How can people not know what zombies are?

Hmmm.  I don't know.  They're like a famous figure now.

There's a basic kit which will help in most non-combat situations during a zombie apocalypse on PopSci.

I'd prefer something small, with a silencer so that I'm harder to track.

I'd probably use the house I'm living in.
One side faces a closed-in cul-de-sac, the other a main road. 4 floors, an entrance to both sides, balconies overlooking both sides amd a five minute walk to a dock(for escaping by sea).

There's also a church in my town with an awesome bell tower that'd be perfect for sniping.

Well if it was purely on preference I'd like a FAMAS.

Alright, time to show just how nerdy I really am.

In case of Zombies, read the to do list: (Home Survival Addition)
#1: Panic
#2: Identify situation
#3: Locate my .22 rifle and ammo.
#4: Turn on the Bathtub, sink until filled.
#5: Barricade windows and doors from the outside and inside.
#6: Move all supplies to the second floor.
#7: Destroy the stair case.
#8: Setup a survival kit in case in need of speedy escape.
#9: Play Dwarf Fortress 2 until power is turned off.
#10: Gripe after the power goes out.
#11: Take out anger on zombies with .22.
#12: Break out the board games.
#13: Slowly go insane.

In case of Zombies, read to do list: (On the run addition.)
#1: Panic
#2: Gripe
#3: Grab .22 Rifle and ammo; 30-30 and ammo, Machete.
#4: Pack Survival Kit (food, first aid kit, flashlight, etc.)
#5: Walk outside, load the .22, grit my teeth, light a cigarette, say the following, "I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum."
#6: Always bet on Duke.


Did any of you even read the Zombie Survival Guide?

.22 is one of the best guns you can have in case of a zombie attack. They're light, they're ammo is light, they're easy to maintain.

You should also use the gun only in emergencies because of the bang they give off. It attracts zombies to your location.

You also want to avoid people and military/police facilities mainly because of how crowded they are. This is because you'd probably get trampled to death or shot.

Crowbars = God's hand with a hook. At least when surviving a zombie Holocaust.

I'd take a nice, long shower and put on my best clothes.

I'm screwed if an outbreak happens near me, so I might as well be the snazziest zombie around.

I would go to Denmark, break into the LEGO headquarters armed with a shotgun, take out any zombies there, and have survivors and party members fortify it and any handy farm area nearby (even if it's small).  We would plan tunnels, which would be supported by LEGO columns and lead to other locations that might be better strategically (yeah, coulda gone there from the start, but I need to secure the throne, right?) and then secure those areas, assuming other resistance groups were not already there.  If they were, we would ally and establish trade for needed equipment.

Overtime we'd establish medieval weapon training for weapons capable of taking out the head efficiently (swords, axes, maybe halberds?).  This would be for silent, neigh-infinitely usable weapons to defend ourselves from zombies without attracting their attention.

Um, what do they call the language they speak in Denmark?

Argh.  How could I forget that? (thanks)

Right.  I'd buy a Danish phrasebook along the way unless I had already learned Danish.  Whatever's most highly recommended of what I can find at an airport.

Thankfully, I live nearby a place with access to a very isolated island, with no land around for kilometres and miles. So unless the dead make a bridge to get to me, im pretty save there. I can grow vegetables and bring my GF and the future of the human race will depend on my inbred ancestors :o

I went to Denmark once.  When I was young.  When there was only one and only Legoland (and I've not yet found a decent enough excuse to visit Legoland Windsor... like having kidnapped my friends' kids or something).

All you really need to remember (assuming that my younger self is a suitable benchmark) is that Pif Paf Puf are Rice Crispies.  And while this online dictionary that I've just prodded says that "Kartoffel mase" might well be Mashed Potato (or, rather, "Potato Mash"), my memory (probably coloured by the remnant memories of the accompanying accent) is of something like "Kartoffl Moss", showing a trivial degree of mnemonic deterioration over the past few decades.  The five Ore coin (really needs an umlaut, if not totally misspelt, but can't be bothered to pursuade this computer to provide one or check the appropriate references) was reeeealy small.  Oh, and Danish Blue is a quite strong cheese, but was not unappealing to my young pallette.  (Actually, as a fromagophile, I've never found a cheese I don't like, although I have found many that I most definitely prefer in leiu.  It appears I am digressing.)

BTW, to stay on (or return to) subject, I was wandered around the web on other business and found: this...  I've just found out that on the gun-selection page, you can click on the diary as well.  I may have to play it again from the beginning just to see what scribblings I've missed.
