Real Life Vampires Seek Tolerance
Found this interesting article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper (also online). Thought this might be of interest.
By Christopher Quinn, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Being a vampire is boring compared with the young, beautiful and powerful bloodsuckers appearing weekly on TV and movie screens. Merticus, an organizer of the 4-year-old Atlanta Vampire Alliance, said vampires are mostly like anyone else.
“We could be the model-train group down the street from you,” he said. Except the model-train group depends on electricity as a power source. Atlanta vampires believe they drain energy from people and some, yes, drink a bit of human blood to get the boost they need.

Joseph Laycock's book came from a paper he did on the Atlanta group's survey.

Profiles
Question: What are your privacy settings on your profile? I'm interested to know how other people do theirs. I have mine set for only friends to see. I have my reasons for doing this, but recently got castigated in another group for having a "closed" profile. I'm really not trying to be anti-social! I just tend to be more private. I'm also not looking to date or anything like that. If I go to someone else's profile and theirs is set to private, I don't get offended. Do you?

The Audacity of Mankind
Watched a show late last night with a group of scientists that say colonizing Mars is possible.
Incredibly, they said first man would have to "warm the planet up" because of its makeup and place in the universe.
The Audacity of that statement! That they could think mere man could alter the makeup of the universe!
I was appalled.
They suggested man could set of H-Bombs first to "warm it up" then build thousands of fossil fuel plants to spew out CO2 and other greenhouse gases into Mars' atmosphere and over 100 years could make it habitable.
Man is a dangerous specis indeed.

A Coyote Picture Story
Meet the wiliest of all coyotes: Hit by a car at 75mph, embedded in the fender, road for 600 miles - and SURVIVED!
When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on.
They didn't realize this was the toughest creature ever to survive a hit-and-run.
Eight hours, two fuel stops, and 600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender - and very much alive.
Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of coyotes near the roadside on October 12.
When one of the animals ran in front of the car, the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping.
'Right off the bat, we knew it was bad,' Daniel explained.. 'We thought the story was over.'
After the incident around 1am, they continued their 600 mile drive to North San Juan - even stopping for fuel at least twice.
But it was only when they finally reached their destination at 9am did they take time to examine what damage they may have sustained.
At first it looked as though it was going to be quite gruesome.
'[Daniel] saw fur and the body inside the grill,' Tevyn East said. 'I was trying to keep some distance. Our assumption was it was part of the coyote - it didn't register it was the whole animal.'
Daniel East got a broom to try and pry the remains out of the bumper and got the shock of his life..
'It flinched,' Tevyn East said. 'It was a huge surprise - he got a little freaked out.'
