Various people have been posting about what to do when the zombies attack.

You are in a mall when zombies attack. You have:
1. One weapon
2. One song blasting on the speakers
3. One famous person to fight along side you.

1. Katana. Doesn't run out of ammo and should slice up those zombies quite nicely.
2. One of the songs from the soundtrack of "The Rock". I can't remember which right now, since it seems to have disappeared from my music collection.
3. Given I'm facing undeads, somebody holy. I suppose Jesus might work well.

A bit surprising, really.

For those of you wondering why there is no editor on the list; I use emacs and it's in the 11th place (with 1903 runs). I tend to let it run for a while and open more than one file, so it doesn't get that high on the list. I also cd and ls a lot.

I have no idea how happy can be a social dysfunction, but here we go:

Your Social Dysfunction: Happy You're a happy person - you have a good amount of self-esteem, and are socially healthy. While this isn't a social dysfunction per se, you're definitely not normal. Consider yourself lucky: you walk that fine line between 'normal' and being outright narcissistic. You're rare - which is something else to be happy about.
