His theory states that On Jan 1, 1600, the human population was 536,870,911. If the first vampire came into existence that day and bit one person a month, there would have been two vampires by Feb. 1, 1600. A month later there would have been four, and so on. In just two-and-a-half years the original human population would all have become vampires with nobody left to feed on.
Professor Costas is assuming that anyone bitten by a vampire would turn into a vampire. I suggest he watches a few recent vampire movies like Blade, Blade II, Blade Trinity and Underworld and Underworld Evolution. Maybe, read a few Anne Rice Books and watch a few Buffy episodes also.
He needs to know that you do not become a vampire by being bitten by one, you need to be sired by a vampire to become one, meaning having the vampire offer you some of his blood to drink resulting in you joining the undead.
Therefore, mathematically, vampires can exist. Good try Prof Costas, but your comclusion is wrong.
I was watching TV the other day and I learnt that
ReplyDeletewerewolves do exist :)
and they say too much TV is not good for you !!:P
Yeah and next thing the man will try to tell us there's no such thing as the tooth fairy. No thanks buddy i'm still hanging on to this cross and garlic necklace. I watched Buffy faithfully when it was on. I have all of Ann Rice's books before she turned to writing for Jesus. I know man I know about them blood suckers and no I am not talking politics right now.
ReplyDeleteWa3alaya :(
ReplyDeleteThats all it took to prove his theory wrong, misaicheen.
diigmaa: also, don't believe everythnig scientists tell you, check the facts.
ReplyDeletemia: seen any vampires recently?
DR: he needed to do some vampire homework first before jumping to conclusions.
Interesting post.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct but you don't have to be sired by them...depending on the type of vampire
ReplyDeleteA remarkable post, but you do not have to be sired by a Vampire to be changed into one. Vampires do not have blood because they are dead, so you can't drink from them. It is more complex than that.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting subject none the less.
