Are you worried about the Zombie Apocalypse?  I know I sure am.  Have a little extra dough hanging around this holiday season?  I know I sure do (I am the 1%).  Are you a fan of limited edition items and machetes?  I know I sure am.  Then the Gerber limited edition Apocalypse kit is for your.  Featuring many pointy and blady “tools” for survival, it has 3 machetes (!) including the previously posted Gator Machete pro, it is the perfect gift for your paranoid loved one.  There is a limited stock of 200, and the price point is $349, a bargain in my opinion.

I was halfway through a post about how this could be the perfect Zombie fighting weapon, it is one part ax, one part machette, one part knife, and a dozen parts bad ass, but as I continued to read I discovered that it already has made a cameo in The Walking Dead… I havent seen the season premire yet so no spoilers.  When we start making tools and weapons with the Zombie Apocalypse in mind, is that not a sign of an impending Zombie Apocalypse? From Uncrate: “Here’s yet another essential to add to your zombiepocalypse toolbox. The Gerber Gator Machete Pro ($55) was designed with zombie killin’ in mind — you can see it in use on The Walking Dead — and as such features a multi-purpose blade that can be used as an axe, machete, or knife, a grippy rubberized handle, a military nylon sheath, and an included sharpening stone to keep it ready for action when you’re on the move. Oh, and you can also use it for clearing brush, chopping through branches, and other more mundane tasks.”

First World Problems: Concern about the Zombie Apocalypse

A recent study by the Oxford Internet Institute examined the amount and location of Google searches for the word Zombie.  Their findings, which are presented in the stunning infograph above (open in a new window/tab, or follow the link for a larger image) reveal that the bulk of searches appear in mainly developed areas of the globe.  I guess people in Africa and South America have more things to worry about than potential zombie outbreaks… although after a quick Google search when the zombie apocalypse does happen if will for sure begin in one of those areas.  Full findings below from Oxford:

“The map reveals two important spatial patterns. First, much of the world lacks any content mentioning “zombies” whatsoever. Second, and related, the highest concentrations of zombies in the Geoweb are located in the Anglophone world, especially in large. The results either provide a rough proxy for the amount of English-language content indexed over our planet, or offer an early warning into the geographies of the impending zombie apocalypse.”
