Robert Smith?

The ? is not a misprint, that's his name. And he has published a scientific paper which mathematically models the outcome were the world to be infested with zombies.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8206280.stm

So he's not just another publicity seeking scientist who pimps up their data to get publicity, is he? I have no doubt the BBC science correspondent would have quoted the original maths paper had it not contained a zombie analogy.

How many people who, when they see his name, have even heard of the Cure let alone would confuse him with THAT Robert Smith? Pillock?

"On his university web page, the mathematics professor at Ottawa University says the question mark distinguishes him from Robert Smith, lead singer of rock band The Cure."

what a complete c0ck....

I was at school with a fella called Robert Smith - incredibly, I never managed to confuse him with the lead singer of The Cure.....

The principal of Kingston Poly (as was) was called Robert Smith - I applied to go there in 1984.


As for zombies - I don;t reckon the slow ones are half as dangerous as people think - quick ones though - we'd have no chance.

I dunno the slow ones are slow but they just keep coming and wear you down eventually - it's not all about speed y'know. A lot of talk about zombies recently, am I missing something?

I wonder of he's fat, depressed and back-combs his hair?

(PS. There's nothing wrong with any of the above, I love Fat Bob)

He came onto the bridge of my brother's ferry a couple of years ago. Apparently he was very shy.

Still in his standard uniform though (Robert Smith that is, and my brother I suppose)
