How to Fight Zombies

An instructional website on how to fight the coming Zombie Scourge.  eHow.

I don't know how I'd take their advice.  They advocate beheadings.  Getting up close and personal with a Zed with edged weapons.  Remember if you are close enough to chop off a Shamblors then IT is close enough to grab you and gnosh a little of your precious skin.

They also like shotguns.  If I told people once I told them a thousands times... don't use shotguns against zombies as a primary weapon.  While effective on a few, zombies come in hordes.  Shotguns are slow to load, generally, and the ammo is relatively heavy and bulky to carry enough of.  They are a specialty weapon.  C'mon people, you've used a shotty in first person shooters, you KNOW this.

They misname a group of zombies as a 'flock.'  Zombies don't flock, like birds or sheep.  Birds and sheep aren't as malevolent.  A group is a known as a Horde.  And are as dangerous as 100,000 angry Mongols bearing down on your village in the Ukranian Steppe. 

Take the advice with a grain of salt.
