Why vampires couldn't exist

By T.K. Randall

A paper has been published demonstrating the impossibility of the concept of vampires, drawing upon the fact that if vampires were among us then we would have seen a huge population explosion and their food supply (us) would have ran out.
Two physicists have published an academic paper where they demonstrate, by virtue of geometric progression, that vampires could not exist, since they would almost immediately deplete their entire food supply (a.k.a, all of us)."

ok just chill i was asking about the Myths and clarifying my question ebonykrow since you wanted to talk about blood, there was no need to get in a tizzy. by the way there are a great variety of myths concerning vampires, the few that i read and heard led me to my opinion. and excuse me if i offend you but it seems that yours are only concerning the christian beliefs. Not in a tizzy, just trying to make deeper clarifications. However, there are not a variety of myths about vampires, just vampire-like creatures. Please try to remember that nearly every culture has their own take on the flesh-co... [More]

Shaka, you'll note that there was no "Tooth Fairy Plague" in Central and Eastern Europe between 1690 and 1750. Or was there?.....................

I'm a vampire! We're allllll vampires! MAHAHAHAHAHA. That is a horribly crude reference... I knew it! You were a vampire all along. Your stance against modern day vampire lore was just a little too passionate to be based simply on people's ignorance or unfounded belief of the subject. Very clever. What better way to cover up your existence than to insist your kind doesn't exist. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that I am a descendant of a true Van Helsing-type vampire slayer (actually, the name's Vic Helsing, if you must know ). Well, I never said I was any good at it.

That said, please keep an eye on the dates of the thread you are responding to. There isn't anything inherently bad about necroposting, but it is considered bad nettiquete, and often the people one is responding to aren't even on the board any longer. I will go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to post in currently active threads, or, if you feel you have an interesting topic, start up a thread of your own (In t... [More]
