2009-12-10T03:36:43Z

GregoriusXIII:

'''Neil Young''' is a [[Canadian]] musician who has had a successful career spanning four decades. He first came to fame in the late 1960s as a member of the band Buffalo Springfield, and later as a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. After this, he began embarking on a solo career, although often recording with the band Crazy Horse.

Although much of Young's early solo work is undeniably folk-influenced, he has experienced with many different musical genres, including industrial and grunge. (Young is often referred to as the "godfather of grunge" due to his influence on the grunge movement.)

The song ''Sweet Home Alabama'' was in response to Neil Young putting down southerners in one of his songs.

Young has strong [[liberal]] political views. In 2006, he released an album, ''Living with War'', which included a song called "Let's Impeach The President". The first line of that song is "Let's impeach the president for lying and leading our country into war." Another controversial line in the song is "What if [[Al Qaeda]] blew up the levees? Would [[New Orleans]] have been safer that way?"

Vampire

2009-12-10T03:06:20Z

GregoriusXIII:

A '''Vampire''' is a mythological creature who drinks the [[blood]] of living [[human beings]] for sustenance. [[Bram Stoker]]'s ''[[Dracula]]'' is one of the most famous references to vampires. Most tales of vampires came from Eastern Europe. Another famous example is [[Richard Matheson]]'s novel ''[[I Am Legend]]''.

In the horror genre, vampires have been popularized in many books, movies, and role playing games. The abilities of vampires differ in various fiction and myth. In ''Dracula'', the vampire is able to transform into a bat or dog and to manipulate the weather. In most variants of the myth, a vampire's human victim also becomes a vampire.

Vampires are impervious to most forms of injury, and can only be destroyed in certain ways. Again these vary among differing fictions, but usually include driving a wooden stake through the vampire's heart, decapitation or exposure to sunlight. Vampires are usually repelled by [[garlic]], crucifixes and sometimes mirrors.

Vampires are generally portrayed as evil, although a few recent books and films have portrayed vampire characters in a sympathetic light. Such portrayals are inspired by the devil.

Vampires are real. They are pawns in the devils hands sent forth to sew destruction in the last days. Vampires sightings, while rare, are on the rise. On Fox News it was recently reported that the entire Kennedy family is a Vampire Coven. Vampires that choose to consort with human kind during the daylight typically masquerade as coastal liberal elites. It is well known that coastal blood contains more nitrogen and is thus more suitable for healthy vampire diets. Also Vampires ally themselves with liberals to promote abortion so they can drink fetus blood.

== In books ==

In books vampires have been portayed many a time throughout history. The most famous vampire in literature is probably [[Bram Stoker]]'s ''[[Dracula]]''.

In today's literature, a popular vampire book is ''Twilight'' by Stephenie Meyer.

== In film ==

There have been numerous films featuring vampires, including several adaptations of ''Dracula'', such as the version starring [[Christopher Lee]], and the loose adaptation ''[[Nosferatu]]'' (1922) by the famed German [[Expressionist]], [[F.W. Murnau]].

More recent examples include [[Van Hellsing (film)|''Van Hellsing'']], [[Underworld (film)|''Underworld'']], and the [[Blade (film)|''Blade'']] series, each with its own reimagining of the vampire myth.

Dessert

2009-12-10T02:24:53Z

GregoriusXIII:

In Western culture, '''dessert''' is the sweet course of a meal, served after the main course and before the serving of [[cheese]]. It is sometimes also known as ''pudding'' or ''sweet''. At elaborate dinner parties, sweet ''dessert wines'' are served to accompany it.

Among young coastal liberal elites it is common to lace certain desserts, particularly brownies, with marijuana. This enables the young liberal elite to open his or her mind to the spirits. It is commonly believed that this ritual causes young liberal elites to become more promiscuous and to lose a significant portion of their muscle mass.

Chewing gum

2009-12-10T02:08:19Z

GregoriusXIII:

'''Chewing gum''' is a flavored confectionary for chewing made from [[sugar]] and different [[polymer]]s. Chewing gum was originally made from chicle, the sap of a [[South America]]n [[tree]], but most mass-produced chewing gum these days is [[synthetic]]. Chewing gum is produced in many flavors such as bubble gum, mint, berry and citrus.

Chewing gum is banned in several countries and cities, most notably in the [[nanny state]] [[Singapore]], where it was banned for twelve years under punishment of public humiliation, [[caning]], or worse. That legislation was recently revised so that chewing gum may again be sold, but under high regulation. Violations carry stiff fines and possible imprisonment of 2 years.<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-05-26-singapore-gum_x.htm</ref>
