When the current Pig Flu turns everyone else into zombies, we are going to need to protect ourselves. PH, we must be prepared.

Here's the rules.

You are allowed 1 weapon.

Said weapon must currently be in the room you are currently occupying, as when the zombies break into your house, you aren't going to have much time to wander about to find your 6-iron.

For the purposes of this study, the zombie is felled by removing the head or destroying the brain, as in Shaun of the Dead.

Remember guys, 1 weapon, from the room you are in right now. Good luck.


I'm in my uni room at the moment, so I don't have many sharp implements of any great size. I think i would end up having to use my wall-mounted TV stand, as its the only thing with sharp-looking corners, and could probably lop one or two heads off if I tried. I wouldn't last long though I expect, its a pretty small bit of kit and I would get overwhelmed by the sheer number of mutants.

Over to you.

My 8 year old son. Raised on Halo and Gears of War (completed GOW 2 before me....little ste) I'm sure he'd rather kick zombie butt that do his homework. 8pm is bedtime....so they better come quick or i'm on my own!

Remove the side panels of my PC and sharpen the edges...then attatch one to each side of the body of my guitar

Would be quite effective if swung at speed I suspect, kind of like an axe.....ok, probably not but it's the best I can do.

Or I could break the mirror and use the glass in some way.

Or dumbells and bludgen them to death

That would be an awesome sight.

Whilst it would sadden me to see it go to such a use, my funky enamel table top weighs a fair bit and has a removable and quite pointy base.
Or Bob, my attack Chinchilla. He's bitten before, so I would just have to hope his killer instinct comes out a bit sharpish.

Got one of these. I imagine it would be rather good at lopping some zombies heads away, sharpen the edges (moreso) and its the ultimate hunting weapon!

Destroy their brains?

I'd give them a shufty of my cock, it's mindblowing.

Can we assume such action-film clichés as hurling oneself out the window and landing neatly without injury, clasping (wait for it)... the keys to what is, after all, a ton and a half of metal capable of self-propulsion at some quite injurious speeds.

Oh go on.

It is a car forum, after all.

You never know, they might appreciate having their teeth cleaned?

Sadly, I don't think you will last long. If I come across a zombie holding a toothbrush, I will give you a wave.

Machete with a razor sharp edge.

I don't anticipate that I will have any zombie problems.

Unless they can operate without heads. I mean, SOTD is hardly gospel is it? But with no head they will surely feel a bit disorientated, at least.

One of these:



*Providing of course I can remember which box it's been stored in, and which wardrobe said box has been stored in.

....a fair point, though thinking about it I would probably just hide in the attic, grab the food from the fridge and jump up there, there is a water supply and It could last me enough time I suspect to survive when the undead starve to death (as in 28 days later), Dont think they can jump 8ft or so to get in unless they are smart.
lots of time to make some makeshift weapons and there would most definately be something up there to use

Gordon Brown. Ultimate weapon.

He can bore them to death - Zombies will literally rip their own heads off rather than listen to him. Failing that, he'll double-dead them when they attempt to eat him. Poisonous to his very core.
