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?

I am really glad someone did this research. Just imagine if we had not been warned!

Another reason why I'm glad that the beloved collects swords!

I would so have loved to be the copy editor for that paper. Clearly STM copy editors are having all the fun, while I'm stuck reading about the copyright law and the Nuremberg Justice Case ::pouts::

(Gotta say, though, if I were Robert Smith? I'd have called myself Psmith or Smith! or something. "Smith?" makes him sound as though he's not really sure whether he's a maths professor or a member of The Cure, and you'd think he'd be able to tell.)

A Zombie President would be hard to get out of office...

If you do the study, can you factor Undead Slayers into the equations? Of course, if you have zombies enough and time, you can overwhelm any Slayer. After all, zombies can afford wait it out. What're they going to do? Die of old age?
