That is excellent and uniformly informative. I've printed out copies and hung them in every room of the house. I plan to paper the neighborhood as well.
Since the gun ban has been reversed...
information on the state and impending zombie attack on san francisco. . .
the above links to the zombie survival quiz. my result:
You are 22% likely to survive
You have an inkling of what Z-Day might hold, but overall you are going to be Zombie chow. Remember, Z-Day won't be what Romero and Synder portray it to be.

I received a 37 percent rating, which is just ridiculous. The entire quiz is slanted toward those who can use a firearm. While that's a valuable skill to be sure, the truly prepared individual should be far from Ground Z when use of a firearm is warranted.
I very much admire the Silver Spring, Singular blog for its consideration of various options. The author clearly has assessed his or her environment and has created a cost/benefit analysis of where to take refuge when the undead rise to feast on the living.
And that's really the key: preparation. If you're prepared, an undead invasion need not be the big hassle people make it out to be. Try to discover the light and fun side of a throbbing mass of cannibalistic carnivores, streaming like viral predators into every home, pulling out screaming, sobbing survivors before viciously tearing them to shreds of plasma and useless organs. Maybe this is the time to explore that creative side you've let lie dormant for too long. Perhaps designing a unique hat would help pass the time, or look into that diet you've been meaning to try. That beer gut's not going to lose itself! (Unless of course you're overwhelmed by a teeming mass of decaying ghouls, who then consume it.)

Now you're just being absurd. Everyone knows their internal organs don't function, beyond the brain and basic muscular control. How on earth would they get an upset stomach???

Many will take this as a light-hearted Internet "joke" and foolishly, they will not heed what is CLEARLY a first warning.
I'm going to start running over people in my car in hopes that the undead are among my victims.
RELAXER - they're at it again:
Construction signs warn of zombies
Hackers change public safety message
AUSTIN (KXAN) - Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers. The signs near the intersection of Lamar and Martin Luther King boulevards usually warn drivers about upcoming construction, but Monday morning they warned of "zombies ahead."
"I thought it was pretty funny," said University of Texas sophomore Jane Shin, who saw the signs while driving down Lamar Bouelvard with friends Sunday night. "We wondered who did it."
The City of Austin does not own the signs, but they are responsible for the message. The contractor on the construction project owns the signs. A city spokesperson said the hacked messages were only up for a few hours, until the construction project manager saw them during his morning commute and immediately ordered them to be changed back.
"Even though this may seem amusing to a lot of people, this is really serious, and it is a crime," said Austin Public Works spokesperson Sara Hartley. "And you can be indicted for it, and we want to make sure our traffic on the roadways stays safe."
Hartley said though it was a locked sign, the padlock for it was cut. Signs such as these have a computer inside that is password-protected.
"And so they had to break in and hack into the computer to do it, so they were pretty determined," said Hartley.
This crime is a class C misdemeanor in Texas, and Hartley said it endangers the public.
"The big problem is public safety," said Hartley. "Those signs are out there to help our traffic on the roadway to stay safe and to know what's coming up."
KXAN Austin News cameras caught many drivers slowing down to read the signs as they approached. Some read, "Zombies ahead! Run for your lives!"
Hartley said the city will discuss more secure safety measures with the manufacturer of the signs.
it's insidious how the authorities dismiss this as a hacker's prank, and think the security issue here is traffic safety.
predictably enough, the attack is starting from the south. given my limited exposure to texas i'd say that's the logical place for them to start. they've got a huge leg up there - not sure people would even notice them at first.
that news piece is quite informative:

Yes! And of course I got there late at night after staying up all night to beat the game.
But, it got Venerable and me thinking - why doesn't this board have a Left 4 Dead game night?
Never played that (or Left 4 Dead), but I've been dicking around with the new Resident Evil game for the Wii. There have been several times I've yelped outloud. I generally hate the non-zombie bosses, but good god do I freak out when zombies start attacking.

oooh! oooh! me! me!
haven't played it enough yet, but i really should. we need to make monkey buy it.
If a Left4Dead group got going, I might just get off my duff and dust off the 360, figure out how to hook it up to the Internet, go out and but L4D and… jesus I'm exhausted already, fuck this.
But for real, I'm still on the search for a great zombie game. The RE series leaves me cold for some reason, I don't play online (so L4D is out), I'm burned out on WWII games (so W@W is out), and I've heard Dead Rising isn't very good.
How else can I prepare for the forthcoming onslaught of homicidal walking corpses, waging total war on all mankind through their ravenous hunger for living human flesh, to take from us the one thing – the spark of life, the climax of creation and evolution of consciousness – they can never again possess? Do I have to get a PS3 or something?
