On the lighter side of things these days, there has been news that affects all the Goths out there. A physics professor has delved into the mystery of Vampires, and in a crushing blow that Blade wished he could do, removing their existence. Yes the vampire hunter in question is a professor at University of Central Florida, and he used an unknown weapon that vampires have a weakness to – Math. If only Van Helsing knew this.
It seems that the professor crunched the numbers and proved that if vampires existed since the 1600’s they would have over-run the planet long ago. Of course those with a conspiracy theory bent could always argue that the vampires are using this theorem to help hide their existence among us. Perhaps Anne Rice’s Lestat and professor Efthimiou could get together and debate the issue on Fox News. They say they are ‘fair and balanced’ so it should be the perfect forum. And since they are on 24/7 it can be done at night.
In news that’s easier to lick (yes a bad pun and only effective for the older among us) new stamps have been release. This series is dedicated to greats in entertainment. Mr. James Stewart, know for his roles in It’s a Wonderful Life and Harvey [great classic films that you should see if you haven’t yet] and his time in fighting WW II, now graces a stamp. Mr. Stewart is joined with the great Ms. Ella Fitzgerald, jazz vocalist supreme, 13 time Grammy Award winner, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Honor. Other items of interest to philatelist are the release of the Aladdin and Genie, Dumbo and Timothy Mouse, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell stamps. Not to be outdone, a mix of Marvel characters will be out including Spider-Man, the Hulk, Wolverine, Electra and Captain America. It’s a nice time to be a collector I think.
This is what I think, what do you think?
