Your last sentence made me giggle. And hey, I agree. XD They should spend their time trying to prove lycanthropy is a possibility. Hee.

It is! People are born with that disease where they have hair all over their bodies...there are pictures and everything!

Likewise, there is also medical vampirism...

pontdulioncourt November 3 2006, 02:33:47 UTC

And social and psychic vampirism...really, this makes one wonder about scientific progress and how much they really know! The lab people really need to get out more and drink a bit of blood, so to speak...

Emily, I love you. That's all that really needs to be said. And that someone needs to send this to the guy who wrote the article

pontdulioncourt October 31 2006, 21:49:21 UTC

I love you too, Leina. *hug*

I was thinking about emailing him. Or something. Or sending him a formal letter.

Esp. since they released this practically on Halloween...way to ruin the magic for the small children!

The whole vampire, witches, paranormal stuff makes Halloween FUN! It's not JUST the candy. I bet next he's going to write an article that disproves the existence of Santa, and then the Easter Bunny, and then I'll go burn his house down.

Unless Louis gets there first...then he'll save you the trouble.

I agree with you......... dracschick November 1 2006, 01:49:22 UTC

Maybe he was paid by vampires to write it:)

Re: I agree with you......... pontdulioncourt November 1 2006, 04:13:21 UTC

But somehow I think that the vampires would be more clever in disproving themselves...they're pretty slick creatures, after all.

And the Number One Creature this year!

Dude... Varney... Ruthven... Lestat + Science = Big Tantrum... Dracula + Science = Insane Laughter... the examples that knock your comment on the head are manifold! ;-)
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he did not exist... surely a double bluff is more in a vampire's style? That this dude's so cock-a-hoop, he makes people take the vampires' side?!

Re: I agree with you......... pontdulioncourt November 3 2006, 02:36:44 UTC

But it's not the science that's wrong...it's the myth part that he flubbed up. In terms of science...pretty much everyone ought to be kept out of a lab. Radu would cause an explosion, Louis and Riv would set up something illegal...

What really made me laugh the most about that artivle was how worried he was that "percentages [of people who believe in vampires] are at dangerously high level"

I'd like to know where he did his research, since it seems like his idea of vampires was based on Wes Craven's Dracula. :P

pontdulioncourt November 1 2006, 04:14:30 UTC

Wes Craven's Dracula is something that must never be brought up in public ever. It might have been even worse than Queen of the Damned...and they made like...two more of them too!

savagegrace November 2 2006, 01:42:27 UTC

Wes Craven's Dracula: What happens when you write a fanfic of Dracula on acid.

Queen of the Damned wasn't completely without merit...if one hasn't read the book. Wes Craven just took all logic and threw it out the bloody window.

Did they make more? *head shake*

Declan would have loved that article....... jadechihuahua November 1 2006, 23:32:35 UTC

But the guy who wrote it also forgot to take in account the astonishingly large number of vampires who die each full moon when raccoons hunt them down and drink their blood as a cure for baldness.......

Tchh, he clearly knew nothing about vampires whatsoever.....

Re: Declan would have loved that article....... pontdulioncourt November 1 2006, 23:46:49 UTC

Silly scientists! When will they learn to actually research the things they hypothesize about?!

Re: Declan would have loved that article....... jadechihuahua November 2 2006, 00:10:04 UTC

Oh, by the way, Ive started Queen of The Damned. Tis interesting so far. But tis late, and I must go offline. I'll be on MSN tomorrow, G'night.

Re: Declan would have loved that article....... pontdulioncourt November 2 2006, 00:43:52 UTC

Queen of the Damned is intense in its tryings to establish the VCs as a canon-type series...there's a vampire creation myth and everything!
