      Stupid thought along the lines of the copper door knobs....

      How come there aren't any bronze or copper toilet seats if they are this effective at killing germs...

      You could easily design a heating system for them...

      Maybe I should start a business / patient...

      Just don't make them from cooper... since it's one of the most stolen items (wire, plumbing) in the area...

          Maybe gold, they're so valuable nobody would steal them.

          I'm just following the same logic as "the password is so easy nobody could guess it."

            @travisdh1 Aluminum doesn't have the same germ killing capabilities does it?

            You'd have to use copper or bronze for the benefit of natural germ fighting.

              It's copper and silver that kill the bacteria. Other metals might actually encourage it.

                Iron certainly does encourage it, especially as it oxidises. Don't forget to get your tetanus shot.

                  I don't think copper / silver would require you to need a tetanus shot would it? It doesn't rust, promotes the death of germs etc.

                  I get one regularly to ensure I have no issues, but still.

                      I'm wearing (work issued) shirt full of silver threads. Highly highly recommend.

                          Are zombies in any way like vampires? You can kill a vampire with a silver stake or bullet, so can one ward off zombies with a silver-threaded shirt? Might make them even more worth it at $70 per...

                                Since we started this topic, I have now actually seen the first season of this show! And yeah, compared to the people on it, many IT people would actually do better. Those people are idiots.

                                    Compared to people in the show, basically anyone could do better, they're classic Romero zombies, as long as you can move faster than them, you're safe. Having said that, in a real zombie apocalypse, I stand by my original assessment of IT people.

                                      Oh I agree, the IT people would be the second group dead. The first group dead would be Hollywood screenwriters who are apparently already on the cusp of being zombies already.
