As if we didn't already have enough reason to love the bizarre English of the Dead: the latest update to the official website reveals this little wonder here. It's one of the ways that the game records your progress -- in addition to an accuracy percentage and medal rankings, there's a measure of the amount (by head weight) of zombies killed. In the screenshot here, it's revealed that 646 zombies weigh roughly the same as one elephant.Assuming a weight of 10,000 pounds for an average elephant, that means that the average zombie head weighs about 15.5 pounds. That's pretty heavy for a head! Ah, we can't wait for the inevitable arguments elephant and human head weight.

According to Wikipedia, a human head weights about 8 pounds in average, and an elephant 14.000 pounds. So it would be more like 1750 heads per elephant. Of course the game could mean an Asian elephant, which are smaller, or consider that the zombie head is heavier then the human head, since the zombification of one would change the blod flow to the head or change in the brain (also know in Zombie language as braaaaaaaaaaiiiiiinnnnsss, or fooood).
And according to commom sense, the fact I spent so much time writing about it makes me crazy.
