How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse
Okay you guys.
I was thinking about the Modern Pentathlon again today, what with the Olympics starting on Friday and all (my gods - the two days that the modern pentathlon is scheduled for are the first two days of school!! How is that fair?!), and I made a stunning realization.
Earlier today, I had taken a Zombie Survival Quiz sent to me by my brother (supposedly, I would survive). Going through the "correct answers" after the test, it seemed like the ideal zombie survivalist would be someone pretty athletic: a good runner, have good endurance, be able to use knives, swords, and guns, ride horses etc. etc. ditto ditto...
AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!! THAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE MODERN PENTATHLON, RIGHT?? RIGHT!!
So the best way for the majority of the population to survive a zombie apocalypse would be to simply popularize the modern pentathlon!!
The modern pentathlon consists of equestrian with an unfamiliar horse, shooting, swimming, running, and epee fencing. If you're proficient in all of these, you've got your bases covered for any zombie outbreak. Really, you'd have to be kind of stupid to be able to do all of these things and still die. Or, I don't know, really, really unlucky.
And if you're looking at this post and thinking, "That's awesome, Molly, but how am I going to learn how to fence, ride horses, AND/OR shoot?" Well, I have you there.
While the original modern pentathlon is best, I've developed the modern modern pentathlon: biking, running, swimming, sling-shotting (or boomeranging if you're located in Australia), and faux fencing (like with sticks or staffs or something).
So am I right or what? :D
