Okay, been spending some time poking about Yahoo! answers, and have just found what I find to be the most fun section.
"Mythology and Folklore"
Where else would you be asked to give your opinion on if Australian zombies speak with an accent, if a mermaid would lay eggs or give live birth, and if an elf and a vampire had a kid together if it would be half elf and half vampire, or if the elf's immunity to disease would cancel out the vampirism. (OR something like that, anyway. I wasn't actually a D&D nerd, I just hung out with them
)I find it amusing that even though the section is called "mythology and folklore," and at least some of these people freely state in their questions that they know it requires a total suspension of disbelief, etc., there are still people who feel compelled to point out that, "There's no such thing as a mermaid, vampire, elf, etc."
I know that. You know that. (Well, if you are above the age of five, I certainly hope you know that.) It doesn't make these sort of questions any less fun to turn around and about in the 'ole brain pan though, does it?

Don't you go telling me that there aren't any such thing as unicorns, or I'll have to tell the invisible pink unicorns that live on the moon that you are speaking blasphemy. Your letter is: H
