hmm Id have a storeroom in the basement with canned food, mres, lots of bottled water , guns and ammo to last at least a year
Well of course I want it. It does seem practical, and if the glass is super thick, then it should hold the Zed off. But you know... better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry. Better safe than sorry...betersafethansorrybettersafethansorry
Mosquitos digest the HIV virus. Assuming that zombification is caused by a virus, and it survives a mosquito's digestive process, you are still assuming that people will certainly get bitten by bugs, and the bugs will certainly carry the virus.wagglelance said:
I want 12 spread out every five miles near the closest food mart/gun store.
Well, there's my zombie plan.
All I could think of after reading this was about the crazy religious reds in Red vs. Blue, "We must protect this house! We must protect this house!!"

That largely depends on how it is designed. The door itself can be of arbitrary durability, limited largely by the need for a powerful motor to lift the door. Once down, most garage doors are held shut by little more than their own mass but one could simply include any of a number of latching mechanisms that ensure opening the door would be at least as difficult as simply breaking through the door.distantworlds said:
I'd love to see the door to door salesman's face when the owners hit the panic button...

yeah but what they probablly don't explain is that the house offers zero real security. it's just a bunch of football players jumping around in a circle shouting " WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE! WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE" at the zombies until you're all brutally murdered, by you guessed it, zombies
Speaking as a Pittsburgher (and therefore zombie expert), I must say that there are two flaws in this account. One, the boast about the armaments required to pierce it is dubious, as we have railguns and lasers now (plus I doubt you could stop all the normal military ordinance quite so easily). And two, unless there's a way to operate this wonder and all of its moving parts manually in addition to electronically, it will be less than amazingly useful when the power runs out. I like it, otherwise. It DOES look safe. I personally like the Burt Gummer approach better, but this has possibilities.
(EDIT: Ah crap, I didn't even notice someone necro'd this.

Yeah, it's a necro.
I would assume that there's some sort of internal power supply, a heavy-duty generator or something, enough to allow you to button it up once in case of apocalypse. After all, it's not like you're going to swing it open every morning to get some fresh air and sunshine if the world is overrun by the risen dead.
