- Hmmm. Just rip it out? Never saw the movie, but sounds pretty damned
- inneficient to me. Waste an awful lot of the blood. Most creatures that feed
- strictly on blood seem to have some way of controlling the blood flow.

- I am curious as to where this hollow fang idea comes from. I've never heard of
- it off the net. Anybody know the original source myth, or is it another of
- these modern innovations?
