Probably the most amusing part is the forum. Some selected quotes:

"I love how the girl is able to just casually carry on the conversation 
even though a zombie has just walked into the room."

" 'Ideas are tested by experiment', that is the CORE of science!' I'm 
sorry, I beg to differ. Interpretting data to select between possible 
hypothesies is the core of science. It doesn't matter where the data 
comes from."

"The Real WTF is that last panel - you would NEVER find string theorists 
in a physics LAB!"

"It's not called string theory any more. They added some extra 
dimensions, and now it's called M theory. So I guess string theorists do 
have branes!"

"Zombie Feynman?! I truly hope he becomes a recurring character!"

"Myth Busters is great - but how many of those myths have never been 
heard of until you watch the show?"

"I'd take Myth Busters a lot more seriously if the presenters were 
engineers rather than movie special effects experts..."

I think Sherry Freakin' Shaw just freaked... ;-)

Perhaps Warp knew you didn't?
