Watch a Zombie Flash Mob Attack College of Staten Island's Cafeteria

2015-11-04T14:16:35-05:00

Just a normal day in the College of Staten Island cafeteria, right? WRONG. On this day, October 30th 2015, students eating or studying at the popular commissary were greeted by a flash mob of the undead. Being that this attack took place on the day before Halloween, it seems nobody saw it coming. Some of the diners scattered, while others stopped to let the world know of the attack via social media.

"Researchers" Declare New York City the Worst Place to Be During a Zombie Apocalypse

2015-10-30T09:11:35-04:00

"Researchers" at CareerBuilder recently created The Zombie Apocalypse Index, an interactive map which ranks major metropolitan areas in the United States based on their readiness for a breakout of Zombies.

While ridiculous in premise, the study has some real data behind it.

The CareerBuilder study is comprised of a weighted index ranking the 53 largest U.S. metropolitan areas (with more than 1 million residents) based on their occupational skills and industry characteristics. A standard, flesh-eating virus transmitted via biting or contact with infected blood is assumed. The index is scored on eight different factors in four categories: ability to defend against the virus, ability to contain the virus, ability to find a cure and ability to outlast the epidemic with an ample food supply. The study is based on data from Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. (EMSI), which analyzes labor market data from more than 90 national, state and local employment resources.

New York City and the tri-state area got dead last (pun intended), with Boston grabbing the top spot. Check out the full map for more.
