What do Beethoven, Charles Dickens, and Benjamin Franklin have in common with
Dick Cheney? All reportedly suffered from gout. You can read more about this
extremely painful condition and its treatment at the site below from the
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases:

As you'll see, one of the
high-purine foods that may cause the condition is brains, so gout could well be
the reason that zombies walk and moan they way they do. (Just a theory.)
