VAMPIRE FACTS: When 1st vampire existed, would they still exist today?

Question

The first vampire arrived on January 1, 1660 when the human population was 536,870,911. Assuming the vampire fed once a month & the victim turned into a vampire, there would be 2 vampires and 536,870,910 on February 1. There would be 4 vampires on March 1st and 8 on April 1st. If this trend continued, all of the original humans would become vampires within two and a half years and the vampires' food source would disappear. Do not take ino consideration mortality rates, which would have increased the speed at which the human population would have been vanquished. And even factoring in a birth rate would not change the outcome. In the long run, humans cannot survive under these conditions, even if our population were doubling each month. And doubling is clearly way beyond the human capacity of reproduction. What's your take on all this? Do you agree or disagree?

Keep in mind, its Halloween!

Answer 1

I read the same article today and cannot disagree with the math.

Answer 2

I believe this was research done by a mathematician that had WAY too much time on his hands to figure this out. What he didn't consider, however, was the fact that maybe vampires had stock from previous victims, or took a month off to rest. This would allow human population to increase with birth rate/day, allowing for more fresh blood victims. All based on fictional characters anyway, but a good way to get a thesis paper written.

Answer 3

Are we excluding the idea of random attacks from vampires that do not result in death or conversion?

Also, the possibility of vampires being able to eat things other than blood for survival e.g. being able to dig into a nice pie, but needing blood on occasion for sustinaince or to be at full strength. Or, perhaps, the ability to feed on animal blood-forms? Can vampires feed on one-anothers blood without killing each other?

Edited to add: We are also not considering the possibility that vampires take a decade out to rest every now and again. This is of high probability. Also, are they immortal, and are there vampire hunters out there killing them? Because then we need to factor in a death rate for vampires, too!

Edited AGAIN to add that my mam just told me that she saw on the news this morning that one hundred thousand children go missing every year - vampire sustinance?

Answer 4

I don't think because a vampire bite a person that person necessarily becomes a vampire. In all of the text I have read, the vampire must want to make you a vampire.

Answer 5

I think by the end of that story everyone would be a vampire and all the animals would die from us drining them. Also we vamps would start to kill eachother for food. In the end the only thing on the earth will be plants and bugs.
The End.

Answer 6

I just watched a documentary on Dracula and weird thing was he didn't drink anyone's blood, he was a murderer. He loved to torture people so much, but he never drank blood or sucked anyone's blood. If there are vampires today, they just practice the ritual but they really are not vampires.

Answer 7

Honestly, if he did exist, I probably killed him. If you like, I could search my trophy collection for his skull. Still, since there's no money to be made in showing pictures of these things, I may take a while to get back to you.
