Are You Ready for the Zombie Apocalypse Tomorrow?

 For those of you who haven't heard the news, Christian radio broadcaster and president of Family Radio Harold Camping has used complex biblical numerology to determine that the rapture is tomorrow.  I am a little off topic here, but I figure since, according to Camping, most of us will be ghosts in the next few months it is a more ghostly topic than most may think. Thousands of Campings followers have sold all their worldly possessions and abadoned their families to prepare for the end of times.   According to Camping,  only 200,000 people will be raptured tomorrow.  Only the most loyal will be taken to heaven.  As for the rest of us, he is pretty specific in what we can expect.  We will all have to survive hell on earth until October 21st when the world will end.   In the New York Times Camping said:

"When the clock says about 6 p.m., there’s going to be this tremendous earthquake that’s going to make the last earthquake in Japan seem like nothing in comparison. And the whole world will be alerted that Judgment Day has begun. And then it will follow the sun around for 24 hours. As each area of the world gets to that point of 6 p.m. on May 21, then it will happen there, and until it happens, the rest of the world will be standing far off and witnessing the horrible thing that is happening."

What is the next horrible thing, you may ask?  Many believe it will be zombies.  The CDC issued an alert (CDC officials claimed in the New York Times it was only to draw attention to their hurricane preparedness plan, but I think they know the zombies are coming) on their blog.   The CDC blog is titled Zombie Preparedness 101.   http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp  .  The CDC isn't alone.  I found this sign on The Frog Queen's blog:   http://strangelittlegirlblog.blogspot.com/


So, in order to help all my readers prepare for the zombies that will probably start flooding our streets on Sunday, I have taken some tips from The Zombie Survival Guide, the CDC, and from my fading zombie blog to help you put off becoming a ghost and survive Sunday's zombie hoard.   Of course, Camping could be wrong.   He was wrong when he predicted the end in 1994, but it is better to be safe than sorry with these types of things.  

1. Always have a pack prepared with all the supplies you need in case you have to run.  Don't forget food, water, water purification supplies, lots of ammo, and blunt objects.  The CDC recommends you have the following items in your emergency preparedness kit:
•Water (1 gallon per person per day)

•Food (stock up on non-perishable items that you eat regularly)
•Medications (this includes prescription and non-prescription meds)
•Tools and Supplies (utility knife, duct tape, battery powered radio, etc.)
•Sanitation and Hygiene (household bleach, soap, towels, etc.)
•Clothing and Bedding (a change of clothes for each family member and blankets)
•Important documents (copies of your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few)
•First Aid supplies (although you’re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these supplies to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get during a tornado or hurricane)


2.  Always use bludgeoning tools before guns when possible when facing a zombie.  Ammo will run out quickly and you'll never run out of bullets with an axe.

3. Avoid cities and towns.   When the people start dying, urban areas will be flooded with zombies. Find someplace remote where people didn't go much in life.

4.  Travel on foot when possible.  Roads will become backed up and traffic accidents and fires will draw the zombie hoard.   Walk quietly in the woods and avoid notice.

5.  Drink Trappist Ales.  I hear they repel zombies and they'll dull the pain if you are eaten alive.  I know I want to be drunk if I'm going to be disemboweled.



I hope all of you have a happy rapture day tomorrow and survive the zombie hoard on Sunday!  You know, I just realized my advice was go into the woods with guns and weapons and drink lots of beer.  Keeping that in mind, make sure people are dead before you shoot them or hit them.  Enjoy!
