LTK:
Does it mention the modern incarnation, the glampire? Do some of them suck money from their victims, as a scampire? Is the carnivorous tuber a yampire?
...
I should go to bed.

Sadly the book hasn't been published in English but if you happen to speak German you should look to get your hands on a copy of "Kinder des Judas" by Markus Heitz. One of my favorite books ever and the different species of vampires he creates are all based on east european vampire lore. It's a great read.

I really like the different coloured triangles for Mod-speak as demonstrated in the new thingy about people's private parts. Makes me wonder how many colours there are, whether that number can be enlarged and randomised. It's very ... christmass-y.

In principle the colours are:
Moderator Comment Yellow for "ordinary" mods - i.e. those who are specific to a sub-forum Global Moderator Comment Blue for Global mods Administrator Comment Red for admins
Each can use the ones above, though, so an admin can distinguish whether they are speaking with an "admin" voice or a "mod" voice. Loki is the only non-global mod (by his request); but I might have enabled blue triangles for him anyway - I can't actually remember.
It's also possible to change the heading:
You'd better listen when the mod speaks! Well, you do, right?
I suppose I could invent green and lilac triangles if I could be bothered; but I've no reason to, so I won't.

It's actually kind of fun to watch movies set in certain historical periods and spot the anachronisms. The movie I'm currently watching had workers in 1941 being paid with cash from after 2000 ($20 bills in 1941 didn't have the giant 20 on the reverse side).
edit -- incidentally, when the name "RoboCop" is spoken in Portuguese, it sounds to an English speaker like "HoboCop."
