It's Cain. (salutes) Couldn't resist, mate. Heh.
Yes, and in Methuselah's case, he lived to 969. A ripe old age, eh? The longest-living man ever recorded.
There are also theories of a hidden race that were the children of women and the fallen angels that came and...um...well, you know. Some say these offspring have no souls. There are also ideas that they have more supernatural capabilities than humans and therefore can hide their origins, passing unseen among us...
I'm not sure what I think of that yet.

I think people lived longer and aged slower back in Bible times because they had the weight of populating the world on their shoulders. Seriously! I mean, how could you have a whole ton of kids like that in the span of, oh, say, 10 to 15 years? You would get worn out very quickly. So God temporarily lengthened the human life span for this necessity.
I have an interesting thing to say. You know how there were giants back in Bible times? I've heard say (and don't quote me on this) that they are descendants of fallen angels and women of our world. I forget what they were called back in Bible times though... my dad knows, though, so I'll ask him later. But giants (like Goliath, for example) where around back in Noah's day up until the time of King David.
I'm with Tiana on the whole vampire thing, though. And dragons, to me, would be the same thing as dinosaurs. And going by the Bible, dinosaurs and people did co - exist for quite a while after the Flood. Shoot, they may even still be around today in remote regions of the world. One never knows...

The what event? Do explain, as I have never heard of it...
Menephalum is what the ancient giants were called, although I know for a fact that I didn't spell that right. Feel free to correct me!

There's actually a disease that's very nearly vampiric... I can't remember the name, but the symptoms are the same. Extreme sensitivity to light, the need for blood, sharpened teeth. Yeah, when I was little I was scared to death that they were coming for me. Then I learned that there have only been a dozen reported cases in the world...heh. Wimp, I am.

*smiles* Exactly. Reported cases. Who knows, what if vampirism is just a genetic desiese and not the work of magic of any sort. Thats just as plausable as magic.

That's sort of a random professional choice... *snicker* I suppose it's better than psyching for people who think they're toaster ovens...
I've been reading these books by a guy named... umm... Jim Butcher, I think, that are sort of weirdly explanatory. About different types of vampires, I mean. The succubuses you mentioned belong to something called the White Court. There's also a Black Court, and a Red Court. Black Court vampires are all of the way dead -- but they're the kind of all the way dead that walk around. Red Court are the kind that have to live off of blood, as do Black Court, but they're still alive. It's sort of weird...

Not really if you think about it. If vampires exist wouldn't there be different species? Or different types depending on how they were created?
((On a side note I watched Dracula 2000 yesterday. That is such a cool movie.))

Hey, I was rushed!
But maybe we should change the topic, I'll wait 5 days for someone to suggest something and then I'll post a topic. Okay?
(Side note: W00T Vampires! Vampires = Hotness!)

Vampires....*hiss* Creatures of the night....
Someone needs to give a vampire a horse. Vampires riding big black friesians = major coolness....
Riding at night trying to act like a vampire = freakiness.... (don't ask)

I love friesians....*dreams about them* But then again I have to say I have a much easier time on my small 15.2 Hand paint....and I love paints sooo much!!! *hugs paint*....
Gosh, I'd hate to fall off of a friesian though. Sheesh, that would be quite the fall.
Do friesians have anything to do with the paranormal? *ponders* Maybe....

When I was little, I was the founding member of the paranormal club in my year. We called ourselves 'Mission Girls Gang' *cringe* and basically thought that everyone were ghosts. The headmistress, our teacher, the painting in the cafeteria, even the prime minister.
It was when we discovered that the old headmistress we were convinced was haunting the school was still alive that we realized everyone else probably weren't ghosts either.
Since then, I've been very sceptical about the paranormal. Which you wouldn't guess by the stories I write.

Referring to a bit of a ways above... Aw, but you know how when you're a kid, everything can seem so inflated out of proportion... (grins) That aside, I think even one case way back in history would have been enough to start a story, which would start a rumour, which would start a legend. It's certainly not impossible. As for the Tunguska event, the name didn't ring a bell, so I went and looked it up and found yes, I had heard of it. Way the heck out in the middle of Siberia in June of 1908, there was this massive explosion out in the wilderness there. They say the size was something around ten to fifteen megatons. People say they saw this big bright ball of fire coming down just before stuff went all 'splodey. They thought it might have been a meteorite until they discovered they couldn't find any crater where it hit. There's a theory it was a really really small black hole that went right through the earth and came out of the ocean somewhere on the other side, but apparently that was disproved. There was also talk about antimatter, etc., and (of course) UFOs and whatever possible related alien activity that might have centred around it. I found more stuff about it here at Wikipedia. It's always been a rather fascinating subject... |

There are actually a lot of people who have this "disease" though I'm not so sure if it's a disease persay. I would call it more of a mental issue.
Blood is actually quite nutritious. There are many tribes in Africa that drink the blood of their cows because it lasts longer. They are able to bleed the cows every two months or so without killing them. It is just about as nutritious as eating the meat, but you don't have to kill the animal. Of course, I'm not to sure of the taste. I do know blood has a very metallic taste, but it depends on what is fed.
Anyhow, what do ya'll think about Roswell? Area 51?
