Thanks to Fark I have discovered one of the University of Georgia’s most valuable course offerings, EVER.

As we all know that dreaded All Hallow’s Eve is approaching. That night when the restless dead walk the earth and come to your front porch, blank-eyed avarice behind latex masks, wearing non-flammable flimsy costumes bought at CVS, Kroger bags thrust out to drain you of your vital stores of candy-corns and bite-size 3 Musketeers.

Well, leave it to the Georgia University System to fund what surely must be the first course of it’s kind: Max Brooks’ Anti-Zombie Seminar! The link will take you to redandblack.com’s article detailing this major event in higher education.

I’m thinking this may open up a brave new world in academia. Finally the plague of the undead we’ve all been aware of for too long will no longer be able to eat our brains and pop up unbidden each time we go to the basement to check on the hot-water heater.

Gotta admire progress.
