Perhaps the [ORBITAL GOAT CANNON](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=41020&highlight=goat+cannon+orbit) would be effective? 😃

> What about holing up in a prison? The walls and doors should be strong enough to keep out the dead. The only question is how easy it would be to retrofit the security and controls to keep the baddies _out_ instead of in.

Naw… prison isn’t a good idea either. You see, in the Zombie world the more secure an area is the more certain you will be trapped and die. Unless you are all by yourself then you have a chance. Just don’t come into contact with any other living people.
