nto come back to haunt him.

Skalla-grim died at home, so they busted a hole in the wall of his house, and carried the corpse out that way, and then after the funeral immediately fixed the hole. Since zombies follow their own trails back to the place where they died, the plan was that zombie!Skalla-grim would crash into the exterior wall of the house, possibly repeatedly, instead of inviting himself in the front door.

(Norse zombies, unlike Haitian ones, are just really mean corpses, not shambling idiots. I mean, they sometimes talk, they wield weapons, and people re-slay them -- by cutting their heads off and placing the heads far away from the bodies --, but they are still dumb enough to bash themselves into a wall because it wasn't a wall last time they passed it.)

Ha! That explains why when someone dies in a Navajo hogan, they bash a hole in the wall, carry the corpse out that way...and then leave the stove-in hogan and go build another one.

I was watching Robots, for about 5 minutes, and then I stopped. Is there any reason to go back to it?

Laughter at the convenience of the glowy red "destroy humanity" setting the robots are given?

Hmmmm....

Wow. I wouldn't have expected humanity destroying from a kids movie.

IJS.

I meant within the movies plot, not that the movie itself was spawned from the lower depths of hell.

I suppose you could argue that there's a subtext to that movie that says, I am Barney, destroyer of worlds.

Oops, I misread and thought Perkins was asking about I, Robot.
