<G> That's a hoot, thanks for sharing it!  *Wonders* Now why are we seeing so
much vampire-related research recently?  Maybe these researchers know something
we don't?

  I'm not sure if the following article is ghost written by Nat, or if she
supported the work, but I hope she is not around when the Enforcers find
out!

The latest issue (March-April) of the Annals of Improbable Research
contains the article:

"The Chemical and Physical Properties of Vampires in the Gaseous State"
by Sanford, Dworkin, and Bernstein

The paper finds that vampires in their gaseous form must be made of a
particular human blood protein (as it has the appropriate molecular
weight), and advances the theory that a particular gene creates this
protein (they call it "vampirase") that results in the conversion of a
mortal to a vampire. With the protein identified, they suggest an
antidote might be developed! (There's still hope for Nick!)

They go on to determine the vampiric phase diagram, finding that they
must change state (from solid to gas or gas to solid) at constant
pressure, with a change in body temperature (remember PV=3DnRT from high
school chemistry?), but a constant temperature with a change in pressure
- similar to stormy low pressure conditions - may also work.

The whole article is a hoot! It contains "References" such as
"Dracula", "Nosferatu", several Anne Rice books, "Angel" and "Dark
Shadows" episodes, (alas no FK) etc. as sources for the "facts" and
observed effects of vampires.

The journal comes from the organizers of the "Ig Nobel Prize", who
annually reward unusual real research. They have a website:
(www.improbable.com ), however the article
is not available online, but it is listed there. Probably your best bet
in getting hold of it might be to try your local library or a college or
university library.

Subject: Email Address Change and Need Help With "Subscriptions," Please?
(Sorry Cross/Mass Post!)

Good Morning!

Please excuse while I stick my nose in here with a "business" thingie.....

I tried this with the sbc.global "autoswitch" thing, but many messages were
rejected due to their gosh darned PICTURE in the email--sorry about that!!

My email address has changed FROM mccelt2003@a.......

TO: mccelt2003@s.......

(The AOL address will remain in effect for a while, so no worries on me getting
mail!)

I am sorry to have to do it this way, but for reasons most folks will already
know, I cannot manage the re-subscribing thing on my own.

LISTMOMS (and DADS), *please* can you help me with doing so to the new addy
(the sbcglobal one) with all my current settings?  (McL/Don, eg: I am "nowar" on
Forkni-L, and on the fic list I am set to get VS4 *only*, I do believe...., no
adult content [unless it is in VS4, stuff like that....).

If anyone who is reading this is on ADRIAN'S ANGELS, I would like to go back ON
that list, please; I cannot find the List Server.......

Perhaps someone from Highla-L can send me *instructions* as to how to do it, I
am afraid I deleted my last "Bi-Monthly Reminder" <g>.

Sorry again, McL, Don, Libs, Merrie Gail, Debbie, and Lucard list owner (mind
just went blank, oh gee!!).

Thank you very much!

Forever Yours,
Forever Peace,
HUGS to All,
Billie-Lee (who is in "AOL Anywhere" and has no sig line here <g>)
