Zombie week on Cleverpork Central has Come to an end. We thank you all for your readership over these days. We hope that you all have enjoyed the experience as much as we have. Some of us might not have survived the ordeal (I haven't heard from Pat in days) but we will do anything to keep you all entertained.
Keep your eyes open in the future for more themed weeks. While zombies are very commonly used these days to boost popularity, our researchers are continually exploring new possibilities in hype generation. Until then, however, it is time to put the theme scheme back into it's storage bin.
Now we're off to party like it's the last party ever. Because it is, at least for most of us. Go hone your skills and live well!

Zombie Mathematics
Earlier this year a group of mathematician from Canada published a paper in the journal "Infectious Disease Modelling Research Progress" examining the ability to model a zombie apocalypse using current infectious disease models (with a few modifications). What they determined was that if zombies were to exist (without a cure or massive military action, which they also looked at) then the only outcome was everyone becoming a zombie. To use more technical terminology, the only stable equilibrium was all zombie. In their analysis they found this to be true with a virus (or whatever) that acted quickly, slowly and if they included quarantine of the infected/zombies as well. The only situations where it might be possible (according to their study) to survive a zombie apocalypse was if 1) there was a cure developed (although the world would be mostly zombies) or 2) if you had a group of survivors and were able to use the military to attempt to kill off every zombie (which I would have liked the authors to bulk up a little more).

Study Reveals Pittsburgh Unprepared For Full-Scale Zombie Attack

In an October study done by the Pittsburgh mayor, and only reported by a single news source, it was determined that the city fo Pittsburgh is not ready to fight the coming waves of the zombie horde. Truth is, all of their preparedness policies were made before current zombie research was made. The article states, "The city's emergency safe houses, established by a city ordinance in the early '70s, lack even the most basic fortifications for zombie invasion." and that is just one example.

What makes any movie better? Zombies. Or Not To Be, the zombie adaption of Hamlet is amazing. I've heard rumors that Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies really adds something to a classic story. So what movies can use some more undead content? Follow the link to learn more. Highlights include Home Alone and Harry Potter. but ultimately you need to read the original post to fully understand.

There are a few things that the writers here at Cleverpork Central love. One is zombies. One is dancing. One clever person combined the two producing Zombies Can't Dance claiming to be a rock musical/opera about zombies. I am listening through it and it is awesome. The lyrics really pull the heart strings. Every song has an accompanying piece of artwork to go with it. The plot is after the break.
