Endless Paradigm

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/05/18...pocalypse/ Wrote:Are you prepared for the impending zombie invasion?

That's the question posed by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention in a Monday blog posting gruesomely titled, "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse." And while it's no joke, CDC officials say it's all about emergency preparation.

"There are all kinds of emergencies out there that wee can prepare for," the posting reads. "Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you'll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."

The post, written by Assistant Surgeon General Ali Khan, instructs readers how to prepare for "flesh-eating zombies" much like how they appeared in Hollywood hits like "Night of the Living Dead" and video games like Resident Evil. Perhaps surprisingly, the same steps you'd take in preparation for an onslaught of ravenous monsters are similar to those suggested in advance of a hurricane or pandemic.

"First of all, you should have an emergency kit in your house," the posting continues. "This includes things like water, food, and other supplies to get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp (or in the event of a natural disaster, it will buy you some time until you are able to make your way to an evacuation shelter or utility lines are restored)."

Other items to be stashed in such a kit include medications, duct tape, a battery-powered radio, clothes, copies of important documents and first aid supplies.

"Once you've made your emergency kit, you should sit down with your family and come up with an emergency plan," the posting continues. "This includes where you would go and who you would call if zombies started appearing outside your doorstep. You can also implement this plan if there is a flood, earthquake or other emergency."

The idea behind the campaign stemmed from concerns of radiation fears following the earthquake and tsunami that rocked Japan in March. CDC spokesman Dave Daigle told FoxNews.com that someone had asked CDC officials if zombies would be a concern due to radiation fears in Japan and traffic spiked following that mention.

"It's kind of a tongue-in-cheek campaign," Daigle said Wednesday. "Wee were talking about hurricane preparedness and someone bemoaned that wee kept putting out the same messages."

While metrics for the post are not yet available, Daigle said it has become the most popular CDC blog entry in just two days.

"People are so tuned into zombies," he said. "People are really dialed in on zombies. The idea is wee're reaching an audience or a segment wee'd never reach with typical messages."

They think that in a Zombie Apocalypse, ppl will be OK in refugee camps or Militar Checkpoints. (Wee all know how that ALWAYS turn out) That's why they don't tell you to get a gun or guns, for "your safety and others"

Luckly, my wife and I are always bringing the subject in. Wee are more than prepared for a Zombie Apocalypse. What to do, where to go, who to trust, how to move, etc. All you need to have is determination, if you get scared or start to get freaky, you end up dead. If you think ppl is gonna help you, then you are dead. Zombies are slow, but that's not to trust, they have a great hearing. If you gonna go to the country, then make sure to set a BIG perimeter for the defenses, not just 2 yards surrunding the house. (I always imagine putting some electrified wires around the perimeter, maybe 3 o 4 rounds, 5 yards between each) Always have some car or waggon, full tank of gas and 2 of those red things for gas too. Weapons like guns, rifles and stuff are not always trust worthy, but effective. The problem always is that if you cross some other ppl (always are more scared than you), they will try to take them from you. So, always have a backup stashed.

Well xD I can go on and on about it, but you get my point, right? xD
(The Walking Dead comic helped alot to think what could happen in a Zombie Apocalypse)

I learned everything I need about zombies from highschool of the dead

where them hot chicks in the skimpy t-shirts?

In another crazy Japanese anime, zombies cross dress and carry chainsaws.
