A funny video that POW sent me a while back.

Alright, dude, you're a doctor and you think drowning's a peaceful way to die? Are you insane?

No. I personally don't know the effects of drowning, even thoguh I'm a doctor. I just read that at first it's painful, but then it's okay.

Dude, having to inhale water because you're body is in dire need of oxygen, and then having your body try it's hardest to rid itself of all the water in your lungs, is hardly what I'd call "okay". It's probably one of the most agonizing and frightening deaths out there.

Good point. It never mentioned that in the book. Goddamn Reader's Digest.

Oddjob's a doctor?

Whoa, I never saw that coming.

Yep. Turned one on Thursday. I like having two doctorates. It makes me proud. It makes me feel important, even though I'm probably not.

Well, perhaps they didn't want to create an uncomfortable image in the reader's mind, so they decided to leave out the details? :p

Only you can decide if you're important or not. You shouldn't let documents decide that for you, in my opinion.

I propose that Snuzi gets the title 'OWF's Guidance Counselor' because he's always telling people to have self-confidence in themselves and not care what other things do to you.

Well, thank you, but you have to understand that for every time I attempt to build up a person's self-confidence, I mock and ridicule someone else. So if we're speaking logically, both acts kinda cancel each other out :p.

What would I do in a Zombie outbreak? You're asking my opinion? How thoughtful...



Anyways, I race for ACE Hardware, and get all kinds of lawn equip- I mean, Zombie killing weapons. Then, I get in my car, and drive to the nearest polar ice-cap. (in a zombie attack, no one cares if you are old enough to drive.) Or I'd drive through as many Zombies as I could and then hold up in the school.
I'll be damned if they are going to infest my body! ;)

I would probably got feral of someting...Like a wolf as I already growl and bare my teeth at people when they annoy me, i'll probably sink back to the caveman (woman) nature. Go cavepeople! I hate zombies, they are freaky looking. *Hisses in distaste*

I think a shot to the head would probably be the best way to go. Quick, relatively painless, and you can't be zombified if you don't have a brain.

Eh, well there is a chance of surviving a shot to the head. They're slim, but still.

Just be sure to aim carefully then.

DEAR MITSUR:

Dude, you'd be fine. You wouldn't even need need to move anywhere. Zombies are attracted to LARGE cities, because of the population density.
That, and your house was practically DESIGNED for a zombie outbreak. That's why my plan is to go to your house ;D

I would go on a bulldoser rampage.

Yeah, because you'd definitely know how to operate one.

Zing!

Anywho:
Yeah, theres a guy in this town who survived a shot to the cheek. There's also someone who survived an arrow to the head here, not sure what happened to him.

Well I would perfer not to be shot, but hey, you dont get what you want in this creepy world. Oh and I saw this show where this man had a powerdrill sticking out of the side of his head and he was still alive and walking about, so if you are attacking Zombies and you have a powerdrill, go for the eyes.

You saw a show where a man had a power drill in his head? What the hell kind of show was that?

Yesterday was the celebration of the birth of Zombie Jesus. Rabbits are his natural enemies and every year on his birthday they hide baskets filled with zombie repelling candy all over the world. If a person finds their basket they will be safe for another year from Zombie Jesus' ravenous hunger. However, if they do not find their basket Zombie Jesus will snack on their brains.

Awesome holiday.

Well, if there was a zombie uprising, I would have to go to space. Then no zombies would ever be able to get me. Right?

But where would you get all the equipment, the permission, and would you live long enough for it all to blow over in space?

I actually just posted a story regarding a Zombie war. In a future of zombies and corrupt governments, who needs permission to use a gun?

In fact, who needs a gun?!

I'MA CHARGIN' MA LAZER!!!!!

...That and I have the zombie survival guide XD

Yeah, really. What would ya do? Hijack a space shuttle and just happen to know how to operate it?

I wanna build a defensive fort really bad:) Also now that I have my new Swiss army knife I can stab a zombie in the brain.

A Swiss Army knife probably wouldn't even get past the skull.

It is a $30 one, and yes it would. so:p

I honestly doubt it would. You'd have to be incredibly strong for that thing to pierce a skull. Besides, why take a Swiss Army knife when you could just take a regular knife from your kitchen to defend yourself with?

Damn, you got me there...maybe i could live underground? Oh wait, I would still need the oxygen, food and water to live. Plus an anti-zombie Minigun. Maybe I could...well every idea i think of has a flaw...so I think I would die and become one of them.

Your idea of living underground intrigues me. Living in the UK, I could try and survive under the old Caphouse collery (mine), just as long as I kept the air traps shut, and had plenty of food. There's also plenty of equipment that could be used as defense down there.

Let's face it, if anyone wants to go battling Zack themselves then we can write them off as dead or worse. You're only going to attract the hordes and there's no way you could fight them off indefinitely. Even small villages have thousands of people living in them, and if they were all zombified then that is a writhing mass that you could not hope to defeat. Even if you have guns, your ammo will not last through all of them, and with close ranged weapons you will become exhausted, and being so close to them at this point they will get you.

And you can't drive through them either, just because they're dead, that doesn't make them any less solid. After only a few impacts your car will look and function worse than an inflatable dartboard. Though I've seen the tanks seen fit for road use in the States, I can't imagine you'd get far on their mileage, and without power it'll be hard to refuel them.

The number one priority is staying alive, not re-enacting a zombie game, which aren't exactly "realistic" envisions of zombie outbreaks. Who knows what real zombies would be like? They may only be shuffling if they've actually suffered damage, "healthy" zed-heads might be quick, and the presence of sprinters changes everything.

You've got to think defensively. That means moving away from the ravenous hordes. You might be able to grab a few things from stores and homes before you leave, and if you can, do so. I myself have designed a tooth-proof suit of armour made from easily available materials, mainly a leather biking suit and sporting protection, but getting the supplies may be more trouble than it's worth, and hinder mobility. Weapons are for anything you encounter as you escape, and hunting game, not taking on the legions in a one-man assault. Find a small group to travel in, more eyes and assistance will facilitate survival, but a large group will draw unwanted attention, and infection could sweep through it quickly. So if you have protection, nutrition and some semblance of sanity and morale, what you need is a destination.

If you are lucky enough to own a home that would protect you with fortifications, then use it. But most of use are not so fortunate, and it is a known fact that 90% of all zombifications occur in the home. In Europe there are castles and world war relics that would be life-savers. But the States and Canada lack such fortresses, they are young countries whose government has prevented much of the anarchy that led to castles. You do have malls, but whether they will turn out to be impenetrable bases or nightmarish deathtraps remains to be seen. Indeed, with Dawn of the Dead your decision to seek refuge there will not be a unique one, and in such dire times the living are more dangerous than the dead. You'll probably find the mall already overrun by Zack when you get there. Heading north may be a good bet, where hopefully the cold will freeze the zombies. Then again, heading down south, Aztec, Inca and Maya temples sound like ideal locations to hold off the hordes and seek shelter.

Heading out to sea might work well if you have the supplies and means to do so. If you can stay on board your boat indefinitely then you'll do well, but it's not a long term solution. Uninhabited islands will keep you alive for a long time if you know how to survive, and coconuts on their own provide everything you need to survive, so long as you don't run out. Oil rigs are a good place, too. Hopefully the undead won't choose to "take a walk", so to speak...

Funny show
 

On discovery channel i think...It had lots of weird stuff, like a woman with a beetle lavae living in her skull and a boy who got attcked by a pack of chihuahuas. (Dont laugh, that boy was pretty nasty looking...Eugh) As for the sea idea...Im terrified of water so I might just stay on land, or live underground like a mole or something

I have another idea that will probably get me killed...I stay at a lab and become a mad scientist, developing anti-zombie juices or the such so I can chuck vials of wierd s*** at them to make them die. Then, when I run out, I get out one of those axes from those glass cabinets in case of a fire to get more ingredients to make more anti zombie juices to chuck the same wierd s*** at them and then keep doing that till I die from lack of starvation/water or I turn into one of them which will happen incredibly quickly. It sucks, I know.

I didn't mean I was going to take on hordes of zombies myself. I was only saying that if faced with a group, I'd have no choice but to use any objects at my disposal to blugeon as many as I could to death, and then escape somehow. Taking on hordes of zombies, one by one without any assistance is suicide.

Isn't it great how we're all acting as if this is really going on right now? After rereading some of these posts I just can't help but laugh.

:)If I was in a zombie outbreak, I'd go crazy from fear and not know what to do and be scared.

Well, in the words of Jurgan Warmbruum (Tel Aviv, Israel): "Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature."

Zombies are among us, turn on your television if you don't believe it.

There's also the fact that on the Internet, the zombie threat is very popular and along with "in-universe" books such as The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z which both unite most modern zombie canons and present it in a real-world context, does it deserve anything less?

If i were in a zombie outbreak i would do the right thing: grab a defensive weapon, find somewhere safe and try to lend any other survivors a hand. All in an effort to get out of the outbreak area.

It depends on how it starts. If you are lucky enough to deal with the initial carrier before it have infected anyone and dispose of it successfully, then that's the end of it. But situations can escalate quickly into a class one or two outbreak, especially since (based upon the Solanum Virus model) it can take nearly 24 hours from initial infection to reanimation, so you may find zombies continue to emerge for some time after the event, perhaps regaining a foothold. But it always starts with a single creature, be it your basic class one or apocalyptic class 4 incident, since the natural origin and residence of the virus is unknown.

Then again, this should give you all a chuckle.
