      Never heard of garden path sentences before. Very neat! I loved the examples on the Wikipedia page.

      Eg. The old man the boat.

      It’s so short and I love it as the first example.

        That’s what irks me about this lazy dropping of the ‘of’ after ‘couple’

        “I saw a couple birds”

        You saw them do what now?

        My first thought was ‘zombie work’ was a phrase for a job where you don’t have to think at all while doing it. Say a factory job like picking up rolls of tape and putting them in the tape dispenser.

      What zombie work, across all mediums, does it best?

      Some punctuation and the proper superlative makes OP’s title a bit more readable.

      My best guess is that they are asking that out of all of the zombie lore that’s out there – live action tv, cartoons, movies, comic books, etc – which does the community think is the best of the best.

      I think they want to learn about people’s favorite zombie stuff, and open it up to movies, books, games, songs, sculptures etc.

      Something like:

      What work in any medium, that is about/ includes zombies, is the best and why?
