Vampires and Sickness Beyond the Blog
In centuries past, as the fear of vampirism swept much of Europe, there were incidents which led some people, such as French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau, to believe vampires were real. Isn't it possible the supposed instances of vampire-like appearance and odd behavior could have been symptoms of an epidemic of disease?

British scientists say they have stumbled across a fossilized claw from an ancient, extinct sea scorpion that they believe indicates the scorpion was at least 8 feet long. Despite fossils that show ancient extinct species were gigantic in comparison to their present day descendants, scientists are surprised by this find. With illustration. You'll find a more complete illustration accompanying the same text here.
