你知道多少僵尸?

This post is from Marginal Revolution blog, see: good sentence
"We originally wrote this article in Word, but then we converted it to Latex to make it look more like science."

The link is here. It is the best analysis of zombification I have seen to date. For the pointer I thank John Chilton.

Title: “How many zombies do you know?" Using indirect survey methods to measure alien attacks and outbreaks of the undead

Abstract
The zombie menace has so far been studied only qualitatively or through the use of mathematical models without empirical content. We propose to use a new tool in survey research to allow zombies to be studied indirectly without risk to the interviewers.

注:看到此文的题目,关于僵尸的研究,刹那间想起那个著名的游戏“植物 大战僵尸”……最有意思的是作者自己在脚注中所写的“Department of Statistics, Columbia University, New York. Please do not tell my employer that I spent any time doing this.”

我看过的最搞笑的拒信

今天看到了一封超级搞笑的拒信,让我实在是不得不佩服这个撰写信的人。摘取如下:

We recognize that we make many mistakes in this process, rejecting many people who will turn out to be fine economists. We can only hope that the mistakes we make will be corrected in the end by market competition.

p.s. 这个不是给我的……
