Rene Almanza’s is my personal favourite.

Vampowers

Whoever put together Wikipedia’s ‘Table of Vampire Traits‘ definitely had themselves a little fun - highlights include:

Attractiveness

  • Count Duckula - Alluring [citation required]
  • Underworld - Kate Beckinsale

Weaknesses

  • Count Chocula - Becomes soggy in milk
  • Count Von Count - Obsessive urge to count anything on hand*

*Whilst he was blatantly created because of the Count/count thing I’ve only just realised that his obsession to count is an actual** vampiric trait - traditionally seeds were a suitable defence which also brings to mind the (quite excellent) X-Files episode  ‘Bad Blood

**Yeah, not real, whatever…

Two photo related posts, both via kottke.

  1. Upside-down celebrity heads - actually a mindfuck; I’m not sure I’ll sleep tonight for fear of a celebrity-faced xenomorph crawling along my ceiling and snaking its bizarre inverted face down to feast upon my flesh.
  2. World Press Photo of the Year - some powerful stuff (some of it quite mindfucking but in a completely different way) - be warned: some of the images are graphic (including pictures of wounded and dead and an execution by stoning).
