"We should have a zombie alert meter on the homepage to determine probability based on current events.

Any input? Anyone want to do it?"

""Mr. President, we need your authorization to upgrade from zombie alert topaz to zombie alert light beige""

"In response to the "You won't believe what I saw" thread, there was plenty or reason to doubt that. The spelling was terrible, and no proof or description was offered.

Also, here are my zombie threat levels:
1. Rumors of zombies.
2. Zombies in the world.
3. Zombies in my country.
4.Zombies in my state.
5. Zombies on my porch."

"Well yes, but it just brought it up in my mind. Too specific for the levels.

Mr. President - there are zombies on the porch. We must upgrade to code piss-our-pants yellow."

"I would just do Low, Elevated, Severe, and Confirmed levels."

"This is better, but what criteria determine which level we are at?"

"on the homepage a person could click on a level of the meter if they see or hear something, the meter would rise a little with each click. like 3,000 clicks would bring it up on level. even if someone sits there and clicks on it all day, they might bring it up one level thats it."

"I know. I was mainly kidding with this. Obviously, it wouldn't be a good system.
Why not use the terrorist threat levels? Blue, green, yellow, orange, and red? Blue is everything's hunky-dory, not even a rumor. Red is that there are large numbers of zombies all over the planet."
