I just signed up to see if I can survive the zombie apocalypse

) Is this too dorky or probably going to be fun?

That looks like it could be fun if done well, or it could be a pile of crap.

WakeOfAshes

I completely agree.... Which is why I was on the fence about doing it. I decided to pull the trigger and if it is a pile of crap I can pretend it never happened )

Like many things it's good in theory, but it comes down to the execution.

WakeOfAshes

I like my chances... Im bringing this \m/

WakeOfAshes

Kidding... But what I am really going to do is bring my sons zombie mask. and if I get down to 1 flag then I am going to strategically place it, put on the zombie mask, and pretend to be a zombie trying to get people.

One thing I have learned from zombie shows/movies, is that disguising yourself as a zombie is often a good way of surviving the apocalypse

yeah, that worked for Bill Murray in Zombieland....until he got shot

WakeOfAshes

Luckily for me it's just a fun run and there will probably be no guns, machetes or chainsaws.

if i was to do something like this i would rather play the part of a zombie than a runner

WakeOfAshes

That is actually free! They are accepting applications to be a zombie and they get to do it for free

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is ready for a zombie apocalypse. Gun owners got prepared for a zombie apocalypse. Now, the military and law enforcement are getting ready.

And next month, they'll begin training.

Security firm HALO Corp. announced yesterday that about 1,000 military personnel, police officials, medical experts and federal workers will learn the ins and outs of a zombie apocalypse, as part of an annual counter-terrorism summit , according to the Military Times.

Sure, the lesson is tongue-in-cheek -- and only a small part of the summit's more serious course load -- but a zombie-like virus outbreak is a good training scenario. Visitors will learn to deal with a worldwide pandemic, where people become crazy, violent and fearful. Zombies will roam the summit grounds in San Diego, Calif. harassing troops and first-aid teams that will be participating.

Further details are unclear, but the Military Times made sure to note that zombies are not real.

The training comes at a time when the term "zombie apocalypse" is so viral that several branches of government have released statements on the matter. Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security reported that "the zombies are coming" as part of a hilarious bid to get citizens to prepare for a real disaster.

The CDC has released similar statements using zombies as a playful guise to get the public prepared for actual disasters. To assure that no one's confused by these announcements, CDC told The Huffington Post that zombies are not real.
