U.S. States Ranked in Terms of Liklihood of Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

U.S. States Most And Least Likely To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse | Estately Blog

Indiana and Ohio just barely made the cut for the survival side of the ledger, but somehow, Illinois and Kentucky ranked higher than us.

See if you agree with their ranking criteria, which are multitudinous.

Of course IL ranked higher than us, Chicago is IL's biggest city, you know zombies eat brains and don't attack their own so they won't go anywhere near there.

Unfortunately, it's probably the obesity factor that has us lower in the rankings.

We scored poorly on:
Obesity
Physically Active
Military Personnel (bases)

Really? With the US's third largest base right here in southern indiana? I know where I'm going.

Roll through any grocery store and you will see we are a pretty "Fat" state.....

Six of the eleven criteria were measured by counting Facebook interests...

(source—percentage of Facebook users who listed “martial arts” as an interest)

Just when the whole zombie thing was quieting down you had to go and bring it up again? When I turn, CIB, I'm going after you first. Will be wearing a m'cycle helmet and lotsa make up.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Also, that "article" is full retard as it places paintball and laser tag skills as part of the ranking without considering hunting or marksmanship.

It is pretty funny but I would take a team of Hoosiers over one based on Internet zombie commando rankings.

I would substitute hunting, trapping and gardening for paintball, laser tag and Mtn biking. Then I would have all the deer hunters shoot the paintballers so the gardeners would have less mouths to feed.

The moron that wrote that has likely never played paintball - it is more about team movement and coordinated fire than "slinking around the woods".

Sorry, all! I'm the obese guy in Indiana dragging our ratings down!

rhino out!

I have to disagree with their assessment of Washington DC:

49th—DISTRICT OF COLUMBIAOur nation’s capital has almost no knowledge of zombies, martial arts, or firearm ownership. It’s going to be an all-you-can-eat brain buffet for the zombies.

It's Washington, home of the federal government. The complete and utter lack of brains means any zombies are going to do whatever the zombie equivalent of starving to death is.

Nah, yer just a grey, chubby unicorn.....

I'm worried about people trying to escape from Michigan.

 

[savage308]

Pretty much anywhere east of the Mississippi and West of the Mountains are screwed. Too many people per square mile. The only saving grace for us in the north is a harsh winter that would immobilize the threat.

I think I can handle the zombies, they are slow and don't need a double tap if the first is on target. It's the stupid panicking humans that have me worried. If I can get clear of them I'll be fine.

If there is a zombie apocalypse I plan on cowering behind Rhino until he runs out of ammo.

Paintballers could also be a supplemental food source.









Perhaps I've said too much.

Explains why Nebraska did not make the cut. Pretty sure the internet has not arrived to much of the state. My guess is the 10 people on facebook living in Montana and Wyoming probably own plenty of guns and you have to be physically fit to be a rancher.
