You don't kill zombies; a zombie is already dead. You wait for or reap zombies. (A zombie process is just a process table entry with its exit status; it goes away once the parent process has read that exit status.)
Haha, yup, you're right; had a brain fart.

I really like how you have to wait until part 4 to get any historical context.
Have kids, kill your kids, check out cutlery, kill yourself, kill others, visit toilet. In this order.
Normal day in America.
Aren't we done with this meme?
