This is Dani Smith

 

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known around the web as Eglentyne. I am a writer in Texas. I like my beer and my chocolate bitter and my pens pointy.

This blog is one of my hobbies. I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate. I have too many hobbies and don’t sleep enough. Around here I talk about whatever is on my mind, mostly reading and writing, but if you hang out long enough, some knitting is bound to show up.

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas. If you’re not respecting intellectual property, then you’re stealing. Don’t be a stealer. Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but don’t be a thief.

    Zombie Flow

    Posted on DateWednesday, December 12, 2012 at 10:58AM

    If there are ten zombies in the swimming pool, and zombies fall into the pool at a rate of four per minute, and zombies claw their way out of the pool over the rotten and disintegrating bodies of their fellow zombies at a rate of one per minute, how long will it take to fill the pool with zombies?

    The answer, as in almost all things, is it depends. ;-)

    Sure, sure. Depends on the volume of the pool, the decaying volume of the zombies, the price of a 3D movie ticket versus a 2D movie ticket, and whether it's season 1/2 Carl or season 3 Carl counting the zombies.
