I grew up in Slovenia. There actually was war when I was 5 years old and I have several faint memories of those events. Luckily the war lasted 10 days and was mild.

The Bosnian war next door raged for several years and much of my early childhood was steeped in news reports from the war, the aftermath, etc. As late as 2001, the USA was bombing the hometown of folks I later became friends with.

I always joked that my focus on being in shape is because you never know when a zombie apocalypse might come ... but maybe those faint memories of war got embedded in my subconscious somehow.

Either way, rule 1 of zombieland is cardio. Zombies are scary because theyre the only threat with more stamina than humans.
