Zombies are coming
I’ve discovered this excellent blog called Zombies Are Coming (which is now on my blogroll). It’s written on the subject of, what else, the coming zombie apocalypse (a subject that fascinates me as well). But these people take the whole concept very seriously, almost to a worrying degree. That’s why the site is such a hoot. Let’s take a brief tour as we answer all of your zombie apocalypse questions, shall we?
- What are the best melee weapons in the event of the zombie apocalypse?
- What is the best handgun?
- Why are shopping centers good places to survive the coming zombie apocalypse?
- Can you hide from zombies in an underwater base?
- What is the current zombie apocalypse threat level?
- What should I put in my Mobile Zombie Preparedness Kit?
- Will pretending to be a zombie protect me from the zombie hordes?
- Why shouldn’t you use a shotgun in the event of a zombie apocalypse? (Heresy!)
This site should be mandatory reading for all inhabitants of the United States. Not only will your unprepared neighbors not survive the coming zombie apocalypse, they will become zombies that will actively hunt you down and eat your brains. Thus, it is in your own self-interest to educate everyone in your neighborhood on how to survive the coming zombie apocalypse so that the damage from it is mitigated. For every household you educate in your neighborhood, that’s on average two fewer zombies coming to chew down your door. If you’re still having trouble with the concept, here’s a simple phrase you can repeat to yourself: Four zombies bad, two zombies good. Four zombies bad, two zombies good.
But the best part about Zombies Are Coming is the comments. I can’t tell if they’re serious or not. One commenter cites his determination to get his Mobile Zombie Preparedness Kit together soon; another says he has enough firearms, ammunition, food, and water to survive several months in an apocalypse scenario. Just be glad humanity is graced with the likes of these intrepid zombie survivalists, because when the coming zombie apocalypse finally does come, we will all depend on them for humanity’s survival.

There is no such thing as a zombie, I have no idea where you got that from. Instead of wasting your time on such ficticious fearmongering tripe, you had better prepare yourself for the Second Coming of Christ. Or L. Ron Hubbard, I keep mixing those up.

Tell me you’ve read the Zombie Survival Guide and/or World War Z by Max Brooks.

No, I can’t say that I have, but I have at least heard of them. I’ll add them to the list of things to read before I die.
Incidentally, World War Z is an awesome name for a book, I must say.
