Vampires don't exist!

cyberwolf77

At least that's what some professional scientists say.

Crumble Froo

what if it's like the charlaine harris vampires, though, and a certain amount of ritual is required before someone is turned to a vampire, while most are just drained and killed?
or like the poppy z brite vampires, where vampires are actually a different species, and are born, not made, and the mothers always die when giving birth?

i reckon the scientists didnt explore all the possibilities.

cyberwolf77

Most scientists probably aren't as well read in vampire fiction as you or me Froo. They going with the broad strokes of Hollywood vampires.

I are vampire..... rarrrr

cyberwolf77

I am werewolf. Still waiting to hear why we don't exist according to science.

Doctor DooM

Well, kindred? The garou are representing in this thread and we're not even the ones in question.







Anyway, of course nerin exists. I've had pints with him.

cyberwolf77

I just provided a link to an article reporting on some silly physicists theories about why vampires couldn't exist alongside humanity. Don't be thinking I doubt the existence of vampires. I've broken five or six knuckles cracking their thick heads.

That was my assertion of dominance over them to keep them from bothering the local squirrels. Those are my squirrels d*mn it! We became fast friends afterwards.

Crumble Froo

good to hear

i wonder why they bothered the squirrels?

and i wonder if they can change shape, or levitate?

They was trying to eat the squirrels. I eat the squirrels. As far as shape-changing no, but they did get some serious air after I started tossing them about. Does that count as levitation?

Crumble Froo

it's only levitation if they keep the air :pac:

waht about appearing/disappearing in a mist? i reckon they could definitely do that.

cyberwolf77

Don't think they could do that either, though they did make a loud pop by displacing the air when they took off running after I mentioned I was done playing around. I still caught them, but they had an impressive turn of speed I'll admit.

Crumble Froo

i reckon they could, just that there was no mist around at the time. which is why they do better off in ireland, than in americaland. *nods*

Indeed, the DooM is as pure as driven snow on a mountain on a planet where there's no life to contaminate it in an alternate dimension without bacteria.

This threads given me an idea for the role playing thread though... The basic storyline could be theres a treaty between werewolves, vampires et al which keeps war from breaking out... and the players are trying to maintain that peace...

Two physicists have published an academic paper where they demonstrate, by virtue of geometric progression, that vampires could not exist.

Thye claim it was done as a thought experiment to refute three other papers published on the subject, so somewhere somebody got paid to at least read it.

Crumble Froo

to refute other papers? so there's papers out there saying that vampires could/do exist?

or have i misunderstood?

fangs", and these, along with what he described as a rattle-snake-like mandible, buttressed palate, "surgically-sharp" unguals, robust limbs and other characters suggested that Jeholopterus was a vampire pterosaur adapted to plunging fangs into tough hide, then rotating the skull forward locking the fangs beneath the hide to improve adhesion. The small teeth of the lower jaw would not have penetrated but squeezed the wound like a pliers.[3] Prominent pterosaur researcher Chris Bennett has described Peters' findings as "fantasy" and has vehemently denounced his methodology

Pterosaur*, not dinosaur! :mad:

Or is that TERRORsaur!?!?!?!?!? *gets goat*

*Looks up pterosaur* Holy frack! This creepy critter could fly to. Oh, I glad that extinct. Sorry Galvasean for my mistake in calling it a dinosaur.
