Re: What is your zombie plan?
"Zombie Haiku" is creepy but, it is also very well done. "The Zen of Zombie" is hilarious and enlightening.

Re: What is your zombie plan?
Construction signs warn of zombies
Hackers change public safety message
Shannon Wolfson
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.

Re: What is your zombie plan?
I work Security in a hotel so first would be to bar the doors. Second would be to take a headcount of guests. Third, check supplies. Fourth, contact Law enforcement. Five, sit back and watch the city tear itself apart. Since Downtown Vancouver is on an island, isolating oneself from the Zombies isn't that hard. Did someone say KABOOM!!?

Alright, Dawg, I'll be driving north to the hotel you work at, then. I'm liking this whole sit-back plan.

 Re: What is your zombie plan?
Hi I'm back my computer was on the fritz... forever (it's dead now... i killed it... with a bat... well a stick in the shape of a bat... if you squinted). I saw one of those signs. It freaked me out and I started driving west. Luckily I called a friend and it all got cleared up (we killed the zombies... you're welcome). As for my zombie plan I have access to a underground research base in the rocky mountains (if you can find me you're are all welcome). I would travel there on my dirt-bike, because it is maneuverable and gets great gas mileage. The facility has two years worth of emergency rations (for fifty staff members), steel reinforced multi-tier fences, and I could easily scavenge for weapons in the near by area. In the winter the zombies would freeze while the onsite nuclear facility would provide energy for generations. Food would later be grown on the site. Also as for the waiting it out you guys are talking about; it would be better to stay on the move and pack lightly living by scavenging, unless you have a set-up like mine.

Re: What is your zombie plan?
LOL- I totally forgot about this thread.
So I've lately been getting into the whole zombie thing (it started with reading the Zombie Survival Guide, and has turned into me writing my own zombie short stories). My roommate, two friends, and I have actually constructed a zombie plan now. Things really do come full circle!
