Will it be the Detroit Lions, or the EMU Emus Eagles? I’m not a betting man, especially when it comes to sports like football, but after yesterday’s game, I think I’d put my wager with Detroit.
And doesn’t English need at least one or two wins this year to keep his job?

Just the other day, EMU was testing out its emergency texting system (BTW, if you aren’t already a part of it, you should join it), we keep getting updates/warnings about what to do if there is a swine flu outbreak, and clearly there has been a lot more consciousness and preparedness for various safety issues on campus.
But what about zombies?
I read and heard from a variety of sources this morning that the University of Florida is prepared– just in case.
An employee in the school’s academic technology office wrote up a disaster preparedness simulation exercise, outlining what steps the university should take to identify and deal with an outbreak of “zombie behavior spectrum disorder.” The guideline recommends, among other things, exercising proper hygiene during an outbreak, dispelling myths about zombies among the student body, and developing policies and procedures for dispatching an infected co-worker.
It’s a joke, of course. If you follow the link, you can get to the documents that tech employee wrote up, and if you are someone who has had to write or read these kind of lifeless and bureaucratic sorts of documents before, you’ll probably get the humor.
This media start-up called Time (catchy name) is running one of them blogs that is part of the company’s campaign about Detroit for this year. It’s called “The Detroit Blog,” and it isn’t half-bad. I for one don’t think that the Drew Barrymore film Whip It! was filmed in Detroit (for me, Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor/Saline simply does not equal Detroit), even though it is set in Texas. But I did find the Assignment Detroit Drinking Game pretty amusing.
