@joemono: I don't know whether it would kill them. It may hinder them as any muscle on them would be unusable so you may just end up with a stiff pile of blackened moaning zombies.

@Git Em SteveDave: I'd play the Benny Hill chase theme song. ;)

@kl0an: Oh darn! I remember seeing that in Mythbusters...ok...I'd bust out my Zippo lighter! Ha!

As somebody who used to work with a group of disabled people, I can assure you that many have a transcendentally warped sense of humour. I would pass your remark on to them in a heartbeat.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> @joemono: The answer is yes, but it will also burn down the house, if not the whole neighborhood. You see, zombies don't immediately drop dead when they catch fire, so they have this tendency to burn a while. And other zombies don't really mind that, so they catch on fire as well. And well, you can guess what this end up leading to. Burning zombies after dispatching them with a headshot is a good idea, though.

Is there a place that sells this book in MS Reader format?

Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> @Silver_Back: Also, your idea sounds like Home Alone meets [zombie_movie_of_choice].

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> @Smeagol92055: Why would the last man be in a wheelchair? You'd think they'd fall prey to the zombies relatively quickly seeing as how they can't move fast.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> @Silver_Back: Hilarious and innovative! LOL! I have to see a scene like that in the next Hollywood zombie movie or I won't be able to go on living.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> Congratulations on your book! It's next on my read list for the summer.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> Lisa,

I actually already own your book, and I thought it was fantastic! I hope its a success, and that you do more quirky stuff like this.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> But what if the rubber band snaps?

Then you're just running from zombies with a useless strip of rubber rubbing against your foot. How irritating.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> If zombies were ever to bust into my house I'd drop gallons of oil on the steps and watch them slip all over the place. Once I know I've got them all on the ground I drop a match. Mwahaha!

Silver_Back

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> Good idea, but now I have to buy the book to find out the Japanese remedy for having your feet torn to shit after running through the apocolypse barefoot.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> That is pretty cool. Hmm, I should design a sock.

Ghede

]]> <![CDATA[How to Outrun Zombies, and Other Ways to Solve Problems Japanese-Style]]> Sounds like those "Doctors book of home remedies" books I used to see on TV when I was a kid combined with the "Worst Case Scenario" series.
