My friend's eleven year old is very worried that if Obama wins
he will build more nuclear reactors and obviously, the natural byproduct of such is zombies.

He's decided that the best place to go to wait out a zombie attack is WalMart because of the food, guns, entertainment factor, plus not a lot of windows to board up.

This kid kills me. :rofl:

4. but if McCain wins
he'll use the nukes, which will turn even more people into zombies and there be no places to hide because they would have been destroyed by nukes

6. You have that wrong.
It's well-known that nukes create mutants, not zombies. The point becomes academic when they're chasing you, of course, but I thought it was important to note.

11. ok but what if
first mccain builds more nukes, which turns people into zombies, and in the meantime he also launches the nukes and the fallout and radiation exposure mutates the zombies???

then we would have mutant zombies???

12. Maybe they'd be relatively normal. McCain '08!
That last bit felt bad to type, by the way, even in jest. Home Fries has to get the boot with all his neocon buddies, it need hardly be said, no matter how his mutant zombies end up.

28. Electricity. Ironic isn't it?
Will it be nuclear generated electricity? I would think it would almost have to be. What if the sun doesn't shine and it isn't windy? Mutants could take over the world!

33. Actually the distinction between a zombie and a mutant is an important one...
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 02:32 PM by primate1
The zombie's ability to survive without food, water or oxygen makes it much more formidable than any mutant. (We're not talking X-Men mutants here, that's just ridiculous, haha.) You could kill a mutant through the same means as a human, presumably, but a zombie requires significant damage to the brain.

The survival tactics when being chased by a zombie or a mutant would be quite different.

Please tell us the 11 year old is a satirist and not just one more reason for me to worry about America.

17. our plan started after i read The Zombie survival guide, then my daughter read it
"we need a plan, first you need to teach me drive a stick shift".

This thing has been a running joke for a few years in my house and then a few kids at my daughter's school have also read the book and have come up with their own plans, her english teacher finally decided to make an assignment out of it and it was pretty damn funny, these kids had some really good ideas.

Zombamas? Obambies?
