If insects become carriers (don't see a realistic situation where insects become zombified), you are screwed.

Alos: HAH! I just discounted zombie insects as being too unrealistic, but accepted zombies themselves without hesitation. I am a nerd.

But how likely would it actually be for the disease to become such that it could pass between species?

Has anyone thought of a scenario where the disease might originate from animals? On a wide scale even?

I used to have such a good plan.

A guy that I've been friends with since I was 5 lived in a two story house, and came from a military family. That meant he had a defensible position and guns. Both his family and mine also had a fairly good supply of food. We also lived about 3 miles away from an air force base.

However, our plan wasn't to make for the base. Everyone in the area would be flocking to the base, so the roads would be impassable. No, our plan was straight out of the Zombie Survival Guide. Ferry as much food and water to their upstairs room, fill up the bathtub on that floor with water, stock up on weapons, destroy the staircase, and wait for the calavary.

Did I mention when his dad left his gun collection to him? Including some guns that are illegal to own in some states?

Yeah...it was a good plan...and then I moved. On top of that, my friend is moving this October.

Yeah...if the zombie apocalypse happens now, I'm screwed...I have no plan.

Good timing for this thread, this was on Cracked today.

Yeah. I have to admidt, I've considered these things before. Actually, doubts of how to do things are the main reason I don't have a clear plan put together yet.

Ummmm, animals will kill you anyway, they're already a threat, zombie or no zombie. Running into th woods means running away from zombified cities and towards good-old fashioned bears. What the hell is wrong with you guys?

Great, its a toss up between zombies and bears? What about Zombie Bears then. You know what, screw it. I'm going straight to a missile silo, figuring out a way to launch the nukes and then launch them all over the world. If the zombies don't get you, the nukes will!

Shit, and I thought I'd checked thoroughly enough! I'll be in the corner.

Zombie squirrels?
