Inspired by Alex Wild's post I study the wrong thing…", I decided to run my own stats on the trending efficacy of my studies/classes. It looks like humanity (or the searches we do) jumped the shark around Fall '08 (although one could argue for the scientific possibilities of a quantum-focused Zombies Studies course): Yep, zombies always win (except against plants, of course). Thank goodness Associated Content or Demand Media style optimization algorithms don't run our educational system. Yet.
