Random trivia

Maverik: nothing to do with DRACULA. Vlad the impaler was the Historical Dracula, Bram Stoker's was the Literary Dracula, but I'm looking for the originator of the VAMPIRE MYTH.
Perun: you got the Bible part right, wrong Testament.
 
New testament... it's not Christ, "in whom we have redemption through his blood", is it?
 
Christians are basically cannibals:

Eat, this is my flesh
Drink, this is my blood...














Hands off! That's my arse! [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
Revelation 17:6 - And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Perun, I think it's your credit this time.
 
No, charlotte... it was just a wild guess [!--emo&-_---][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sleep.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'sleep.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
No, No and No,
Next clue, it has to do with the particular fate of a certain apostle....

Christ is not a Vampire nor a zombie,
and the only Christian denomination accused of cannibalism (not my fault non-believing puny minds can't understand it) are Catholics.
 
It must be Judas. A common belief is that god cursed Judas to walk the earth until the second coming of Jesus. Until then he would be thirsty for the blood of Jesus that he could only drink through christians.
 
EXCELLENT SYL!!! That's exactly it. Judas commited suicide damning himself and with that he is supposedly in burning in hell. However, others argue that heaven and hell haven't been created and won't be created until the second coming. Therefore Judas is damned to roam at night (he hung himself during the day hence the vampire's loathing of daylight.)
 
ach, I should have gotten that one. I've watched Dracula 2000 at least a thousand times [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
I could use another riddle [!--emo&:blush:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/blush.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'blush.gif\' /][!--endemo--] . Anyone?
 
Subject: Germany after World War II.

The picture below shows chancellor Konrad Adenauer (far right) and the three Allied high comisars (from left to right), John McCloy (USA), André François-Poncet (France) and Brian Robertson (UK) during a meeting at Petersberg in Königswinter, near Bonn. The four are discussing the status of sovereignity of West Germany. Adenauer is reading a document to the three comissars. What else is happening on the picture?

Note: You do not necessarily need historical knowledge for the answer. Good eyes and a sense for combination might do it.

I didn't ask what is happening while you're looking at it [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
Pineapple Hunter is right! Two of the three Allied comissars are looking at Adenauers feet instead of his face; that is how you can tell.

The picture is quite historic in Germany, as it was a symbol for Adenauers self-confidence that was to become very fruitful for his further policy.
 
PH, you're great!

What I have to say about girl power is that the 20th century was awfully sexist : there's only one woman in the room. Where are the others ? They probably didn't deserve to be in such an important place at such an important moment of history.
