You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!
In their study, the researchers from the University of Ottawa and Carleton University (also in Ottawa) posed a question: If there was to be a battle between zombies and the living, who would win?
really we have nothing better to study.....screw cancer we gotta fix the zombie plague

Hey, the US Government funded a paper that paralleled preparation for terrorism with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so why not have a study that compares infectious diseases with zombies?

I got one of my degrees from Carleton U. and now I work for Health Canada at the Laboratory Center for Disease Control in Tunney's Pasture. It was actually a secret dream of mine to try to take this kind of ridiculous notion and pass it off as hard research. I guess someone with a better pitch-line finally succeeded. Actually I'm pretty sure I know who.
Reading this article, it doesn't say that humanity is doomed in a Zombie outbreak scenerio. It blatantly spells out the victory condition. Hit them early, hit them hard and keep hitting them. It may be the only victory condition that they found, but it does show that victory would be possible if the correct actions were taken.
That's not the same as "We're all doomed!" or "We're all going to die!" although those make eye catching headlines.
At best, this means "We're all very likely doomed!" or "Most of us are likely to die!".
But as long as there is a chance then there is hope and a reason to fight.
I was raised to beleive if you can't say something nice about a person, say nothing at all. This has led to living a very quiet life.
Someone who tells you what to think is trying to control you. Someone who teaches you how to think is trying to free you.
Pffffffft... the rest of you are doomed. Pittsburgh is perfectly safe, were well versed in zombies. ;>
I am disillusioned enough to know that no man's opinion on any subject is worth a damn unless backed up with enough genuine information to make him really know what he's talking about.
