Run away!!!

With less than 24hrs to go before being swarmed by zombies at the apparent end of the world, I thought I'd offer up a light-hearted post.

And so, I give you... ZOMBIES!!!

A Zombie apocolypse is a particular hypothetical scenario of apocalyptic theory that customarily has a science fiction/horror rationale. In a zombie apocalypse, a widespread rise of zombies hostile to human life engages in a general assault on civilization.

In some stories, victims of zombies may become zombies themselves if they are bitten by zombies or the virus travels by air; in others, everyone who dies, whatever the cause, becomes one of the undead. In the latter scenario zombies also prey on the living and their bite causes an infection that kills. In either scenario, this causes the outbreak to become an exponentially growing crisis: the spreading "zombie plague" swamps normal military and law enforcement organizations, leading to the panicked collapse of civilian society until only isolated pockets of survivors remain, scavenging for food and supplies in a world reduced to a pre-industrial hostile wilderness.
The day that the zombie apocalypse begins is sometimes known as Z-Day, by analogy with military operations such as D-Day.

Even the U.S. government is urging its populace to prepare. story reports that the CDC web site crashed as a result of their tongue-in-cheek article entitled Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse.

Here is a list of the needed supplies, should we actually be overun by the undead;

* Water (1 gallon per person per day)
* Food (stock up on non-perishable items that you eat regularly)
* Medications (this includes prescription and non-prescription meds)
* Tools and Supplies (utility knife, duct tape, battery powered radio, etc.)
* Sanitation and Hygiene (household bleach, soap, towels, etc.)
* Clothing and Bedding (a change of clothes for each family member and blankets)
* Important documents (copies of your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few)
* First Aid supplies (although you’re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these supplies to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get during a tornado or hurricane)


And, in case you're unsure, I urge you to hat yourself up.
