That question always gets people thinking, though.
That, and "Do vampires pee if they drink too much blood?"
Generally, I'd say not - since it seems that they absorb blood much like the way we absorb alcohol - but let's just say this particular blood-sucker drank a LOT of blood. Would it piss plasma?
We will not discuss vampires in this thread. We need to concentrate all our attention on the coming zombie invasion. As the guide tells us; organize before they rise.
I concur. Vampires are cool but that discussion is for another time and another place. Besides, we don't have to worry about them wiping out humanity because then where will they get their blood?Quote:

Katanas would be fun for small crowds, but it can fail you if it gets lodged in some cranium when you're surrounded, or if you have no room to swing if backed into a corner.
How many times must you people be told? Machetes are the way to go. Trying to rely on blunt force trauma to kill a zombie is foolish. You may take one down, but how sure are you that he's down for good? A handgun is nice, but without training or experience how secure are you that you can land a headshot at any distance beyond point-blank? A machete is a tough, reliable edged weapon that gives the certainity of a bullet without the training or the finite nature of ammunition.Quote:

Your idea of a dive suit (I'm assuming you mean one of the 'armored' ones that are used for diving with sharks) would not be very practical on land. They're extremely heavy and constricting, trying to run in one would be awkward and would tire you out very quickly. These cons more than outweight the small benefits you'd get. Remember the guide; short hair, tight clothes.
If you were dumb enough to let yourself get backed into a corner, you won't survive long during the zombie invasion.Quote:

70 Round drums would be the way to go in the zombie invasion.
Not arguing with you here, a machete would definitely be part of my equipment. The gun would be purely as a back-up, and for anyone I would run into that might want to steal me Lucky Charms (among my other rations).Quote:

Not a full-on shark-suit, just a thick body-glove type wetsuit with stretchy fabric. The bite would still hurt, no doubt, but they wouldn't be able to get their choppers through the fabric.Quote:

Happens to the best of us. Better have a grenade handy to take as many of them with you as possible.Quote:

You could just wear one of those deep sea diving suits the Navy divers wore/wear. You wouldn't need to run, the zombies couldn't do shit to you.
Or a giant bubble, like that one Jackie Chan used to get down the mountain in...um...that one movie.
