Offbeat: All hail Zombie Reagan! All hail Zombie Reagan!


  • Personally, if we had Zombie Reagan as president, we’d vote for him. Well, after we, ourselves, turned into a zombie, of course.

Offbeat: Want to stop a zombie attack? You have three hours. Go.

  • Only sufficiently frequent attacks, with increasing force, will result in eradication, assuming the available resources can be mustered in time.
  • The authors of an article called “When Zombies Attack!: Mathematical Modeling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection” • Discussing how to survive a zombie attack. The authors also note that the attack has a limited timeframe. In a city of 500,000, you have about three hours to prevent the level of zombies from topping the level of humans. So basically, you need to be Simon Pegg to survive. • source

Culture: Woody Harrelson thought he saw a zombie taking his photo

  • With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie.
  • Woody Harrelson • Explaining, via his publicist, why he attacked a photographer in La Guardia Airport on Wednesday. He claimed he had just finished a movie called “Zombieland” and was still in character. Remember, guys; the dude likes his pot. This explanation, by the way, is almost too entertaining for words. Next time we beat someone up for taking our photo, we’re using the same claim. • source
