POET'S CORNER

Urethane and pavement the ultimate combination Flowing through the city streets oh the feeling, this can't be beat. With beer in hand and board on feet the cars fly by but I don't care. If I see a cop, I'll toss the beer fifty feet, that's all I need for it not to be my property.

--Ryan Donohue, Buffalo, NY

AWFUL TRUTH

VAMPIRES ARE A STATISTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY SAYS SCIENTIST

LiveScience.com--A researcher has come up with some simple math that sucks the life out of the vampire myth, proving that these highly popular creatures can't exist. University of Central Florida physics professor Costas Efthimiou's work debunks pseudoscientific ideas, such as vampires and zombies. Not only does the public believe in such topics, but the percentages are at dangerously high level, Efthimiou told LiveScience. Legend has it that vampires feed on human blood, and once bitten a person turns into a vampire and starts feasting on the blood of others. Efthimiou's debunking logic: On January 1, 1600, the human population was 536,870,911. If the first vampire came into existence that day and bit one person a month, there would have been two vampires by Feb. 1, 1600. A month later there would have been four, and so on. In just two-and-a-half years the original human population would all have become vampires with nobody left to feed on. If mortality rates were taken into consideration, the population would disappear much faster. Even an unrealistically high reproduction rate couldn't counteract this effect.
