I'll be all prayed up- just in case.
I don't want to be like all you liberal heathens out there- your all going to hell!

I don't know who these people are who say the rapture is on Saturday- I have no idea who they are.
Dosn't hurt to be ready anyway- Were gonna have a "end of the world" party Friday night.

:thumbsup:There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. 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.
In movies, shows, and literature, zombies are often depicted as being created by an infectious virus, which is passed on via bites and contact with bodily fluids. Harvard psychiatrist Steven Schoolman wrote a (fictional) medical paper on the zombies presented in Night of the Living Dead and refers to the condition as Ataxic Neurodegenerative Satiety Deficiency Syndrome caused by an infectious agent. The Zombie Survival Guide identifies the cause of zombies as a virus called solanum. Other zombie origins shown in films include radiation from a destroyed NASA Venus probe (as in Night of the Living Dead), as well as mutations of existing conditions such as prions, mad-cow disease, measles and rabies.
The rise of zombies in pop culture has given credence to the idea that a zombie apocalypse could happen. In such a scenario zombies would take over entire countries, roaming city streets eating anything living that got in their way. The proliferation of this idea has led many people to wonder “How do I prepare for a zombie apocalypse?”
Well, we’re here to answer that question for you, and hopefully share a few tips about preparing for real emergencies too!

Podcast available in iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSt ... mpt=uo%3D6This week on MonsterTalk, we interview Harvard medical doctor Steven Schlozman, author of The Zombie Autopsies http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/044656 ... 0446564664 and get inside the walking dead to discuss a plausible mechanism for the zombie apocalypse. It took a lot of guts, but in this episode we discuss:
How did a doctor become interested in zombies?
What can zombies teach us about neurology?
Which is scarier: infection or cannibalism?
Why don’t zombies have sex?
What’s the best way to slice a brain?
What do brains taste like?
Plus much, much more!

Did you know that there's a guy who posted a service on Craigslist offering Zombie Protection? For a fee, he'll brave the horde to come rescue you and relocate you to a safe place! Of course, when you check out his armaments, you realize that he's completely unprepared (no flamethrower or modified monster truck to run them all over during the journey to and from).AspenValley wrote: I saw that "Zombie Apocalypse" thing yesterday and thought it was extremely peculiar.

Are the emergency inflatable brains to be used for decoys...or as replacements? rofllolAt ThinkGeek, we take zombies pretty seriously. We're always looking for ways to raise awareness of the dangers of the apocalypse and educate the masses on safety and protection.
Well now it's official, the Zombie Apocalypse is nigh.
According to the CDC, we all need to start preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse. They've even published a guide. Of course, you already knew this day would come, didn't you? Sure you did. We've been telling you about it for ages, but it's good to see the government is finally taking this seriously. (The most important question--is CDC HQ in Atlanta actually rigged to implode?--is sadly left unanswered.)
We applaud the effort to raise awareness of our all but certain destruction at the hands (and teeth) of the freshly risen dead.
To do our part, we've put together a supplemental list of supplies. From comfort food to camouflage ThinkGeek's got you covered. Heck, we even tossed in a few items to help while away the time as you wait and wait and wait... with only the scratching of fingernails on the other side of the wall.
