Parents ~~killing~~ reaping their zombie children was a favorite one of mine.

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.)

Have kids, kill your kids, check out cutlery, kill yourself, kill others, visit toilet. In this order.
