I'll be worried about the end of the world when I see the signs...

GW will put Squats on the release schedule.

Pokemon will finally go away.

The internet will become a respectful community where everyone is nice and has perfect spelling and grammar.

Surely these events would be the harbingers of doom!

Bollocks, says I.

Ok if this thing happens and millions of people die then it can only lead to one thing... ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! Start investing in Shotguns, booze, and fresh bottled water. We'll kill cows and chickens when necessary, build bonfires in the middle of libraries, and spend our days honing our sniper skillz. If you have an underground bunker in the works I would suggest adding a helicopter pad (above ground of course).

im a scientist..... you wouldnt beleave me if i said "there is a chance your head could explode in the next 5 seconds".... YES there is a chance, but its so fractionaly small that it wouldnt even be worth me saying that, theoreticly theres a chance that anything can happen.... may be several hundred figure number to 1, but still.... thats a chance...

About as close as i think we'll ever get to true zombies sadly...

I'm wondering if you folks over in the US would be happier about a zombie apocalypse than us in the UK. You've all got fairly easy access to firearms, all we can easily get over here are air pistols.

Actually, it'd be quite funny when you got over here to rescue us with all your fancy weaponry just to find us brits running around the streets, de-capitating zombies with sharpened lampshades, drinking warm beer and criticising your foreign policies.

Shaun of the dead anyone? XD

im with assassin on this one
bollocks to the lot of it.

er...start investing...?

Well, if the zombie apocalypse is anything like the resistance games, Russia will go first followed by europe, then england, england will then be saved by the americans, and then it would come to america. I wonder...what happened to Africa and Japan in that game?

This just goes to prove my point in life rules:Anything, everything, and anyone can kill you. Even the sun wants us all dead.

us saved by you?
aslong as that does not include any friendly fire that sounds ok, allthough i rather invest in a boat if that kind of thing happens, we all know zombies cant swim. [ref: diary of the dead]




lets face it, these days everything is "bad" for us, there are so many rules and regulations now its a fething joke
maccy D fries used to be great since they actually put salt on them, now they are salt-less (real word?)

same with ready salted chrisps, they are now iron baking tray flavour due to no salt

Well, not by me specifically, but by a guy named Nathan Hale who is half zombie and half human.

Everything has been bad for us, its just recently that we have received knowledge of the bad to us-ness.

The Japanese also have a volcanic eruption early warning system.

It's only really helpful to build a warning system when you can do something about it. Like move away from effected areas. I'm not sure if America can dodge a solar flare.

Maybe instead of dodging they'll try to destroy the sun so it wouldn't happen.

yeah, we cant be zombified anfd therefor well be left with everone else eather dead or halkf zombified.....

America has some scots and so there's scottish blood in most americans, except we also have other bloods too, so we're like a hybrid species or something. That's how we save england.

It's absolutely true, no-one can tell the difference between a zombie and Scotsman the day after a win or a defeat in international Rugby.

That proves it.

Any moment Grotsnik is going to chime in and I'll have to get out my Scot Hooligan to Texan translator out again. Wha?

Comparing a country to canada is like comparing a country to france, its an insult.

I am joking, or am I?

...like zombies.

Obviously, Zombies are created by Solar Flares, so they're worried about the right thing, for once.

Personally, I'd rather only use firearms as an emergency measure for a Zombie Apocalypse, as they tend to be very loud and attract unwanted attention. Sneaking up on and beating the hell out of/decapitating a zombie that's between you and a hiding spot seems to be the best course.

You realise that theories like this have been flying around for thousands of years, with 'scientific backing'?

What about silencers? Actually, i bet the states has some kind of law stating that whilst it is perfectly legal to own firearms, you can't have silencers because it makes them sound less cool or something...

I know. So far it's been a complete let down.

Yes, and with our imaginations and popular fiction we can believe it more than ever.

Nope, you can get silencers and hellfire triggers.

Hellfire triggers make a weapon almost like an automatic, kind of like double tapping the trigger.
