I know I'm easily amused, but I found your double post about cloning funny.

Don't they eat dogs there? I can't help but think that dog cloning will have multiple purposes there, if so.

This news has confirmed something I feared all along, mankind is not prepared for a zombie attack!!!

If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively. That is the conclusion of a mathematical exercise carried out by researchers in Canada. The scientific paper is published in a book - Infectious Diseases Modelling Research Progress.

Even so, their analysis revealed that a strategy of capturing or curing the zombies would only put off the inevitable. In their scientific paper, the authors conclude that humanity's only hope is to "hit them [the undead] hard and hit them often".They added: "It's imperative that zombies are dealt with quickly or else... we are all in a great deal of trouble."

Oh god I saw that.

All I could think was "@#%! Good science is lacking research dollars and they fund THIS?"

It was supposed to be for modelling H1N1 transmission, nominally, but then these folks have to get all cute.

Some days, I really hate the fact that decent work can rarely stand on its own merit. Everything has to have 'spin'. Its ridiculous. Call shit for what it is and the rest will take care of itself.
