Actually, not having a car doesn't make a dog a bad idea.

Jack Aubrey snapped immediately into consciousness; a man with his years of sea-experience must be able to awaken in a moment. It must be admitted that such a man might occasionally fall asleep in a moment, as well, and such indeed proved the case on this particular occasion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It looks like, from a cursory glance at that link, they are ignoring the whole "There's a whole sucking thing, mostly they just kill you" effect in calculating the growth of the vampire population.

Yeah. There need to be a few more numbers in there -- it needs to be how many people each vampire kills each month, and how many people each vampire turns each month. Which would make for some kind of interesting equations -- a predator/prey relationship is pretty easy to model - it's in every intro-level differential eqations textbook - but the predator/prey/turning would add in all kinds of weirdness. Hmm.

Don't forget the existence of a predator of the predators upon the predator/prey ratio, too.
All the lovely talk of dogs -- last night I caught up with Mythbusters who were examining dog 'myths' like teaching old dogs new tricks, methods of escaping from bloodhounds and evading guard dogs. The doggies were adorable, and everybody had a lot of fun, especially the dogs.
It's definitely an episode that I'd recommend for people who don't follow the show regularly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's a good thing that the idea of "Turn two; the rest are food" never really caught on....
