BRNHR!


Man, seriously, zombie stuff will never stop being awesome to me. Yes, we hit an oversaturation point a few years ago, but like Chinese food, it is simply impossible for me to have too much of it.

" (AP)-- The University of Florida is prepared for all sorts of disasters. Even zombies.

A disaster-recovery exercise that explains how the school could respond to an outbreak of the undead was posted on the UF e-Learning Support Services website. The site also contains plans for events such as hurricanes.

The zombie attack exercise lays out the university's response to attacks by ``flesh-eating, apparently life impaired individuals.''

``Some employees may prefer weapons such as chain saws, baseball bats, and explosives that have been shown to be effective against zombies,'' the plan says.

It includes an ``infected co-worker dispatch form'' that has a place to list the co-worker's symptoms such as ``lack of rational thought (this can cause problems confusing zombies with managers).''

A University of Florida spokesman said the exercise was designed to ``add a little bit of levity'' to disaster preparation discussions.

The plan was no longer available on the UF website Thursday."

The plan may not be on the website anymore, but they should know that nothing dies on the internet. Indeed, I found the pdf on Google Docs. I highly recommend reading it, especially the Infected Co-worker Dispatch Form.

Smooches,
