Oh that's right, today's Earth Day

There ought to be a Mars Day. A few people at school suggested a Moon Day, but that's just stupid, IMO. Who cares about the moon?

(And don't say that every Monday is Moon Day! (Or that every Tuesday is Mars Day, especially since in English it's named after Tyr and not Mars anyway. Plus I'd say there's a significant difference between Mars the god and Mars the planet.) I mean, I suppose it is, but nobody celebrates it.)

Well I'd hardly consider them Lesser. I mean, at least they don't have stupid weaknesses like silver or stakes or religious symbols or garlic or fire...

Making fun of the disabilities of others isn't a very noble or attractive trait, you know. And if John Kerry gets elected and signs the Undead With Vulnerabilities Act, it might very well become a federal crime.

And, hey, when it comes to vulnerabilities, I would rather take my chances as some sort of vampire than as a skeleton. Have you ever seen a movie where the skeletons withstood more than a whack or two with the sword/mace/pointed stick? I think even the French are more resilient on combat...

Hey, when it comes to *resilience*, the skeletons are great. They may go to pieces after only a few whacks, but do you know any other undead species that can *survive* going to pieces and reassemble itself? Skeletons are practially immortal! Well if they weren't undead they would be. Imremortal, perhaps?

But... but... if they weren't undead they'd be, you know, a pile of bones. Which, I suppose, makes them technically imremortal, but still.

No, I mean *when* undead, they're practically immortal (or imremortal). <enthusiastically> 'Cause they can reassemble themselves, see. </enthusiastically>
