SF Tangent - Zombie Survival Sites

[drwayne]

I was struck by the number of sites that are out there dealing with Zombie survival - with serious debates on the virtures of weapons and even bullet caliber in protecting one from the walking dead.<br /><br />Fascinating stuff...<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

My plan is to head straight for the nearest womans prison with a van load of booze and cig's.<br /><br />I dont mean a real womans prison full of bulbous nosed alchoholic 50 year old women who cut on their husbands of course. I mean that hollywood womans prison full of wrongly accused super models who were just too fun loving and uninhibited for an entirely corrupt yet ridiculously conservative legal system to tolerate.

I've seen a few of them. They're pretty interesting. I suppose most stem from "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z." I've been meaning to read the latter to see what the all hubbub is about. Supposedly, it's a decent book.<br /><br />A couple of Zombie Survival sites <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com<br /><br />http://www.zombiesurvivalguide.com<br /><br />Ya know, actually.. Making a zombie wouldn't be overly difficult. At least, one that just moves around. It'd be disgusting.. but not impossible. <br /><br />/puts on Evil Overlord hat<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

I've read them both...<br />Actually really great books....<br /><br />I'd say the former is a bit better though, it has the feel of reading a non-fiction book throughout it....<br /><br />Only pity is, my fighting style would not be well suited to a zombie outbreak.... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <span style="color:#993366">In the event of a full scale nuclear war or NEO impact event, there are two categories of underground shelters available to the public, distinguished by depth underground: bunkers and graves...</span> </div>

Some people donate their body to science...<br /><br />I wonder if you could donate your body to a b-grade zombie flick. It would be a nice final act to bring joy to all those movie goers. Also it could be something for your mates to remember you by.
