Thanks to Canada for leading the way

Researchers in Canada have concluded that a zombie attack would lead to the collapse of civilization unless quick and aggressive actions were taken.

In their study, the researchers from the University of Ottawa and Carleton University posed a question: If there was to be a battle between zombies and the living, who would win?

Based on mathematical models they developed, it doesn't look good for humanity.

jpsorrow: Wonder if you could get your math department to sponsor a follow-on study?

Smith? does seem the ultimate example of the uncertainty principle.

And you totally deserve to copyedit a paper on zombies. Copyright law has been done to (un)death, while zombies are fresh new ground where a firm hand needs to establish precedents!

Oh! That totally explains it. He can tell where he is, ergo he can't tell whether he's a math professor or a rock star. It's obvious once you point it out ;)

The copyright law paper was actually kind of interesting, as such things go: it's the first law-journal paper in which I've ever happened upon the terms fan fiction, The Simpsons, or Ferdinand de Saussure, and certainly the first paper of any sort in which I've seen the three occur together ...
