Oh ok then, my mistake, thought youw ere trying to imply the existance of cursed undead blood drinkers due to the existance of some people who drink blood some times. [img]smile.gif[/img] I think some people want to believe in the schlock but when faced with reality try to confuse the issue by changing the definition of Vampire.
Main Entry: vam·pire
Pronunciation: 'vam-"pIr
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from German Vampir, from Serbo-Croatian vampir
Date: 1734
1 : the reanimated body of a dead person believed to come from the grave at night and suck the blood of persons asleep
2 a : one who lives by preying on others b : a woman who exploits and ruins her lover
Definition number one is the most commonly accepted meaning of the word. Any other definitions that are given just cloud the issue and derail the arguments.
