Reminds me of the most retarded board game ever - The Worst Case Scenario Survival GamePlayed it once than it tragically caught fired. Talk about a worst case scenario.<a class="user" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005EB9M/qid=1133397097/sr=8-6/ref=pd_bbs_6/002-6892227-6722438?v=glance&s=toys&n=507846">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005EB9M/qid=1133397097/sr=8-6/ref=pd_bbs_6/002-6892227-6722438?v=glance&s=toys&n=507846</a>

Books are way better. They deal with much more subjects (travel, work, etc.)<a class="user" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/002-8046881-2506426?field-keywords=Worst+Case+Scenario&mode=blended&tag=mozilla-20&sourceid=Mozilla-search">http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/002-8046881-2506426?field-keywords=Worst+Case+Scenario&mode=blended&tag=mozilla-20&sourceid=Mozilla-search</a>

I can't seem to find surviving Zombie or C.H.U.D's.Any clue?

First. When did Popular Mechanics get into all this stuff. I thought it was "popular mechanics" - not "how to mechanics."Secondly. I've been in Haiti during a riot, and being that me and the guy with me were probably the only two guys that were white in a 20 mile radius, believe me, you use the vehicle you're in as a weapon as needed. Thankfully we had a local - and dark skinned - Haitian with us that was driving and we kept low the whole time. So, in that case, they were spot on.

They should include a "How to properly interpret a citation" article.For some reason I think that would be much more popular.

The only one missing is: "How to survive & get a raise when your boss finds out you're surfing digg at work"

It is a cute read to get someone as a gag gift, not a qualified field guide. I was pretty disappointed with my copy and I think I ended up giving it away because it looked so funny on my bookshelf - so close to real books.
