Re: Scientists study zombie attack scenarios
Most interesting study of how to control a zombie outbreak, indeed.

Re: Scientists study zombie attack scenarios
Talking of zombies the library phoned today. The book I ordered is in. Pride and Prejudice With Zombies.
The Sequel is Sense and Sensibility with Sea Monsters and Other Things.
Can't wait.

What can I say, they spend their time as wisely as everyone I guess.

Re: Scientists study zombie attack scenarios
Absolutely!
I have a friend who once ran a scenario that tested whether our gravity-measuring satellite could observe the mass redistribution in Europe in August. His theory was that everyone from northern Europe goes on vacation to the Mediterranean during that time period -- taking their mass with them! So he ran the calculations.
Alas, it appears that the mass redistribution that would occur if most north Europeans visited the coast during the month is still less than our satellite errors. ;(

Re: Scientists study zombie attack scenarios
Plus your friend's theory was rather ... inclusive. In fact, this summer, many north Europeans stay in their country, thus sadly not redistributing their masses in great numbers to the south.
Still, it's a funny idea. Maybe you can measure the yearly travels of whales? Umm. Probably not, as they are in water.

Re: Scientists study zombie attack scenarios
I wonder when the whale population rises if the water level rises as well?

Well, you'd have to take into account the loading factors (the changes in gravity on the ocean due to the motion of people). That's waaaay too much work for me!

Re: Scientists study zombie attack scenarios
Hmmm, an interesting question. My first guess would be that it would increase sea levels, due to increased storage of carbon holding materials as well as that whale fluids on average should be less dense then sea water. Thus causing the volume that all water in the ocean is filling to get larger, atleast on a first glance that is what I would say....
