Also when less ozone in the lower atmosphere (ozone in lower atmosphere is generally a sign of pollution). If you put one over your side mirror and drive around it will survive longer in the country than it will it the city before turning brittle and breaking.
Long ago mirrors were backed with silver, which is why they say vampires have no reflection as it's generally known they don't like the stuff (see Blade). Now we would see their reflection as mirrors are made with cheaper metals. We may be surrounded by vampires and not know it.
I can trace my family back to Transylvanian nobility. Those nobles all interbred... it's highly possible I'm related to the real life Vlad. Incidentally I also have "autosomal dominant compulsive helio-ophthalmic outbursts syndrome" or ACHOO, which is a syndrome that means the sun makes you sneeze... So maybe related to Dracula and I have a reaction to sunlight... I haven't tried biting anyone yet, but as I haven't died yet, there is a possibility I'm also immortal.
So three facts from my favourite podcast this week: 1) the Latin name for tomato means "wolf peach" after an unknown Egyptian fruit of the same name that was described by Romans but apparently went extinct by the time we discovered tomatoes in the new world. Also, it was believed witches ate tomatoes to turn into warewolves. 2) The placebo-effect works and helps you feel better even when you know you're only taking a placebo. Multiple studies have shown that if you give someone a placebo and make it known to them that it's only a placebo, they start to feel better quicker than people who didn't receive a placebo. 3) You can give yourself a stroke just by cracking your neck or stretching your neck. May only be a 1 in a million chance.... But still, cracking your neck could kill you. (Unless you're an immortal vampire).
A nocebo effect is said to occur when negative expectations of the patient regarding a treatment cause the treatment to have a more negative effect than it otherwise would have.
