If you’re not afraid of the impending zombie apocalypse, there’s something wrong with you.  A healthy fear and respect for zombies is what will separate the mobile humans from the recently deceased.  Any self-respecting zombie fan knows that, and amazingly, so do the Centers for Disease Control.  The CDC, an arm of the federal government of the United States, has issued a zombie outbreak preparedness guide in the form of a blog post.  Here’s the CDC’s official zombie preparedness guide (and the Google Cache version in case it’s still crowded).

Here’s the thing:  the way to prepare for a zombie apocalypse is pretty much the same way you should prepare for any natural disaster, it’s just that the CDC knows that zombies are more fun than tornadoes and whatnot, so they’re using zombies as a very smart way to A) get the information out there and B) get people to pay attention.  CDC hurricane preparedness tips?  Yawnzilla.  CDC zombie preparedness tips?  Way more interesting.

I have to admit, while I know this is just a gimmick, it’s also got some very important tips for how to prepare for any disaster and how to take care of yourself in the immediate aftermath of said disaster.  From zombies to tornadoes to ice spiders, preparedness is key.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
