Tim Tebow Will Save the World from the Impending Zombie Apocalypse: Fan's View

From Miami's recent incident that featured a naked man eating another human's face to a Peruvian man having his penis amputated after it was infected by a flesh-eating bacteria, and finally to the news that a 21-year-old Morgan State Universitystudent ate his roommate's heart and brain, it seems that one thing is for certain:

The zombie apocalypse is upon us. Luckily, New York Jetsquarterback Tim Tebow is still a living human and he's on our side, poised to save the world from those pesky undead.

Here's a look at five reasons why Tim Tebow will survive the zombie apocalypse:

1) The "big guy in the sky" is on his side: How else do you explain the Denver Broncos beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in last year's postseason? All that 'Tebowing' came in handy down the stretch last season, and it'll help in the event of a massive zombie attack.

2) The zombies would eat Rex Ryan first: Think about it from a zombie's perspective: Rex Ryan's belly is filled with all kinds of delicious treats like Twinkies and White Castle cheeseburgers, while Tebow is nothing but flavorless muscle.

3) Awkward throwing motion is perfect for scrambling zombie brains: Tebow's awkward throwing motion may not help him for life as an NFL quarterback, but it would be useful in his zombie-killing approach.

His chiseled 6-foot-3 frame and huge biceps would help him have the strength and energy to lug around the biggest machete available, and go on a serious zombie decapitation spree.

4) Excellent leadership abilities: Darrelle Revis recently called Tim Tebow a "born leader," and leadership is a quality that can be useful in guiding the masses through high-pressure situations.

Instead of a situation where there's panic in the streets when hundreds of brain-eating zombies are plodding forward, Tebow will keep us calm and collected.

5) Speed "kills": There's a lot of things that Tebow isn't good at, but he excels when it comes to running. Zombies are slow creatures that are easy to outrun, and Tebow has an good a chance as any to escape their deadly grasp by jetting past them.

Running away is only half the battle, but it puts you in good position to get away and think about your next move.

Zombie Apocalypse: more bizarre and gruesome incidents reported today

It started this weekend when the disturbing Miami incident of a naked man eating another man’s face hit the news and was dubbed “zombie apocalypse.” Today more very gory and bizarre incidents have surfaced across the nation. These tales have many wondering what’s going on. Is it the bath salts being used like a drug causing psychotic behavior as some speculate?

The first incident to make news occurred this weekend in Miami where a naked man, Rudy Eugene, climbed on top of a 65 year-old homeless man and ate his face, according to WebProNews.  Police were beckoned by a passerby and they told Eugene to back away from the victim. Eugene looked up with pieces of human flesh hanging from his mouth and growled at the police. He then went back to eating the victim’s face.

The police shot Eugene, but he continued chewing on the man’s flesh. They were left with no options and the attacker was fatally shot to get him away from the victim. The victim, Roland Poppo, had 80% of his face eaten away and was unrecognizable as a man. He remains in the hospital in critical condition today. Pictures were released showing the victim and the crime scene aftermath.

Zombie apocalypse: Miami cannibal attack differs from past flesh eating murders

It’s being called the "zombie apocalypse" online today, a gruesome act of a man in Miami eating another man’s face after attacking him on Saturday. While the crime is rare, it is not the first time modern-day cannibalism has occurred. There’s one difference in this flesh eating incident that sets it apart from others, as the newly released police reports and pictures suggest.

This case is dubbed the "zombie apocalypse," most likely because of the manner in which this attack took place, the details are described in police and witness reports.According to the Mirror, the other cases of cannibalism appeared to be crimes done in privacy so the killer lessoned the probabilities of getting caught. This suggests that some thought went into the other crimes, but it doesn't appear to be the case with 31 year-old Rudy Eugene in Miami over the weekend.

Probably the most famous of these modern-day cannibals is Jeffery Dahmer, who murdered 17 young men during three decades from 1978 until 1991. He had eaten their body parts, storing some of the flesh and a human head in his refrigerator and freezer. Dahmer befriended the young men before drugging them and killing them.Men in the past who killed their domestic partners and ate them had their wits about them enough to plan a cover-up of the crime. This seems to be the case even if the killing was done in a fit of anger. Many of the documented cases included cooking the human flesh before eating it, such as the case of a  man in Mexico City, Jose Luis Calva. He fried the flesh of his girlfriend in butter and lemon before eating it in 2007.

 Armin Meiwes advertised online in 2001in Germany for someone willing to be the victim of cannibalism. Believe it or not he got a serious response. Meiwes took his victim to a farm house where he first cut off the man’s penis, which the two attempted to eat. He then stabbed his willing victim before cutting him up and freezing the body parts then eating them over time.

Albert Fish, who was executed in New York in 1936, was finally caught years after kidnapping a 10 year-old girl in Manhattan and eating her. Six years after his crime he sent a letter of torment to the family graphically detailing what he had done to the girl and conveying the pleasure he got from this crime. Fish was arrested after the letter was tracked back to him.

While there are several more very odd and bizarre crimes similar to these, Rudy Eugene’s crime in Miami on Saturday was different in a few ways. Eugene did this while he was naked and in broad daylight on a busy street where the probability of getting caught was great. The attack didn’t appear to be planned as he just seemed to have randomly grabbed the victim as he walked by on the street. The attacker appeared to be in a drug crazed state according to police.

When police told Eugene to back away from his victim, he looked up, with flesh still hanging out of his mouth and growled like an animal, then went back to eating his victim,according to CNN. The first shot at Eugene by police wasn’t meant to kill him, it was meant to get him to stop.

This didn’t stop him so the officer had no other choice but to continue shooting the man to get him to let go of the victim. Eugene died from the gunshot wounds. The behavior that Eugene displayed is most likely why this crime has been dubbed the "zombie apocalypse."

The modern day zombies seen on the screen like "The Walking Dead," a TV show from AMC, depict the zombies in an eating frenzy and making animal like noises. The TV zombies can’t be stopped unless they are killed by a gunshot wound or a blow to the head that penetrates their brain.

The gruesome pictures of this crime are posted online here at SMSEO, which are graphic, but tend to evident the attack being like those seen on TV from "The Walking Dead."
