And they called me crazy when I told them I would probably just sleep in during a zombie apocalypse...ha! Science prevails once again!!!CantFaketheFunk said:Cassi used a physics model - called, of course, a "random walking" model - to predict the movement behavior of these not!zombies, and found that the chances of survival were significantly higher for someone hiding (presumably remaining motionless) in a complex structure such as a school or a shopping mall.
have you never heard this phrase? "the fun things in life all cost money"xmetatr0nx said:Yay for wasting grant money! Now if we could go back to practical application of this guys talents the world can be a better place.
That's a terrible plan. Eventually you'll run out of ammo or food or water or some other necessity and then you're at the top of a skyscraper with nothing but zombies between you and everything else.0p3rati0n said:Fuck science! I say go to your nearest skyscraper and camp out there and snipe the decaying bastards. Assuming zombies won't figure out how to operate an elevator then your good. As long as you plant claymores in the stair well.![]()
Thanks for quoting cracked so I don't have toPulse Reality said:Seriously. Your closest Shopping Mall or Supermarket or School or whatever is also the closest Shopping Mall or Supermarket or School to thousands of other people who are also very eager to survive these 'Random Walkers'. Do you know what would happen in such an event?.

Do you know what would happen in such an event?.. The above extremely valid point aside, there's also the fact that zombie's typically have basic sensory organs and therefore are not random walkers. If you just expect them to get lost in the mall your ass is dead. You need some form of weapon (Really just something you can swing with some weight on the end.) And it's probably a good idea to stay far away from malls, since they're constantly filled with mass amounts of easily infected people.

No I wouldn't. I love the cold, and I could break into a research station to take cover.philzibit said:And so would youGrayjack72 said:I don't trust this man. I would rather go to Antarctica, where Zombies would freeze before they even get to land.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. On second thought, if you want to save ammo, just throw shit at them XDPulse Reality said:I'm glad somebody noticed =-DGangster Amoeba said:Thanks for quoting cracked so I don't have toPulse Reality said:Seriously.

What about a school, though? Or a Police Station? Would Zombies be less dangerous if they were children or behind bars?
And (Again, to quote Cracked) the common thought of a Zombie is that it infects you with a bite. You wouldn;t want to use a melee weapon because you would risk being bitten. That said, you wouldn't want to aim for the Zombie's head. While it may be cool in films or games, you wouldn't want to sacrifice your precious ammunition for a cool headshot, would you? Make like the SAS and aim for the body!
as much science went into that book as the study as a no brainier. More rooms means less chance a random walker can enter a room and just hit a wall.CaptainCrunch said:Apparently Mr. Cassi is too busy conducting actual science (albeit ridiculous) to read a satirical work of fiction, by a former SNL writer.Fanusc101 said:Well, apparently Mister Cassi hasn't read the Zombie Survival Guide
