Comments on: Vampires Are Mathematically Impossible http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/2574 Feel Smart Again Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:46:21 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Eckasha http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/2574/comment-page-2#comment-152067 Eckasha Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:44:24 +0000 http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/2574#comment-152067 Well..... Just because one doesn't believe in Vampires, doesn't mean they don't exist. What we believe is our truth, even if that belief neglects what is real. Human history is very twisted. Undead can be made up of finite light units whose atoms don't vibrate. Vampires ghouls and goblins are kindergarden in comparisson to the multitude of various other REAL horrors that have been, will be, and are cohabitating with us in/on this mother Earth. We are birthed from the infinite light that spans the sands of time. Darkness does come through our fine star and casts its blackening light as in a Shadow Dance. Clarity leads our direction and unconditional love guides our thoughts to bring in the long forgotten birthright to embody our eternal divine expression(s) once again. Well...... gotta go. My buddies Lestat, Numono, Count and Vad are coming over for dinner.......... Well….. Just because one doesn’t believe in Vampires, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

You never see breaking news man murdered in sleep bite marks on neck possibly an animal or vampire. not saying there is no prove their not there or they never were her they may have been no prove saying otherwise aliens may have visited the Greek gods could have been real and heck the tooth faerie could be real too. well if he would have taken a better look at the statistics of human population, if and im not saying this happens if a vampire always makes a new one at the rate of human dieing and living the population would still play very steady. that fact though vampires “don’t HAVE to turn another person” it would still be illogical and wrong. now many “believe” they are real and sadly and very strangely many believe they are one you’ll just have to know vampires are NOT real unless the government and the media are hiding “vampire attacks” from the public.

And I thought the arguments over how many angels could dance on the head of a pin were inane! Please, kiddies, you have prefrontal lobes; start using them. The Middle Ages are over.

Since vampires (if they indeed exist) obviously haven't changed the entire world into their kind the only logical way they could constantly feed without killing off or turning their victims is to visit once a month to feed, that is on every female when they are at the turning point of puberty, thus leading to a week or so of excruciating bleeding we humans pass off as normal. The human woman's period is the only logical way vampires could still exist and feed without evoking the suspicion of society to this day.

Therefore, the conclusions of the post are suspect (to say the least.)

Vampires were believed to be the cause of epidemics--usually the first in the village to die from it was blamed for coming back for the rest, starting with their own family. And yeah, I so need a life...........
