That's Winnie the Pooh all right, looking pretty badass. He's got a rumbly in his tumbly I bet.

I dunno... normally I'd bet on Hobbes but that Pooh is freakin GIGANTIC. He gets one good headshot in with one of those frying pans and Hobbes is done for.

Actually, no, that article points to the exact opposite. The world's military is much more capable of killing zombies than that mathematician supposed. Got a city full of them? Nuke it. A few thousand? Machine guns. Modern weaponry would annihilate the shambling creatures in hours. The only way the zombies would win is if we tried to cure them (creating more humans for zombification) or let them survive in some way. Swift, devastating violence would be required to save the human race, and as a species we are quite capable of exacting that. FPS gamers rejoice, basically.

By any chance, have you happened to have read 'World War Z'?

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #416 on:** 18 Aug 2009, 15:29 »

Nope, however I have seen references to that book in relation to the story: http://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.co.uk/2009/08/18/zombie_plague_paper/

Coward · « **Reply #417 on:** 18 Aug 2009, 15:47 »

There's an interesting chapter in the book where a veteran of World War Z reflects about the US military's first large-scale battle with an undead horde. Despite automatic weapons, tanks, air support, and last-ditch-thermobaric-weapons-of-doom they are overrun by the living dead. The outcome is due to a combination of insufficient understanding of the undead, poor command and control, and the incorrect adaptation of doctrine and weapons to effectively combat the zombies. Whilst the work is, of course, fictional, the defeat of a modern military force by a poorly understood and underrated unconventional enemy is one that has a ring of truth about it, not to mention a number of historical parallels.

The above is, obviously, perhaps a touch too serious given we're referring to an entirely made-up scenario. But, long story short, do pick up a copy of 'World War Z' if you can because it's actually a well thought-out, well executed, hoofing read.

It's been years since I read the book so I'm not sure. The chapter I was refering to is the battle for Yonkers early in the book. The chapter is told by a soldier who also gives further accounts of the later stages of the war where the tide begins to turn.

But yeah, an awesome book that will also hopefully make an awesome film.

Jimor · « **Reply #436 on:** 19 Aug 2009, 04:56 »

I haven't read it all yet, but man, World War Z was a dangerous book to have to reshelve back during my bookstore days. Open to any random page while walking back to the shelves and start reading, and suddenly it's 15 minutes later and everybody is wondering where the hell you've been while the line is halfway through the store and the phones are ringing off the hook.

I really need to just get it.

allison · « **Reply #437 on:** 19 Aug 2009, 05:55 »

I am reading it right now and it is fantastic. I'd hope a decent studio picked it up if it were adapted for screen.
