Mr. Evil is on vacation until August. Until he returns, classic articles from the past will be posted for your reading enjoyment. This post is the very first to be published on this blog. Imagine that you know the truth: vampires are real! Just like in the movies, they’re evil, bloodsucking creatures of the…
