    I’m already dead inside, remember? They will accept me as one of them and I’ll live forever... yay.

  • Hmmm...I don't think you can suppress your Veruca tendencies forever.  Eventually the herd starts heading somewhere you don't want to go and you start yelling at all of them and they decide to eat you.

    So I give your survival...about 9 minutes.

  • Think you could put up with my nightly string bass serenades outside your window?

  • It is? I guess I'm doing better than I thought I would. Or maybe I'm one of the zombies.

    Nobody told me there would be math when I joined AM so I am just going to guess and say 12 million  minutes. I am a survivalist so to me it dosen't matter if its  a invading Russian force or zombies they are all going to  rue the day they wondered into my neck of the woods. Cheers!

  • You're giving yourself nearly 23 years to live.  That's impressive.

    Probably about 10 or 15, I'm old and slow.

  • I guess it depends on the kind of zombies we end up with.  Most of the time they are pretty slow but I've seen a few movies where they can flat out sprint.

    World War Z was a little hectic. Knowing my luck, those would be the ones I'd get.

    Depends on the type of zombies, we're talking.
    The slow and stupid ones ... I would survive years.
    The fast and stupid ones ... probably about a year, unless I could "bunker down" somewhere remote.
    The ones that learn ... probably only a couple months, unless I was in a fortified city with plenty of armaments.

    I didn't know that there are differn't types of zombies I just assumed that they were all slow  and stupid. My plan for the apocalypse is not just survival it includes killing  as many zombies as I can to help save humanity. So maybe the key to that is studying what part of the human brain zombies prefere to eat. If they prefere the frontal lobe I  could easilly lure them into a trap with a hot looking zombie dummy (the frontal lobe controls sexual behavior). But if they prefere the limbic system of the brain I will have to be more creative because the limbic system controls the ability to reason things out so they might see the hot looking  zombie dummy as a trap. Cheers!

    I'm reading the Apocalypse Gate book series.
    After the Rapture removes souls - the bodies are left to turn to zombies.
    The longer a zombie lives, the more it learns.  They are eventually able to use modern weapons and set ambushes.
