    Am I the only one for whom standard hallway conversation seems to be about the correct weapon and ammo choice for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse.

    Not likely, but I wouldn't admit it publicly. :)

        I believe Cardio and the Double Tap are the accepted norms for the best defence.

        I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

          This[^] is obviously the correct answer to this discussion. I mean, it is zombie certified...

              No. A similar discussion happens at our office roughly once a week. :laugh:

              This is a daily discussion in our office. That, and how stupid the people on "The Walking Dead" are... still fun to watch though!

                Nope. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning is information exchange about the last weekend, the other days of the week about each others plans for the next weekend.

                  I often worry that a zombie apocalypse has begun as a drive to work in the mornings. Then I think, would zombies really congregate at bus stops on the outskirts of Walsall?

                                        The correct weapon is one with out ammo. For 1 your ammo can run out as the zombies will bring normal societal economics to a grind. For 2, when they are flooding in and you need to reload you will really wish you had a 4 ft long Katana to just hack away. I never understand why this is not a given.

                                        If zombies were flooding in, do you really think you could wind up and just crank their heads up with a 4ft blade? Can I buy weed from you?
