Good news!

Ali Khan writes, "You may laugh now, but when it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency." I don't know why Khan doesn't appreciate that the zombie apocalypse qualifies as a real emergency, but I am glad that he's taking it seriously enough to write about it.
