| | $90 shipping? Jeez, does lead kill vampires or something? Still it's pretty cool looking and would be neat to have. I'm not going to drop over $1000 on it, though... | |

| Very nice looking kit.
IMO its a fake but
I like the red serum, blue serum and secret potion contained in. I think I`ll take the red pill now. | |

wait a minute.... are you implying that vampires aren't real.
blasphamy I say, how dare you impune my beliefs. [:p]
It's an interesting curiousity, I wouldn't mind having it for display but not at 1100 dollars, maybe $30 or $40. | | | |

| | I've seen this kit in the news before, several years before if my memory serves me. This would also be the second time I've seen it listed on e-bay. Some guy must be churning these out somwhere, either that or he's got alot of them lying around from would-be hunters. [}:)] | |
Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror. | |

| | This is one of those items that make you wonder, "who would buy this?" While it's interesting (if for no other reason than its "accuracy" on vampires) it's rediculous to spend thousands of dollars on something so absurd. This belongs on G4's "It came from eBay!" like the "authentic" Jesus signature. | |

| A shop I pass on way to work is one of those New Ageism places where they will speak you future (now with a mandorty warning stating it may not be actual future) and crystal aura cleasning stuff.
But they have a new service that boggles my mind.
Unicorn health readings.
Do they use a unicorn to read your health or are you meant to bring your own in? Should I take my little pony in... | |
