We don't think this actually has a chance of happening, do we? I've always thought it was a fun topic to talk about - what 3 stars would you have on your Zombie Apocalypse fighting squad? You know - stuff like that. But when I see people doing actual studies (that take time and funds to put together) ranking which states would fare best to worst if an actual zombie apocalypse breaks out, things start getting a little weird.

A zombie apocalypse isn't happening! And if it does Bigfoot and the aliens will save us, no worries.

Rant Casino commissioned the study which looked to "replicate a hypothetical zombie apocalypse in which the deceased are resurrected as the living dead. The research evaluates both the nominal and relative concentrations of zombies in administrative subdivisions of the United States. Estimates for this study are based on a sample of 369,240 globally geolocated cemeteries and over 200 million registered graves acquired from an established public database of cemetery records, Find a Grave (owned by Ancestry.com)."
