Being intelligent is at least important and perhaps even more so. I'm not the fittest person in the world, but I'd probably have better survival chances than a bodybuilder who damaged his mind with drugs and steroids. I think you can also be too intelligent though... Some people only think and don't jump into action, or take too much time to think. You must be able to react quickly as well once you finished your thoughts, or you'd still be zombie food. :-s<br/><br/><br/>I've also wanted to write a short story titled "A day in the life of a zombie" and write a humourless tale from a zombie POV. I think it'd be a blast, but I'm having trouble to get their 'language' down in a way that sounds zombieish, yet is understandable enough. :-p
