Is it too much to ask that FPP submitters read the site?

The funny thing is that the previously discussed thread is the source of the BBC report mentioned in the second link, which now escalates the study summary to proclaim 'scientists and mathematicians have determined that an attack from zombies would "lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively."'

This feels a bit like the translation party: the story builds on itself, as people re-report things and the details blossom into a greater fiction.

The best way to protect yourselves from zombies is to remove the head or destroy the brain, I repeat, removing the head or destroying the brain, I repeat, removing the head or destroying the brain, I repeat, removing the head or destroying the brain, I repeat, removing the head or destroying the brain, I repeat, removing the head or destroying the brain.

Okay: this is the fourth entirely unrelated reference to the Zombie Apocalypse I've heard this week.

Something weird is going on.

That is some good mathematical modeling.

In addition , because this needs reposting, here's the Plants vs. Zombies music video.

See, it keeps being reposted to demonstrate how zombism spreads. You think you've got it all, and then - whoops! someone else is infected, and there goes the neighborhood.
