In the event of an attack by zombies...

..."an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively". That is the conclusion of a mathematical exercise carried out by researchers in Canada..

Slow news day, anyone?

I also think that Professor Robert Smith? is my new favourite person, purely because his name is Professor Robert Smith?.

In the same way that some African tribes use the ! to indicate a click when they write their language down, I'm imagining that Professor Smith?'s name is pronounced with a rising inflection at the end, much as if an Australian might pronounce it.

or that you can't say his name properly without the raiseing inflection AND raising an eyebrow

"My understanding of zombie biology is that if you manage to decapitate a zombie then it's dead forever. So perhaps they are being a little over-pessimistic when they conclude that zombies might take over a city in three or four days,"

I thought to kill a zombie you had to destroy the brain not just decapitate.

although if you could collect undead zombie heads and arranged them correctly you could construct a working zombiphone and play tunes... the ultimate irony would be to play 'Thriller' on a fully functioning zombiphone. They probably have mystical zombie controlling powers or something...even if they didn't it would a laugh

God bless silly season. The papers are wafer-thin at the moment.
