Well . . . no need to worry about Z day. I found this article the other day, and forgot to share it. Z day won't happen unless it's within the next couple days.

Well, just in case any of you are missing after the 21st, I just want to say it's been great knowing you! I wish you all the best...and the rest of you, I guess I'll see you at the apocalypse compound in Idaho assuming we're still invited!
My mom thinks I am crazy to be preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse, but she just sent me an email:
Are you prepared for the impending zombie invasion?
That's the question posed by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention in a Monday blog posting gruesomely titled, "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse." And while it's no joke, CDC officials say it's all about emergency preparation.
"There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for," the posting reads. "Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you'll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."
The post, written by Assistant Surgeon General Ali Khan, instructs readers how to prepare for "flesh-eating zombies" much like how they appeared in Hollywood hits like "Night of the Living Dead" and video games like Resident Evil. Perhaps surprisingly, the same steps you'd take in preparation for an onslaught of ravenous monsters are similar to those suggested in advance of a hurricane or pandemic.
"First of all, you should have an emergency kit in your house," the posting continues. "This includes things like water, food, and other supplies to get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp (or in the event of a natural disaster, it will buy you some time until you are able to make your way to an evacuation shelter or utility lines are restored)."
Other items to be stashed in such a kit include medications, duct tape, a battery-powered radio, clothes, copies of important documents and first aid supplies.
"Once you've made your emergency kit, you should sit down with your family and come up with an emergency plan," the posting continues. "This includes where you would go and who you would call if zombies started appearing outside your doorstep. You can also implement this plan if there is a flood, earthquake or other emergency."
The idea behind the campaign stemmed from concerns of radiation fears following the earthquake and tsunami that rocked Japan in March. CDC spokesman Dave Daigle told FoxNews.com that someone had asked CDC officials if zombies would be a concern due to radiation fears in Japan and traffic spiked following that mention.
"It's kind of a tongue-in-cheek campaign," Daigle said Wednesday. "We were talking about hurricane preparedness and someone bemoaned that we kept putting out the same messages."
While metrics for the post are not yet available, Daigle said it has become the most popular CDC blog entry in just two days.
"People are so tuned into zombies," he said. "People are really dialed in on zombies. The idea is we're reaching an audience or a segment we'd never reach with typical messages."

I think it's absolute genius!
Ha, see, the rest of the world is catching up to US !! My kids think I'm crazy for preparing for the Zombie uprising, however, it has given us a humorus method of discussing emergency planning, and they've really enjoyed putting their bug out bags together with the big knives and MREs I've given them. Oh, and the fire starter kits have been a bit hit too. Grown boys seem to really like weapons, fire & food stores for any reason I guess.
The radio stations are all a buzz about it today. We actually discussed this in our managers' meeting this morning too. 
On a happier note.... The Zombie knight game was pretty fun to play. I ended up wasting time trying to outfit myself with all dragon plate/scale there towards the end. The liches were kind of unbalancing though for most of the 'levels' if you outfit yourself with command gear and throw 8-9 of them out there 
I couldn't get through it either. Serious fight just to get the junkyards built to afford the heavy hitters and still got overrun, even with rampages! I'd repressed the failure until YOU had to bring it back up...
Let me know if you ever figure out a way through it, I gave up after about 50 failures.
For some strange reason I thought that sounded like a bible quote, turns out that it is...
Jay: You should read your Bible, sirs. You'll find all types of weird s**t in there. Like, did you know Jesus was a Jew?
teen 2: [Pause] Yeah.
In this case it turns out John 9:10 is "How then were your eyes opened?" See! Even the Bible wants you to tell me how to get through that level!!!!
Looking that up reminded me of Rylea Barlett. The little girl who was born blind and was the first person in the world to receive stem cell treatment for it. I can't find anything more current than 2010 where she read a prepared speech but I'm still just amazed that it isn't front page news every day! I mean, come on, from no light sensitivity to 20/400 vision (better than mine) from a few treatments? I did find something interesting but can't verify if it's the same girl (how many could there be in Webb City, MO?), but there was a Rylea Barlett acting in the Joplin, MO production of the Miracle Worker but not as Helen. This doesn't really belong in zombie sillynes unless you count the comparison between pre-zombie Jesus vs Chinese medicine. I mean, he did use his own spit and some clay to heal the blind guy in the book... BUT, I still get a little misty eyed thinking about a little girl finally being able to see her mother at the age of 7. I guess she's around 10 yrs old now and despite my hatred of politics, I'd love to see her debate a Conservative Republican about stem cell research!

Who would have thought those preachers were so critical to a win? Here's a tip you though Freaky, save the rampages until after you've lost all your units and the screen is full of zombies. Chances are, you'll refill your meter with the combine of doom.
