Idaho Would Survive Zombie Attack

In this July 2013 AP file photo, a zombie character in an exhibit inspired by the television series "The Walking Dead" screams at onlookers during the Preview Night event on Day 1 of the 2013 Comic-Con International Convention in San Diego, Calif.

If you're as tired as I am re: lists that show Idaho at the bottom or near the bottom of important categories, like education, minimum wages, etc., I have good news for you. Idaho ranks No. 4 in an increasingly important category -- the states that are most likely to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. While the entire south and the three West Coast states would be nothing but munchies for Zombies, Idaho has a lot of things going for it should the Zombies attack: survivability skills, martial arts skills, paintball enthusiasts, people with guns, triathletes, etc. You can see how Idaho stacks up with other states here.

Question: Doesn't this make you a teeny bit prouder of your home state?
