I should have made myself more clear. I mean Columbo with Nick as the *suspect/killer*. (or maybe this could be the one case Columbo gets wrong) The idea is that all the nitpicking Columbo does feeds into Nick's angst factor.

Screed might even make Columbo his childe--- along with Freddie the Freeloader (Red Skelton). Heck--- this would explain why 'Columbo 'went off the air, while 'Mrs. Columbo' went on.

Oh yes, I can see Columbo driving LC up the wall with his famous: "Oh sir, just one thing more.." routine. Also, while I agree that Nick would growl "Not in my caddy" to the cigars, I also think Nick would recognize the intelligence beneath the rumpled facade and a fellow "lone-wolf" investigator. ----- Mary mcombs@e.......

That is a very speculative question, my fave kind :) Hmm well we've met quite a few Toronto vampires. Aristotle, Feliks, Vachon,Urs, Alma, Janette, LC, Screed, the tech in what was it, "Unreality TV" ? Since vampire populations are likely located near or in major cities (easier to blend in and have the "alternative" lifestyle they need), we'd be considering cities. Take TO: Assuming there is the one club in town and many frequent it... I'd guess about 250 in TO. So *very* roughly(if the TO pop is about 5-6 million?) one out every 20,000 or so TO city folks is one. 1/20 000 city folks. That would make the world Vamp pop. in the higher thousands I imagine - ? - I dunno but that is my guess.

OTOH, they could defrost the corpus and use embalming fluids and such to remove the blood. Would probably be the vamp equivalent of rot-gut, though... OTTH, depending upon where and when they're holing up, the victim (vampire's or carouche's) could be sliced up like steak and treated with coarse salt to bring the blood out from the tissues. Once again, it'd probably affect the taste considerably... Hmm... I wonder then if blood marrow might be a particularly rare vampire treat?... Brenda F.

I surmize that they don't feel the cold as we do because their own body temperature is much lower, but when the temperature falls well below even the vampire norm then they will feel a chill.

Those bags don't break, they can handle the expansion and contraction of fluids during various liquid and frozen stages, they can even handle a small degree of fluid vaporization in them (think "Boil-in-Bag" style frozen-food products).
