Vampires Not Real!

(According to physicist Costas Efthimiou)

"Efthimiou takes out the calculator to prove that if a vampire sucked one person's blood each month -- turning each victim into an equally hungry vampire -- after a couple of years there would be no people left, just vampires. He started his calculations with just one vampire and 537 million humans on Jan. 1, 1600 and shows that the human population would be down to zero by July 1602."

Do me a favor and don't tell my 5 year-old nephew that. I've convinced him that vampires come out on Halloween night and he's psyched for it.

That only proves the bitten don't automatically turn into vampires with one bite.

And everyone knows that vampires can hibernate for decades if necessary if there aren't enough people to go around.

Anyone who believes that vampires don't exist has not been paying attention to the senate races.
