Who Would Win in a Fist Fight Between Michael Dorn and a Zombie Benjamin Whorf?: patrick stewart would send them both to the brig

Make it so.

We usually just use the laundry room.

We don't have a brig.

Mister Fry, take them to the brig.

From the crossover that only occurred in my dreams. Also in that dream Whorf zombified Data because a zombie android would be awesome.

Aw, cute, you're still refusing to drink in the USA.

I don't even know my shoe size, anyway. I think it's something like 42, 24, or 9. And if I go for those numbers, I'll be guaranteed not to find any shoes that fit. I do hate shoe shopping, anyway...

Who Would Win in a Fist Fight Between Michael Dorn and a Zombie Benjamin Whorf?: Oh man hahahah I get it cause "Worf" ~ "Whorf" hahahaha, really though it entirely depends on which Zombie Ruleset you're following, I mean zombies' lethality doesn't really lie in their punching ability, really, so if you could somehow convince a zombie to get into a strictly punching match with no biting then it depends on whether your zombie has superhuman strength or not. Though it would take an awful lot of punches to "win" a punching match with a zombie; you're usually supposed to shoot them in the head, or in the brain, or separate their head from their body somehow which wouldn't be easy for an older actor like Dorn to do unless the zombie were in a very advanced state of decomposition. However, in video games and such you can kill a zombie by shooting it in the foot 5 or 6 times, so if it's those kinds of zombies then punches might do it. That's just cause of limitations in video game technology, though. Anyone else notice how recent games are getting more advanced in enemies reacting to different parts of their bodies being shot? I mean you had that in a primitive form back in the 90s but it just keeps getting better, like I think in Dead Space 2 you can't even kill enemies normally, you have to immobilize them by shooting their limbs off, which is pretty dynamic. But wait a minute, is this a fist fight, like, to the death or is it a refereed match? Cause even if Dorn wouldn't be able to kill the zombie with punches, he'd certainly be able to rack up more points with bodyshots, since zombies oftentime can't even raise their arms-- they just shamble along. So I'm putting my money on Dorn.
