Yay?

Fascinating article, tho.

Toxoplasma gondii Threat Assessment:

Too late. I'm already infected. (Ha.)

In actuality, the T. gondii draws its host towards cats, the "getting eaten" part was already programmed into its target (the cat). In humans, it makes us attracted to anything of feline nature, but normally just your average housecats. (Since when do we see tigers walking around the street nowadays?) That's probably why there are so many people who have "Cat Hoarding" complexes these days.

Neurotoxin Threat Assessment:

Probably, but then you'd better have a pretty good storage of these toxins. And technically, you're not dead. Just mind controll'd.

Rage Virus Threat Assessment:

And... You don't really need anything to go mad. Seriously. This is real, albiet not zombie-like. Just... Really crazy mad.

Neurogenesis Threat Assessment:

Hell, yeah. Run like bats outa hell.

Nanobot Threat Assessment

EMP FTW.

Unless you can't convince the Pentagon or NORAD to use it. :P

I lol'd a lot, but love the neurogenesis and the nanobot bits. Don't worry, just keep a baseball bat handy and you'll do fine.

Remember: Firearms are worthless. Unless you're fighting Nemesis.

Nobody believed me... but when they're all getting gnawed on by the living dead, I'll be laughing while I'm cleaning and loading up my firearms in my impregnable, stocked-for-a-billion-years apartment complex fortress.

One must also select a Standard Zombie Movie Character Stereotype, and score well in this quiz - http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/425802 .

I'm not worried because I'm prepared.

[The Bloody Son]

Lolol. An EMP would be devastating to the populace though. They'd never use it unless it was a last resort.

[Caden Law]

Z+. My knowledge, strength and will to survive are unstoppable. It would take a nuclear holocaust to remove me from the face of the earth. Zombies don't stand a chance.

Apparently. D:

[The Forgotten]

Physical - B
Mental - B
Experience - C
Emotional - F
Final - Z+

I highly doubt that any of those five methods that could lead to a zombie apocalypse will ever come to pass. They're a little too far-fetched for anyone but those who already believe we're on the verge of one to be worried about.

Got the same as Sh33p/Caden. Just too lazy to post. :p

I'm a little iffy about their test, though. It's as if you're forced to think about what you ought to be than what you are. But, hey. When it comes to survival, the more the merrier. :D

I'll tell you all the same thing I told Cory (http://www.althanas.com/world/showpost.php?p=105745&postcount=315);

I live in Ohio. Should a zombie outbreak happen, I've got days before it trickles down from Cleveland or courses up from Columbus. Anyway, in the event of it happening I have two plans.

Plan A:

1) I get in my car and drive through town stocking up for a trip. Gas, food, etc.

2) I hit the road, I take backroads all the way out of Ohio and continue to snake my way across the northern part of the country through low pop. states.

3) I find a route to Alaska to travel by that'll keep me out of the way of major cities (And the entire state of California if I'm lucky).

4) Get to Alaska.

5) Contact survivors, start a settlement.

6) Cut down those that are in my way and rule Alaska with a tough and despotic fist that will put the fear of God into both Man and Zombie.

Plan B:

1) Get a revolver.

2) Eat a bullet.

For some reason, Plan A seems to have grown on me.

[AdventWings]

Dude, we should totally hook up and take over the world.

I would call dibs on Japan, but maybe after the entire population dies off from a nuke first. :D

Remember: Firearms are worthless. Unless you're fighting Nemesis.

Um... unless you've got a rocket launcher, I think they are worthless then too.
