"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

academic paper proves with math that vampires do not exist.

[link]

money quote: "We conclude that if the first vampire appeared on January 1st of 1600 AD, humanity would have been wiped out by June of 1602, two and half years later"

Assumptions for the math: that vampires feed once a month and that when they feed, a human dies and a vampire is created.

Suffice it to say, I am not sure I agree with those assumptions (I'd assume more frequent feeding and that humans might just flat out die and not resurrect as a vampire), but that would shorten the projects of humanity wipe out, not lengthen.

Hmmph. I hold that smart vampires would not kill their prey every time they feed, because killing off the food supply is a bad plan.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's nice to see modern science dealing so rationally with vampires and zombies.

I am pretty sure it's turn two, the rest are food.

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

Well, you and Harmony are in agreement.

I'm just not sure I want that company.

Okay, between 2 & 3 I have a break, but the space in my calendar looks booked (why, yes, I am that person I complained about--but I only do it two hours a week, and sometimes I go to those meetings...) so I might lie down. Feel gross.

Which I'm sure is unrelated to the free pizza lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's hysterical. And I also question their assumptions!

I realize a big chunk of my job is playing telephone, but it is EXHAUSTING. Also I'm supposed to be working on the big project I mentioned earlier!
