As a graduate student and researcher I’ve come across loads of nonsense research papers that are worth less than the paper they were printed on. You’d be surprised how much of our tax money the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) wastes on utter and absolute rubbish.
The paper I’m about to present is actually not as bad as some other papers I’ve come across since it’s clear, well written and has a little bit of humour behind it I assume/hope.
A few scientists from the Department of Mathematics and Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University published a paper entitled “When Zombies Attack!: Mathematical Modelling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection“. They conclude that:
An outbreak of zombies infecting humans is likely to be disastrous, unless extremely aggressive tactics are employed against the undead. While aggressive quarantine may eradicate the infection, this is unlikely to happen in practice. A cure would only result in some humans surviving the outbreak, although they will still coexist with zombies. Only sufficiently frequent attacks, with increasing force, will result in eradication, assuming the available resources can be mustered in time.
Congratulations on using mathematical models to deduce what everyone already knows about a Sci-Fi creature! I’m guessing you guys have never watched a hollywood Zombie movie before?

Hmmm… why am I so angry?… oh right, it’s the boredom of writing my equally useful thesis that’s making me feel like a Zombie 😛

If you’re new to SmartCanucks.ca I thought I’d let you know about the wonderful and caring community we have on here. I have come across some very generous and kind people who help those less fortunate than ourselves. Here’s what our marvelous member eriluo did in her own words:
For those new to the board, I put together shelter packs full of toiletries for a local 10 bed women’s shelter, by buying products using coupons when everything is relatively inexpensive 
Thanks to a lot of donations of coupons and products, from wonderful SC’rs on the board, I have been able to donate over $2500 or more worth of stuff to the shelter since last September. This has helped both the women and the shelter’s budget at the same time!
Well, thanks again to all the wonderful, generous coupon Random Acts of Kindness (RAOKs) I have received since then, it didn’t take me long to rebuild my stash and get all my stuff together for the latest shelter offering.
So, in celebration of our native land and being inspired by Giant Tiger’s “Proud To Be Canadian” bags, I have assembled 12 shelter stash gift bags to be delivered later this morning to the shelter in honour of Canada Day!
Here is what I put together this time around:
12 assorted Shave Gels
12 Bic Bella Razor pkgs
12 Dove Nutrium Body Washes
12 assorted 2-in-1 Shampoo/Conditioners
12 pkgs. assorted Stayfree Maxi Pads
12 assorted Deodorants
12 Crest toothpastes
12 Colgate toothbrushes
12 assorted Face Masks
12 assorted Body Lotions
12 “Proud To Be Canadian” Shopping Bags from GT
12 assorted Teas
12 assorted Chocolate Bars
12 pkgs. Halls
How the bag looks like fully assembled!
How the bag looks like from the inside!
How all 12 bags look like grouped together!
Last but not least, a bag that echo my sentiments on how I feel today = Proud to be a Canadian!
Thanks again to everyone who has supported me along the way, through coupons, products and morale support! You all exemplify what it is to be a Canadian too, so Happy Canada Day Everyone!
***************************************
Update: Bags have been delivered!
I brought them to the shelter this morning and the shelter staff member who greeted me, I know, and she said that the bags are so appreciated by the residents and that they are so grateful for the donation! Hearing that made my day, but that wasn’t all…
She gave me the following card:
Tara F. posted on SmartCanucks forum telling us about her terrible experience with Pizza Hut. Having had an almost identical experience I’m posting this on here in hopes that Pizza Hut Canada will actually work on improving their pizza and customer service. Here’s what Tara F. had to say:
Okay I ordered 1 Lrg Stuffed Crust Meat Lovers Pizza and 1 Lrg Stuffed Crust Hawaiian Pizza from Pizza Hut tonight and it was DISGUSTING. The crust on both was VERY thin and soggy, so much in fact that the toppings slid right off and you could “wave” the crust. The total of my bill came to just shy of $50 for 2 pizzas and now I won’t eat them because they are NASTY. I called to complain and they will NOT refund my money because as they say, “they don’t do that with food” but they said they would give me a credit that I would have to use up within 3 months. They told me that this is now how their pizzas are made and that next time just make sure not to order it.
Well I had to take a video of the crap they delivered because it really was that nasty. Check it out below and tell me, have you ever received pizza from Pizza Hut like this?
