They totally missed the boat on that one.

Where you really want to be is in the Greek monistary St. Cyril's. Featured in the Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only", it was perched on top of a rock with sheer vertical cliffs on all sides, accessible only by a system of hand pulled ropes.

You would think the zombie house would be number 1. I mean it's the only one that was built for a "zombie apocalypses"

Good thread!

awesome...Ive never heard of any of those places besides fort knox. Thats awesome.

You forgot to mention Cheyenne Mountain has a Stargate! So who'd want to stay on a zombie infested world anyway?

Hell ya and Teal'C is a badass, take care of enitre horde by his self

I vote for the LHC tunnel in Geneva. If you don't know what that is..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider

If they get in just turn it on and make a black hole or some other absolutely unnatural thing. lol

Funny ass shit.

This one had me rolling :rotflmao:
Disadvantages:
-Samurai Zombies.

The transforming house is bad ass!

Haha awesome thread :cheers:

aronz28 was right...lol

You guys will think I'm crazy, but Fort Knox doesn't have the largest stockpile of American gold. There is actually a safe with a majority of our countries gold somewhere in Wall Street. But hey, if zombies attack, for knox wouldn't be so bad.

so many sweet sniping spots in this one...

i feel sorry for the por suckers that had to move in the furniture or everything else into that house.:bomb:

They're a bunch of monks. Probably didn't have much furniture or other worldly possessions. Besides, what else do they have to do all day??? Read and Pray???

:lol: Humor lives!

i feel sorry for the por suckers that had to move in the furniture or everything else into that house.:bomb:I don't think the furniture would've been my concern. By then, you're either extremely strong, or dead... After all, they needed someone to move the roof trusses or rafters and of course, to haul up thousands of pounds worth of "Indian tile" for the roof!

Still, I'm glad they troubled themselves. Ya never know when the zombies will arise. :jest:

They train these guys! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfkHkdu5IEI :)

Fort Knox is trusted to house our gold.

Haha, that's a funny joke.

Those atlas f sites are plentiful across the US and some of them are actually extremely affordable. Theres one here in Oklahoma that has 9 acres and a 40,000 sq ft communications bunker. Its for sale for like $375,000. That usually wouldnt buy you 9 acres undeveloped here.

good thread! Id have to go with The Transforming Zombie-Proof House.

^^Love that movie!
