"There's 2 types of people in this world, those who have a plan prepared for when the zombies take over the earth, and those who don't. We call those last people "dinner" " I plan to steal a boat and use the sea as a natural barrier against the undead - perhaps head for a unpopulated / sparsely populated island to settle on while I wait out the zombie apocalypse. what's your zombie plan?
Well, before it was barricade the cabin up in Finland, but now it's barricade the cabin in southern Sweden. ( I broke up with the guy who had the cabin in Finland. ) But it would be better to buy an island prior to the zombie outbreak, we should all chip in and create buy sciforum paradise island, somewhere warm of course, so people don't have to wear any clothes.

New Zealand. It's isolated enough to keep out the baddies, but developed enough to give me a reasonably comfortable lifestyle. There, I'll wait out the whole thing while sipping mint juleps on the lanai. ~String
watch out for the zombie sharks and zombie octopuss's's.. sparsely? it only takes one.. what's your zombie plan?[/QUOTE] i would be like Zombieland , just travel, try to see if i can teach myself to fly a plane (that would be me strafing those zombies for you..),find creative ways to kill zombies, get bored, then let one bit me, just to see what being a zombie is like..
Unfortunately, I work at a facility in which tissue donations are taken. Meaning our cooler usually has a cold one in it, the majority of the time. 'Fraid I'll be one of the first to go. (BRAAAAAAINS!)
You may not realise, but asking for a mint julep you can sip on the lanai, is well-known as an extreme sport in NZ. You need good running skills to get away from all the poofter bashers. And be prepared for groups of likely looking lads all pointing at you and shouting "Wanker!" in a strange accent.
I think I'd find the posibility of Maori zombies double fucking scary - not to mention the very real possibility of a Z outbreak on the plane to get there.
My plan is to do what the Romans failed to do and cutting of zombie jesus's head. Then be hailed as the worlds SaviorPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Try Tasmanian zombies, you have to shoot TWO heads instead of just onePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Living in Scandinavia must be good practice for the zombi apocalypse given that you have so many drunks staggering about. Actually that film "Skyline" was a different take on the zombi genre and they tried to get to the boats in that film. I think one thing that zombi films have taught us is that everyone who tries to get to the boats gets eaten by zombi's or turned into aliens. Don't try it. You'll invariably end up in a paste board shack surrounded by the undead and the black guy will have to sacrifice himself. Just get some guns and a car and go to the countryside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEUfvUyQr2s
The best thing is a permanent physical barrier like, indeed, NZ. The tiny problem is the trace elements of nutrition you'll be missing 3-5 years down the road while you're waiting for the zombies to rot away. I hope everyone likes their new career as a subsistence farmer. Not many advancement opportunities but lots of job security, motivated by hunger.
Semi off-topic question: Does anyone know how long gasoline could be stored and still remain viable? (Either in a can or in an underground tank at a gas station)
I'd guess that considering it had already been stored underground for around 60 million years prior to us extracting it that it's got a pretty long shelf-life. Your long term survival option would be to go for diesel as you could always manufacture your own bio-diesel
I'm pretty sure refined gasoline degrades over time..I was just wondering if it can degrade to the point where it would no longer run an engine. Diesel is a good idea...as they aren't as picky with their fuel. I'll have to modify my "do list" for the apocalypse, and change point #2 "Steal SUV" to "Steal diesel powered SUV".
bear in mind that most consumer SUVs have pretty much zero off-road capability and would struggle on a putting green - I'd look for a Landrover Discovery ( do you have those in the US?) - it's about the best all round off roader there is and has the advantage that the engine will run on the dregs squeezed from the bottom of a MacDonalds trash can
A few. Had sex with one about five years ago. Does that count? Are you inferring that queer bashing is more of a sport in uber-liberal New Zealand than it is in the USA? PUH-leeeez! Also, I don't like mint juleps and I refuse to call my porch a "lanai". I'm a beer guy and I--in case of Zombie attack--I plan on living in Auckland. We gays generally get safe harbor in big cities. I'm a pretty good fighter. I grew up on a farm, in the country; son of a father who was a boxer and a brother who was a martial artist. Not that I fight much--or ever, for that matter--but I'm not worried about my ability to hold my own in a fight. Not worried. I'll take my chances in Kiwiland in the event of an outbreak. Low population, very advanced technology, ability to supply all its own food. Places like Hawaii or the Canaries need to import a significant portion of their food. ~String
