In more bad news for the living today, scientists have determined that humanity would almost certainly perish in the (probably still unlikely) event of a zombie outbreak.
Using maths and probability to demonstrate what us Walking Dead fans have known for years, a team in Canada have shown that an zombie-like infection -- one that quickly killed its victims and then returned them to life in order to feast on the living -- would, mathmatically speaking, spell almost certain doom for us all.
Among the issues faced by humanity would be the exponential increase in new zombies created after each human dies, and the sudden shutdown of vital services and resources.
Only massive and frequent counter-attacks upon the Zombie Menace would give humans any hope of survival says the paper, which is published this week under the title 'Infectious Diseases Modelling Research Progress'.
The University of Ottowa researchers who worked on the study assumed that the zombies were the classic, slow-moving type seen in the original George A. Romero films, and not the heretical and far-more-deadly ultra-fast zombies as seen in films like 28 Days Later. Even so their analysis revealed that any attempt to cure or capture the Shuffling Horde would only put off the inevitable. (Read More)
"It's imperitive that zombies are dealt with quickly," the paper says. "Or else... we are all in a great deal of trouble."
The study has been welcomed by disease specialists around the world for its contribution to understanding deadly outbreaks. Those championing the paper include Prof. Neil Ferguson, who is a chief advisor on swine flu for the UK government.
"My understanding of zombie biology is that if you manage to decapitate a zombie then it's dead forever. So perhaps they are being a little over-pessimistic when they conclude that zombies might take over a city in three or four days," Ferguson told the BBC.
I think that a few Scientists have been playing to much NaziZombies on the Call Of Duty World at World on the xbox _________________ I give you, the Waffle King

East London is a shit hole.
The air is chewable and the people look as if they have been.
When you get stabbed in London it's like as not that infected wounds will kill you rather that the knife whereas in Essex all knives are sterilised before taking out to the various pubs and clubs.
I could go on without offending most East enders as most of them can't read English. And that includes the indigenous population _________________ Please visit our main site
Funny you should say that but my mates girlfriend is blind.
No really she is.
I suppose the girls look at the girly mags and try to emulate the pop stars in them.
Thing is a mini skirt and a boob tube don't look to good on a size twenty with more pictures on the exposed flesh than on the walls of the Tate gallery.
One girl sitting with a load of boys was shouting out F me F me at the top of her voice.
