Canadian University Students Study Theoretical Zombie Outbreak
Some mathematics students from Ottawa wrote a paper on the possibility of surviving a zombie outbreak.
Their solution? Strike hard. Strike fast.
Article on their work: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/08/zombies/
Their Paper: http://www.mathstat.uottawa. ca/~rsmith/Zombies.pdf
It's a shame I'm too terrible at math to understand most of it 
mmmmm brains

Are we dealing with the old, slowly walking zombies here or the more modern, fast-running Crimson-Head-esque zombies?
:O

I think they used modern zombies, not the zombies that come out when hell is full.

That reminds me of when they were filming some sort of zombie film downtown Hamilton.
There was some interesting looking people walking around. o.o

Did you see cameras? If not, it might have just been downtown Hamilton on a regular day.
I saw a guy in a gas mask in Jackson Square for some reason. Not like one of those SARS masks either; it was a full, face-covering gas mask.
We're such a weird city.

I can't believe someone did this and actually followed through with the math.

Umm... I'm pretty sure those were just normal Nazis. If you want to see a movie about Nazi zombies though, see the movie Dead Snow :p.
