Easy Call
Over a game of chess, a friend asked me a rather interesting question: would I rather be in a New Haven plagued by zombies or by dragons? Well, without boring you with the details, I think that it is safe to say: dragons.
I mean come on now- think about it.

Uh, dragons dude. I mean, yeah, you've got the fire breathing and the spiked tails, but they are probably more interested in gliding around in the skies than in you.
Not to mention, they probably would keep their own populations down through their spectacular midair dragon-battles. ZOMBIES, on the other hand, are only going to increase in number over time, and they actively want to eat your brains. Clear as day to me, too.
Now, zombies v. ninjas? THAT'S gonna take some thinking about.
Totally. Also, I figured the Air Force or someone would take care of the dragons if they were a real problem. I could hideout at home and wait for it all to end. Zombies on the other hand, come right into your home and eat your brains- line of communication go down as the epidemic spreads, yada-yada. The main deciding point was that I don’t own a shotgun nor do I have lots of ammunition lying around. I also don’t have access to a shotgun with lots of ammunition.
The ninja question is tough. Lets not forget:
Ninjas are mammals
Ninjas fight all the time
The purpose of a ninja is to flip out and kill people.
Gotta think on that one.
Ninjas are fast. Ninjas are silent. Ninjas will cut off your head for ninja sport.
Zombies, on the other hand, shamble around all slow, and make a lot of groaning noise, so you know they are coming. Plus, zombies give you an excuse to go to the mall.
Gotta choose zombies on this one.
Yeah, I guess I just need to get to my car. After that if any zombies get in the way I can just run them over (like I did to your neighbor) and then drive to the mall (like we did after I ran over your neighbor).
There is no way that would work with ninjas.
I have to say that I'm VERY impressed with the well thought out answers to this question. So far the highlights are Malcolm's mention of "spectacular midair dragon-battles" and Dan's reminder that "the purpose of a ninja is to flip out and kill people". Well done gentlemen.
Obviously I agree that dragons are the best scenario, but I'd take ninjas over zombies. At least ninjas can be reasoned with and aren't interested in getting you to join up with them. Zombies may be the world's biggest jerks.
