Professor Robert Smith? (the question mark is part of his surname and not a typographical mistake). WTF is that all about then?
Anyone fancy a glass tower?
[i]"On his university web page, the mathematics professor at Ottawa University says the question mark distinguishes him from Robert Smith, lead singer of rock band The Cure."[/i]
As would the title of Professor... Somebody please set the zombie nation onto him.
And Robert Smith the lead singer of The Cure wears stage make-up that causes him to resemble a zombie.
Co-incidence? I think not.
Bit of a daft name but I'm glad people are doing this sort of research. Going to come in far more useful one day than trying to recreate the big bang with a large hardon collider. And a lot cheaper, probably.
zombie apocalypse!
whoot!
not sure about the "fictional creatures" bit though.
surely the whole POINT of zombies is that it stems from a form of viral infection, like rabies.
"In some respects, a zombie "plague" resembles a lethal rapidly-spreading infection."
in some resepects?
surely its not a "resemblance" at all. thats what it IS ****mook!
of all the monsters, they are probably the most realistic?
anyway, back to my first point.
Zombie apocalypse!! whoot!!
Oh look, a paper on epidemiology presented in a readable format is still too much for the thick "science" reporters at the BBC.
