" NEW YORK (AP) -- A peacock that roamed into the parking lot of a
Burger King in New York City was beaten by a man who insisted it was a
vampire."

"A restaurant worker says the man grabbed the bird by the neck, hurled
it to the ground and started stomping it. She says when he was asked
what he was doing, he responded, "'I'm killing a vampire!"'

Genius.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow
words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways
to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
