one thing they dont show in Walking Dead

There have been some excellent episodes over the last few seasons. Some are far better than others though. I think they intentionally slowed down the flow to give the feeling of what it would be like to have life move as slowly as it does on that show.
 
I don't get zombies.

Sure, it's the dead reanimated. But, the flesh / meat is still rotting. After, what, 1 month, the walking corpse will just fall to pieces.

Also, how does a walking corpse, who has been rotting for months now, still have the ability to rip a healthy human being in half?

I can understand an immediate break out and death of millions, but, things would go downhill (for the zombies) pretty quickly; http://www.cracked.com/article_18683_7-scientific-reasons-zombie-outbreak-would-fail-quickly.html
 
It's probably hard to imagine how bad everything would smell. I'm sure they get used to it, certainly, but if you were to just drop in and tag along you would vomit everywhere you went. So a little poop on your butt probably wouldn't be so disgusting as it would be now.

Somewhat explained in the show. The zombies don't "rot" at the same rate as the virus/bacteria that is animating the corpse is also doing what it can to keep the body functioning as long as possible by preserving it. So despite the lack of blood flow, the body isn't decomposing because the virus that made the body into a zombie is fighting off any other bacteria/virus that would consume/rot the body out for the most part.

They didn't go into much further detail than that and I doubt they ever will. The author of the comic books hasn't stated several things as he said the story line is suppose to be pure horror and not science fiction. He doesn't think it is needed that the audience ever gets a full explanation.

There-in lies his problem. Nerdy fucks want explanations for everything.
