			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was on my way to return some items to CompUSA, when I noticed folks standing about Market Street with duct tape &#8220;X&#8221; symbols on them. &#8220;What could that mean?&#8221; I thought. I took a photo just in case it was a new fad.<br />

<DIV align=center style="font-size: x-small">A couple sporting duct tape</DIV><br />
</DIV></p>
<p>The Powell cable car turn around became very silent, perhaps eerily so. Little did I know that such markings meant that they were the next to be attacked by zombies!<br />

<p>It was a sight to be seen. Luckly, I had decided to not wear duct tape that day, so I was simply sniffed for my brains, but not eaten and turned into one of those blood lusting fiends. There were other humans around, mostly tourists, but there was one man who knew that the zombies were there because our <i>sins</i>. God hates zombies, after all.<br />

<p>Sensing fresh brains near by, the hord of zombies headed up Powell Street&#8230;<br />

<p>From there they crowded on to Union Square, where a band happened to be playing. From there they frenzied into a dance while consuming duct-taped victums. It was chaos, pure chaos, but luckily I survived to bring you this photographic evidence.<br />

<P>After this horrific photography of todays events, you must be wondering, <i>How can I prevent zombie attacks? What do I do in the event a zombie horde appears while I&#8217;m shopping?</i></p>
<p>First of all, don&#8217;t panic.</p>
<p>Second of all, make sure you&#8217;ve memorized the <A HREF="http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A6875715">How to Survive a Zombie Attack</A> guide.</p>
<p>Three, <A HREF="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/the-zombie-preparedness-kit-195294.php">have your preparedness kit.</A></p>
<p>And finally, watch your local news for zombie-related events.<br />
