Given the local climate, it makes sense that University of Florida students would be prepped on what to do in case of a hurricane. But a recent disaster-recovery exercise posted on the college's Web site has turned heads by also informing students how to respond to "flesh-eating, apparently life-impaired individuals." In other words, zombies. According to the site, the recommended course of action against the undead is "baseball bats and explosives," and it warns students that zombies can be identified by their "strange moaning."
However, before you start worrying about an overzealous student attempting to brain amorous couples at the next frat party, we are sad to report the link was just taken down, and that university officials dismissed it as a "joke that didn't really belong."
To which we say: Shame on you, University of Florida. It's going to be even less funny when your entire class of 2013 ends up having their flesh devoured because you didn't properly prepare them for the walking dead.

That my friend is the reason I always keep a hatchet in my back pocket. Any good Zombie hunter knows the easiest way to kill a Zombie is to take off their head.

wrong buddy. cutting off the head of a zombie will only make a moving wriggling snapping zombie head, you have to destroy the cerebrum my friend. you have to cut off the impulses into the nervous system to "kill" the zombie.

Texas is so much friendlier than Florida, instead of warning of zombie attacks and telling you to beat them, someone fixed the highway signs in Austin to alert motorist to zombie's crossing the highway. We want our zombie's to make it safely to the other side of the highway.

Nobody seems to give due concideration to the threat that zombies produce. Perhaps after a good zombie infestation in Florida, they wil not turn a blind eye to a good samaritan trying to provide a helpful warning.

The first thing THEY do is take over the Administration, who removes the instructions telling you how to survive.
Works every time.

Hey everybody.....we are talking about Florida...this is a normal, everyday thing there. Zombies were there when I was there in the 70's...all you had to do is go to white castle for one of those little square cheesburgers about 3:00am during finals and the place was filled with them.

I think that UF should be prepared for any possible disaster. Having gone to this fine institution, I can testify to the presence of zombies, especially during finals week. Too bad the administration has already been eaten!

Geez, how depressing. I laughed for two days over this. I even suggested a zombie disaster plan for our company; they didn't think it was necessary. What a shame. I think people need to remember that humor is the best remedy for the most difficult times in our lives. Shame on the University of Florida for taking down the link.
