Can a headshot kill zombies faster?
Yes. The head is one of the most weakest spot and bullets are really strong enough to break crack right the through zombies skull. Headshots can really kill zombies in the fastest way.
Where did zombies get the name 'zombie'?
The origin of the concept of zombiism stems from Haitian Voodoo culture. The word zombie--in Haitian it is "zombi"--means "spirit of the dead."

Of course. The Zombie Apocolypse will kill us all.
The zombies will not destroy the Earth, just the people on it. And in actual fact in the Zombie Apocalypse the living with win as zombies are not very good at planning.
Why do zombies walk with their arms in front of them?
Not all of them do. I think a lot of them were portrayed as doing such to show that they were stiff due to rigor mortis and could not move very easily. Another reason for it might be because they cannot see very well, due to rot, so they need to feel their way.
It is something someone made up to try to fool or scare people. So don't believe everything like this that you hear. There is no such thing as Zombie Swine Flu or H1Z1. The rumors and hoax originally were started as an April Fool's Day joke in 2005 but at that time, it was supposedly a disease caused by mosquitoes in Asia.
That story got started again for April Fool's Day 2009 when someone made it seem like the BBC had reported a mutation of the original H1N1 Swine Flu into H1Z1 "Zombie Swine Flu". The spoof and hoax grew from there as internet hoaxes do, and got rewritten and spread quickly fueled by the fears people already were having about the new Novel H1N1 Influenza, being called at that time the 2009 Swine flu, that first began to be discovered also in April 2009. For more details, see the link below to the Snopes.com web page about the false "report".
But, even if this weren't another internet hoax, I don't believe that Zombies can get the flu at all, anyway. They can't get any kind: not stomach flu, not Swine flu, not Bird flu or any other kinds of viruses. The reason is that viruses need to have a living host to be able to reproduce and infect animals or people. Since we know that Zombies are not really living, and viruses know that, too, they just don't bother to infect Zombies, it is a waste of a virus' time.
I think that even if someone told you that the Swine Flu would turn you into a Zombie, not that they thought that Zombies could get the flu, you can be sure that they would have made that up, too. Because viruses can't do that either. That is a scientific fact. So that is out, too.
And, finally, and most importantly, since Zombies are mythical and not real, we have absolutely nothing to worry about. There is a link below to the WikiPedia information about mythical Zombies.
Think of the 2007 movie I Am Legend. Now maybe you're starting to get the joke, eh?

But Being a Zombie is pretty much just having rabies, It's almost incurable if you are left with it for to long. It makes you want to eat others, like a zombie, and it makes you eat yourself if you are alone, it's how hey turn so weird. Real life zombies aren't reanimated bodies, they're just people who've gotten bit by a dog and went mad with hunger, they actually eat themselves if they're alone. But they are human, so they could die from blood loss, so the traditional "shoot them through the head or they won't die" method isn't completely true. They can die from blood loss.

What are origins of zombies in Haiti?
The so called zoombies were made famous by Hollywood with some characteristics that are not the same as the Haiti mythical zombies. Haiti zombies, one of the Vodou legends, are assumed to be people who have been killed, then ressucitated and enslaved by local voodoo priests. Antropological and Biological researchers have found that the process is somehow different in reality. A Vodou priest may manufacture a powder made mainly with the bladder of blowfish and the flowers of the Datura plant among other less known ingredients. He will then place the powder mixed with some fats in a place where the target will step on it barefooted. Once the target steps on it, the powder, through the fats acting as carriers, will enter the blood of the target producing a cataleptic paralysis that will make the subject appear as dead for days. After the burial, the voodoo priest will take the target from the grave and will give an antidote. However, the length of time under the effects of the powder will produce severe amnesia and the loss of some intellectual capacities, allowing the Voudou priest to enslave the person for his own benefit and making the person appear as "absent minded" in his looks and behavior. These zombies are as mortal and alive as anyone else, the undead of Hollywood exist only on screen.
What would the medical term for a zombie be?
There are actually several real-life conditions and diseases that cause one to act in a zombie-like state.
They are:
- Cotard's Syndrome - also known as Walking Corpse Syndrome. This is a psychological condition where people believe they are dead after a near-death experience. Causes them to act zombie-like (blank minded) but with no violence
- Sleeping Sickness - caused by infected bites from tsetse flies, found in the African continent. The condition causes you to sleepwalk violently in a zombie-like state
- Rabies - rabies symptoms are the same as "zombie-like" symptoms. Aggression, agitation, no control over actions, partial paralysis, cannibalism, unstoppable hunger, mania, disregard for own safety and so on. In fact, scientists think accounts of "zombies" in history was actually a rabies outbreak
- Necrosis - this is a condition where a person is medically "half dead". Their skin, tissue and muscle begin to rot, decay and peel away. People with necrosis sound and act like a zombie because the brain is slowly decaying inside the body while the person is still half alive. No cure.
- Dysarthria - a medical condition causing loss of control over limbs, behaviour and speech. Causes people to walk around in a "sleepwalking-zombie"-like state while groaning due to loss of control over vocal chords.
- Leprosy - leprosy is a condition which affects the muscle and tissue of sufferers, making them appear to look zombie-like. It causes numbness in limbs that causes them to walk in a zombie-like fashion.
- Lazarus Syndrome - this is a rare condition where the heart starts pumping blood around the body of a dead person. The individual is already dead because there is no brain activity, but due to an electrical charge still in the body, the heart starts pumping again after death. 30% of the time the patient can be brought back to life when this happens, but it is extremely controversial to bring them back from the dead when they have this syndrome, because the brain was already dead before being forced back to life. So waking them up will cause
permanent neurological damage - sometimes locking people in a zombie state.
- Ophiocordyceps unilateralis - this is actually a fungi released from spores. The spores are released into the air by this fungi. Any passing insects are immediately affected by the spores. The spores are breathed in or swallowed by the insect, which then hatches and releases a parasite inside the insect. The parasite takes over the brain of the insect and turn it homicidal and cannibalistic. When the parasite has had enough, it grows a new fungi, using the brain as fertiliser, then eventually releases new spores, killing the insect in the process. According to scientists, if this problem grows and gets out of control, it will affect larger animals and eventually humans.
There are several fictional conditions that people believe can cause zombification, such as "Ataxic Neurodegenerative Satiety Deficiency Syndrome", which was made up by an author for a spoof medical journal - it does not exist in real life.
