So I was telling a buddy of mine, Justin<\/a>, about an iPhone app called Zombie Tools<\/a>, which seemed like a fun and useful tool should you live long enough to use it in the impending Zombocalypse. Justin is the show-runner for the web series, Dead-Wait<\/a>, so he is a bit of an expert on zombies.<\/p>\n

After checking out the app, he responded, “All it needs now is a built-in cardio routine\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6”<\/p>\n

Which got me thinking\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

The best cardio routine comes from running for your life. Naturally, then, it would seem logical that every true zombie preparedness plan include one “test zombie” to escape from. The only (and rather significant) problem is that one test zombie inevitably becomes two test zombies, then four escaped test zombies, then eight zombies rampaging through a zombie research center, then sixteen zombies spilling out into the streets, thirty-two zombies taking over a school, sixty-four zombies surrounding a mall, 128 zombies spreading throughout the city, and ultimately 256 zombies in your base, eating your d00dz.<\/p>\n

Obviously, it doesn’t stop there, but at this point, you’re either dead or one of them, so it doesn’t matter.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on how best to prepare for a zombie apocalypse?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
