"Science ponders 'zombie attack'"

I'm still not convinced that this is for real. It seems that researchers in Canada (presumably publicly funded ones) have concluded that an attack by zombies would "...lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively."
Professor Robert Smith? (the question mark is part of his surname and not a typographical mistake) and colleagues wrote: "We model a zombie attack using biological assumptions based on popular zombie movies. We introduce a basic model for zombie infection and illustrate the outcome with numerical solutions."
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'm more of the opinion that the question mark distinguishes him from someone who isn't a pretentious twat who makes a bloody good living spunking taxpayers money up the wall.
