It's early enough in the morning, I'm betting very few of you are too drunk to understand this, unless you're still recovering from last night.

The survival probability of immobile targets annihilated by a population of random walkers on inhomogeneous discrete structures, such as disordered solids, glasses, fractals, polymer networks, and gels, is analytically investigated. It is shown that, while it cannot in general be related to the number of distinct visited points as in the case of homogeneous lattices, in the case of bounded coordination numbers its asymptotic behavior at large times can still be expressed in terms of the spectral dimension and its exact analytical expression is given. The results show that the asymptotic survival probability is site-independent of recurrent structures (2), while on transient structures (>2) it can strongly depend on the target position, and such dependence is explicitly calculated.

Is this game too violent for a 7 year old?

They do have zombie clowns!

Below the fold to protect alexthechick's delicate eyes.

Update: You may not like clowns, but how do you feel about Teletubbies?  Unfortunately, only for PC.

For the upcoming zombie apocalypse, of course.  No, alex, there are no clowns there.  At least not on that page.  I'm thinking that clown pictures might make a good training aid, though.

Fearnet has a Zombieland photo gallery up.  It's full of awesome.

Just in case you were one of the ten people who saw Pathogen, the documentary about its making is screening in Ottawa, Overland Park, and New York City this weekend.

What is it about visionary filmmakers named George who become utter douches in their later years?

Good to see a Zombie Disposal Squad is being assembled, especially in a large metropolitan area, as outbreaks can spiral out of control very quickly in a city.

I am so hoping there are scary clown zombies in this campaign...

The Moveon.org zombie apparently then left. At a walk. And none of his Moveon.org colleagues stopped him. And then they themselves later walked through the crime scene.
