How to make your own Zombie!

What are zombies?
According to wiki: a mythical creature that appears in folklore and popular culture typically as a reanimated corpse or a mindless human being.
Modern zombies are typically depicted in popular culture as mindless, unfeeling monsters with a hunger for human brains and flesh...

"Father give me the Bull of Heaven,

So he can kill Gilgamesh in his dwelling.

If you do not give me the Bull of Heaven,

I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld,

I will smash the doorposts, and leave the doors flat down,

and will let the dead go up to eat the living!

And the dead will outnumber the living!"

(Mesopotamian mythology, Ishtar)

But there are real 'zombies'!

So to make a Haitian zombie - the complicated way: (http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2004/12/09/1260445.htm )
First, make them "dead", then make them "mad" so that their minds are malleable
- toad venon - biogenic amines, bufogenine and bufotoxins. One of their many effects is that of a pain-killer - far stronger than cocaine.
- Fugu tetrodotoxin - The toxin drops your temperature and blood pressure, and puts you into a deep coma. In Japan, some of the victims recovered a few days after being declared dead.
- Datura (Jimsons Weed, Angel's Trumpet, Brugmanisa candida) - contains the chemicals atropine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine, which can act as powerful hallucinogens in the appropriate doses. It breaks your links with reality, and then destroys all recent memories. So you don't know what day it is, where you are and, worst of all, you don't even know who you are. The zombies are in a state of semi-permanent induced psychotic delirium.
