    Was watching the last south park of the season and seen that they were taking the piss out of Twilight and Hot Topic.I did some research and seen loads of online communities dedicated to vampirism and drinking blood.It is described as a subset of Goth (as was emo).
    Has it taken hold in Ireland yet?Personally I haven't noticed it around.

    I was reading up on it and apparently it is best to suckle the blood as opposed to other routes as this causes less infection.Plus you could be done for assault for drawing the blood so they have to sign contracts.:eek:

    You haven't "noticed it around"? What do you mean by that? You haven't seen 14 year olds dressed in black capes running around biting the necks off each other?

    Can't say I've seen any vampires around the place. Although they wouldn't be very good vampires if they were out during daytime.

    That metallic taste is what allows you to carry Oxygen around!:)

    Correct.
    You need the iron for the O molecules to coordinate to.Otherwise they wouldn't stick.Technically blood isn't even a liquid.

    Because it is at such high pressures,the outside act as a liquid but the middle acts like a solid as in it doesn't freely move.It is dragged by the outer liquid.

    My friend in Biomed engineering was explaining it to me the other day.

    Goth, emo, vampire - They all look the same to me so I can't tell the difference.

    As far as the chemical properties of blood are concerned, they're made of blood plasma and magic.

    I wouldn't say I hate them, but if my hypothetical future children were emo and took it more seriously than just an image, I'd be slightly irritated all right. Although, in fairness, we all went through our various phases. Most emos grow out of it by 16/17.

    Heh when I saw this thread title I was just about to link to the southpark episode. I think cos the twilight movie's already been out for a while over there it's a much bigger seen than here, I'd say give it a few months before we start seeing the same effects here.

    I like them too (which is quite surprising for a modern and quite popular act), but by all accounts, they're utterly woeful live and only play for an average of 45 minutes. I'm glad I didn't waste €20ish on a ticket to see them.
