a BlackBerry. It's not even good at what it's supposed to do, so I doubt it will be any good in thwarting a zombie attack.

A standard stapler. Has an ammo capacity of 50 rounds. Great for close quarter battle and as a swinging melee weapon. At least, that's what I'm telling myself right now.

Found this online at Instructables.com

How To Use A Stapler As A Weapon:



This is an instructable that will show you how to turn a simple office tool into a weapon of self defense.

NOTE: DO NOT THIS AT PEOPLE, ANIMALS, OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU SHOULDN'T BE POINTING A WEAPON AT. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURIES INCURRED IN THE MAKING OR USAGE OF THIS OBJECT.

Step 1 Check the stapler



Give your stapler a quick check to see if it can be used. Is it full of staples? Is it easy to move? You don't want to find out that your stapler won't work when robbers have broken into your company.

Step 2 Put your stapler into "attack" mode



In order to get your stapler to work, you need to put into tacking mode. This can be done by looking on the bottom of your stapler and pressing the tacking lever. You should now be able to move the top part freely (NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS OPENING THE TOP OF YOUR STAPLER TO FILL IT WITH STAPLES). To help, I have provided these pictures.

Step 3 Hold it steady...



You're almost done! Now you're going to need the two parts of the stapler at a 180 degree angle. After you achieve this, grip the silver part tightly, but not so tight as to fire a staple. NOTE: WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGER OVER THE STAPLE HOLE.

Step 4 FIRE!



The moment of truth... tighten your grip on the stapler until the stapler sounds and a staple comes out. POW! The reason this is classified as a weapon is that if shot from close range, it can cause injury and death. Have fun, and be careful!

Fun things I found:







Apparently, Brownells has gotten into the Zombie Awareness Program.

They are now selling the Surefire 60 round AR15 magazine for $129.
They're also taking pre-orders for the Surefire 100 round AR15 magazine for $179. Hmm, that's a lot of bullets with no reload time! :)

Research has shown that mankind is not completely prepared for the zombie apocalypse, so in order to better prepare you and your family, here’s a list of ten zombie facts you might not have thought about.

1. You can’t drown them.
They’re dead, right? So drowning them, or trying to, is a waste of time. I don’t know if they would simply walk along the bottom of a lake, river or moat, and lurch up the other side, but being underwater isn’t going to be a solution. Besides, who wants to risk a lake full of zombie carp?

2. They can still react.
Not think, really, but they can see, hear, and until the rot reaches their nasal cavities, smell. So, you can’t hide yourself and your location by simply stretching a tarp over an otherwise open window or doorway. You have to do better than that. They’re dead, not inert.

3. It’s not just infection.
Before the surge in zombie research, there was one commonly accepted origin of zombies: voodoo. So, the next time you are thinking of booking a cruise that stops in ports where voodoo is a commonly accepted practice, think again.

4. There are no pack zombies.
With no real social order, zombies don’t travel in packs. However, what catches the eye of one zombie is likely to ensnare the attention of the next one along, too. So, where there’s one, there are probably more. They just aren’t there together.

5. Endo or exo?
That is, are zombies endothermic or exothermic? For those who slept through the tech classes in school, do they generate heat? Simple answer: No, they’re undead. Well, most are. The viral zombies, the fast-movers who are amped-up corpses, have to be exothermic. But the shufflers are endothermic. So, in a cold snap, the shufflers are going to shuffle slower and slower until they freeze. Of course, at the next thaw… Meanwhile, the fast-movers will move a bit slower, but still move quickly.

6. They’re zombies, not terminators.
While a zombie can “terminate” you, they aren’t unstoppable death-dealing machines. Keep that in mind while you’re being “stalked” by a shuffler, or you spot a fast-mover reacting to your presence. Stay calm, and keep in mind the next fact:

7. The head is the goal, but there are ways to get there.
Since zombies don’t have firearms, they have to reach you to infect you. That means that if you remove the means of locomotion, you can run or reload. So, with a stout enough cartridge you can take a pelvic or thigh bone shot, drop them to the ground, and finish them off as they pull themselves towards you — they aren’t going to stop, remember?

8. Fire is bad.
Yes, unlike drowning, fire will kill a zombie, but that’s the meager good news. The bad news is, it won’t notice being on fire — they’re dead, how many times do I have to repeat that? — so it will simply spread the fire everywhere they shamble. Put down that Molotov cocktail.

9. The idea of zombies.
They entered our awareness, with that word, in 1929, in a novel. That same year, the stock market crashed, and the Great Depression began. Coincidence? I’ll let you decide that one.

10. Not all undead are zombies.
Fans of Buffy will be aware of that. There is more deadness walking the earth than just zombies. Vampires are dead. Mummies are dead. A lot of 401Ks are dead, and I know of at least one dead Plymouth Fury that still moves. They all need something different to kill them, and if you get it wrong, you’re toast. Or a zombie/vampire/movie of the week star.

There you go; ten things you might not have known, forgotten, or just didn’t care about. Get back to reading the CDC reports on viral outbreaks, and avoiding people with really hacking coughs.
