How to Survive the Zombie Menance

Tip of the hat to Zarq...

Having watched Shaun of the Dead and Snyder's version of Dawn of the Dead last night, this was great to see in the morning.

So, you are very smart, need to publish something, and a little cheeky...what do you do?

Well, you use mathematical models to determine how humanity would survive the zombie menace.

Funnily enough, if the menace gets out of hand quickly, we (humanity) are kind of fraked. 

"Hit them hard and fast" is the solution...

Now, I have watched quite a few zombie films, and read quite a few zombie novels, however, the only thing that is consistent throughout these works is that they are never hit hard and fast...there is always a little bit of dithering by the powers that be that lead to needless deaths.

Therefore, if there is a zombie outbreak, we are kind of...well...dead.

It would be the Apocalypse.
