    While it's clever and kinda cute, I think the CDC prompting people to prepare for made up epidemics is probably not their best angle these days.

    That said, we already have a zombie apocalypse plan 'round here, so we're good.

    Thats a stupid article. Everyone know that if you really want to prepare for zombies you study the movie zombie land. It has great tips of how to stay alive.

    Well, I agree, but it's not like they bought TV time or anything, it was a blog posting.

    Just make sure you're in pretty good shape as your cardio needs be good. When the zombie outbreak first hits, the first to go, for obvious reasons... will be the fatties.

    I can't WAIT to be called "Houston"!

    Not so much dumb as lazy, disengaged and very easily bored (myself included).
