The governments have zombie contingency plans!  That's cool in and of itself. Clap  Of course, if L4D is anything to go by, it's not going to do much good...  *Requests book from library*

I've seen some Canadian government contingency documents before (this was a few years ago and they're probably declassified, therefore secret agents shouldn't kill the kitty, please?) Anyways, there's a plan for nearly anything. One that provided a defence against the US invasion strategy "War Plan Red", another detailed how to react if a flying saucer crashes into a building containing people with subsections on radiation and alien germs, a third was about Catholic-style demon invasion. They're really meant to make military commanders think outside the box and to provide adaptable templates for future situations.

But if what the plans are meant to stop really happens, then we're already covered! Win/win!

Yeah, um, do you have a link that goes to a site that isn't butt-ugly? I don't want to start a web-design flame war, but something at least left aligned!

Aesthetically-unpleasing websites have a lower chance of being spammed, hacked or infected with viruses. This is because a website that looks good attracts more people and becomes mainstream, which means that affecting it will affect more people by proxy. In addition, archive sites and preservation efforts save ugly sites with high traffic first, as they are considered underground/retro-popular sites. Changing the site's source code also opens flaws, so no upgrades.

This article any better?
