Finally, some good research on zombies

I’ll keep this short and sweet. Hilarious research to come out of the University of Ottawa and Carleton University:

I love when science has a sense of humour.

In this case, the researcher’s modeled a zombie attack, basing their assumptions on popular movies.

Their conclusion?

“We show that only quick, aggressive attacks can stave off the doomsday scenario: the collapse of society as zombies overtake us all.”

In other words, if the human race is going to survive a zombie attack we’ve got to get “extremely aggressive.”

I personally feel much more prepared in the event of a future breakout of zombification.
