Relatively ancient and inactive

A while ago, I ran across this post by one of my favorite bloggers. It's a discussion of how different countries would fare in a zombie pandemic. Discuss! It goes over things like population density, public self-sufficiency, gun use, etc.
http://www.sublimeoblivion.com/2008/10/27/editorial-halloween-special-russia-of-the-dead/

US tops the list because of a not-too-high population density, gun ownership. The self-sufficiency, I don't particularly agree with. And I think that even zombies would freeze in a Russia winter, so it should come out on top. Anyway, it all depends on what kind of zombies they are - if they're living zombies, Russia would come out on top because they'd freeze to death. Canada's similar, but Canada's too Americanized and interconnected, while in Russia some villages are completely self-sufficient. China and India would be screwed big time because of high population density and non-fatal weather. Undead zombies, I agree that US will come out on top.

Imagine ten children playing a game of tag in a room - say that after a minute half of them have been ‘tagged’. Now imagine forty children playing the game in the same room. After half a minute, more than twenty of them would be tagged, since the average distance between them during the game would be twice smaller.
Totally going to make a quick and dirty sc map with that idea. Thanks cent!

Hehe, zombies...

(Note to self: Do not get a degree in genetic engineering, the world will be doomed.[Due to zombies ;)])

I lol'd at most of it. Most of it is very true, if it were to ever happen that is ;P.

I was searching for something I found when I was doing a project on The Zombie Survival Guide, and I stumbled across this:

The Zombie Survival Guide Quiz

This is what I was searching for. It looks pretty convincing.

Because Russia, like any country, does have a few bright sights and he's trying hard to find them. ;)

If the surface is overtaken by zombies, they're fucked: they can either try to land only to be eaten/infected by zombies (this idea will probably fail, because you can't land without support from the control centre... as far as I know), OR die of thirst/starvation on their station.

Astronauts are the unluckiest people in that situation. :P

No, they will obviously survive by eating themselves.
Or, they crashland into some building, survive, eat the dead zombies and use random astronaut gear to kill them. :omfg:

Because, in this particular case, at least, it has pretty much the lowest people per square inch anywhere in the world, as well as a very powerful army. Lul. The others, ask on a singular basis. Plus, I put the US up there :P. Anyway, how the hell did you think I found this? Googled 'WHO WILL SURVIVE IN ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE'?

I think the unluckiest people are... paralyzed Indians in MRI machines. They'd get eaten piece by piece, not all at once.

Well, If there was a Zombie Apocalyspe I would be finding the neareast military base and getting a way in.

If I were to pick my weapons to fight the zombies I would say Military-wise the best choice of weapons would be a ES Five-Seven because there are 20 bullets a clip which is useful when taking on two or more runners, and a P90 because clips are easy to remove and put in if carried in bulk, it is not loud and is very accurate, lightweight, and easy to handle, plus 50 bullets a clip.

Link for a picture of it.

Pfft. I'd take two Makarov PM's over that any day. They're old, but hard to break and very, very easy to fix, even without tools. And, of course, powerful enough to kick zombie ass.

Well, probably less killing power then yours, but I'd guess it's much faster to draw and aim and easier to carry.

Ever see Grindhouse? All the wheelchair/crutch people can get gun implants to replace their non fully functional limbs. They'll be fine.

NudeRaider -- PSA: ASUS apparently decided their RMA department needs to "become profitable" and for a while now outright tries to scam customers. They were called out on it a year ago, promised to change, but didn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pMrssIrKcY so my recommendation: Stop buying ASUS, and if you already have and need something RMA'd, make sure to not let them bully you into paying.
