Champion 34263 Chicago | Subject: RE: I call dibs in case of zombie apocalypse Dangit! That's a good one too because of the height from the water and open space in front of the house in the unlikely event a zombie makes his or her way ashore. All the safe havens I'm finding are beachfront property. Great for a tan, not great for when the undead start walking out of the ocean! |

They can walk underwater per House of the Dead. They can tunnel per Resident Evil. But I never saw one fly a rocket... |

What about a James Cameron style submarine and parked it at the bottom of the mariana trench? Even though they are the undead I am sure their bodies still follow the laws of physics. |

I know they could walk but their bodies wont be able to stand the pressure, hence the laws of physics. |

I know they could walk but their bodies wont be able to stand the pressure, hence the laws of physics. No, I'm not joking. Pressure only effect air/gas pockets. Gases can be compressed, not liquids. Since they don't breath, their lungs can fill with water, thus ellimnating the compression effects. They would be fine. If you threw a dead body overboard, would it not sink to the bottom of the trench? What would you expect to happen to it? Since we are something like 98% water, NOTHING would happen to it. That's physics. THAT law of physics was the premise of the Abyss. Replace the air in your lungs with an oxigen carrying fluid, and you can go down for miles. Since zombies don't breath, that's not even an issue. Edited by Kido 2012-09-20 5:25 PM |

| Pro 9391 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: I call dibs in case of zombie apocalypse That's an awesome island. My wife and I have been looking at large acreages in the country and I came across this one in NE a while back. http://www.premieroutdoorproperties.com/viewlisting.php?returnstate=NE&listingid=226 300 Acre island in the middle of the Missouri River. Has an air strip and everything. It's on my list of places to conquer in the event of ZA. |

| Master 2277 Lake Norman, NC | Subject: RE: I call dibs in case of zombie apocalypse I might rather stay mobile... and armed. I'll take my old ride, "Gimel", in the zombie apocalypse... Loaded up with 120mm APAM-MP-T and XM rounds That APAM stands for Anti Personnel Anti Material. The XM1028? Think a 6-inch wide shotgun shell with 1,028 half-inch ball bearings coming at said zombies at almost 6,000 feet or 1,800 meters per second. Yes, that's over a mile per second. And yes, it is THAT ugly. Ergo... From 4,000 yards out (3,600+ meters)... from over 2 miles away, I could convert about 200 zombies into gazpacho in just over 1.5 seconds with a single trigger-pull. SPLAT!

(which is what I was thinking initially) But thanks for the 'lesson' in physics. |

Nothing to add except that I find it awesome that someone is debating how the laws of physics should apply to zombies walking at the bottom of the ocean. |

| Veteran 310 Kansas City | Subject: RE: I call dibs in case of zombie apocalypse +1 to the above. But, I'd be headed somewhere very very cold. When they freeze, way easier to walk around and do some bidness. Somewhere cold with a Costco to raid though. ;-) |

| Expert 2192 Greenville, SC | Subject: RE: I call dibs in case of zombie apocalypse there is a walmart distribution center with +10ft high razor wire fences just down the road. i'm going there. plenty of crappy food with preservatives and they sell guns so if i run out of the ammo i bring i can use whats there. i'm just worried how many others have the same idea... |

Dont be worried about who has the same idea... Be worried about how many will already be in there. A Walmart distribution center will easily have one to two hundred people working at one time. Imagine trying to kill all those zombies in order to find a safe haven.

| Champion 17756 SoCal | Subject: RE: I call dibs in case of zombie apocalypse That is a nice big island next to an already small population but the problem I see how will you survive there? I like these islands especially the first because it already has a wind turbine and solar pannels for power.
Can't make the pic show up here for some reason but here is the link.
