Yes, the CDC, as in the serious government agency Center of Disease Control and prevention located in Atlanta.

CNN article:

http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/05/19/zombie.warning/index.html?hpt=Sbin

Obvious why they did it, but pretty funny/cool nonetheless..

So, how would you survive? I think you only have a day to prepare, as Saturday, May 21st is the end. :)

It was a blog, not an official CDC thing before people come scream about wasted resources, etc.

I've been shooting people in the head thinking they were zombies. Turns out they were just local drunks. Oops....

The important thing is that you're shooting them. That way, they won't turn into zombies when the world ends.

Isn't the title of the book an oxymoron, or maybe a paradox? Doesn't it cease to be an oral history as soon as it's written down?

Go to my buddies parents house where they have 3 years worth of stock piled food, an octagonal safe room in the basement (3 feet of steel reinforced concrete on all sides, including top and bottom), an arsenal that makes a military base look bad (among the 300-400 weapons are at least 150 fully automatic weapons, 5-6 different types of .50 cal guns, etc.) and enough ammo to kill damn near half the population if you're a good shot. That's where I'd go after I filled up the 5 100 gallon tanks my parents business has with diesel and take my truck to my other friends welding shop and turn it into a wrecking ball. A few of my friends and I already have this very well planned out. The guy who owns all those guns is also a close friend of Ted Nugent so I'd try to use that connection to hook up with the Nuge.

Reading comprehension or a lack of understanding has severely failed you.

Why am I not surprised?
