Where are the best places to hide from a zombie attack? We know from watching TV that the CDC in Atlanta is no help; neither is a bucolic farm. But there are some really fortified landmarks that could shelter you from the undead. Fort Knox is the closest sanctuary to me, but for aesthetic interest, I'd prefer Fort Boyard off the west coast of France.
Disregarding the fact that you would go to the closest shelter in the event of a zombie attack, which of these refuges would you like best? Link
Now completely uninhabited, this island fortress would make the perfect refuge from a Zombie attack, as it is surrounded by a particularly large moat: the Atlantic Ocean. Designed to repel the British, this fortress comes equipped with canon mounts and was once used as a prison, meaning it is pretty secure. So, if you find yourself stuck on a ship during the Zombie attack, why not head to Fort Boyard for a vacation from the undead.

Unless there are zombie-contestants, in which case you may have to joust with them in order to retrieve the key to the tiger-filled treasure room before the clepsydra runs out.

If I could introduce my own punctuation mark, it would be this: ..O.. the pregnant pause.
I like the convention of stars for *emphasis* myself. It's pretty common online and used as a shortcut for boldface type some places.
Were I to invent a single punctuation mark to infer such a query, perhaps an upside-down "?" would work. (Yes, I know that's a common punctuation mark in several languages, but I usually speak/write in English so it's up for grabs as far as I'm concerned...)
Why would anybody argue with that logic¿
Much like the ellipsis (or "...") is used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought, or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence, "+++" can be used to show PWNERSHIP!
As for what punctuation mark I would make, I have two:
A backward S with a bold dot within the upper curve. It would be used for sarcastic comments.
Essentially a question mark with the vertical portion replaced with a small circle. This is a mark I learned from a friend that I took to, it denotes that the question or statement needs to be further researched to verify if it is right or not. It is not particularly handy in general use, but in note taking, it can be a handy way to say, "I need to get more data on this later."
I would retain my 'day job' so as to stave off 'starvation.'
And "!?" as an early form of "WTF"
