Do vampires exist?

Son: Do you know vampires could exist?

Dad: No, they couldn't.

Son: Yes, they could because mosquitos suck blood. There's no reason
why vampires couldn't have evolved to suck blood and... [long
explanation about how vampires might have evolved alongside humans].

Dad: OK, but the real questions is, "Do vampires produce sperm?

Son: What? I don't know.

Dad: I mean, "How do vampires reproduce?"

Son: By biting people's necks.

Dad: That seems pretty effective to me. Don't you think evolution
would have concentrated on that and pretty much done away with sperm?

Son: Dad!

David: I'm just saying that if vampires did exist, they wouldn't be
going around making out with high-school girls because they wouldn't
have the balls.

Son: You're embarrassing me.

Dad: Sorry.

what i learned at origins

i'm nothing but an insignifant spec on a pebble of a round, pale blue
planet in an expanding, flat universe.

i might of never happened had carbon molecules not come in closely
to each other and reacted to form a replicatable existence that
eventually produced all life.

also had life not eventually produced the primate, and had that
primate not had gone through trial after trial, almost foing extinct,
then i might not be able to think about all this now.

there was a certain dark theme at origins, which may or may not have
had to with the existence of actual dark matter or the string that may
hold all of this together.

a sense of mischief throughout the event could be felt, because there
was work being done there that, while grounded in science, would send
a strong message to the world: science is back.

it was really never gone. research has continued into the origin of
humans and the universe. but its significance has laid dormant
awaiting a revolutionary resurgence.

Kelsea's thumb

Dear Mr. Zarnick,

I'm afraid Kelsea will have trouble writing anything tomorrow. And she
won't be able to attend PE this week. Her thumb is sprained, possibly
worse. It was sacrificed graciously to save her young cousin from
flying into a pile of rocks. She was giving the boy a ride on a
scooter when he decided to make an unsuspected jerk.

Rule of thumb, never ride a scooter with a four-year-old.
