How That 'Extra .9%' Could Ward Off a Zombie Apocalypse
netbuzz writes "The questioner on Quora asks: 'When is the difference between 99% accuracy and 99.9% accuracy very important?'

This zombie fad is getting worn out. Just stop it, stop referencing it, stop producing zombie-related media, just STOP.
Alternatively, you could stop trying to be the arbiter of what is good and worthy and just indulge in the media you do enjoy.

It's probably of deep significance for cultural anthropologists where this zombie meme came from, but I'm actually sick&tired of the whole thing. Zombies == instant unfunny guarantee.
What's worrying is not so much that there's a stupid meme, but that people can even begin to try to rationalise it and behave as though it could actually happen.
Personally, I just think it's feeding the insane "survivalist" mentality that is spreading like a virus through the US. Oh, wait...
