It turns out that americans have trouble learning where stuff is. Or maybe they have no trouble at all and just dont give a damn.

A man called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that is not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state."

University of Central Florida theoretical physics professor Costas Efthimiou and graduate student Sohang Gandhi proved that certain behavior attributed to vampires is impossible.

Their paper “Ghosts, Vampires and Zombies: Cinema Fiction vs. Physics Reality,” they explore vampires' behavior as portrayed in movies.

Take Blade. In the 1998 vampire flick, the fanged night-dwellers feed on the blood of humans, who, once bitten, turn into vampires themselves. Impossible, say the scientists - and they use a basic math principle, geometric progression, to prove it.

But the joke is on them. Blade is just a movie and in real life feeding doesn't create progeny...
