Length of time an occupied coffin can survive in the North Sea before
Greenpeace try to save it.

The nutritional value of an insectivorous diet.

Why Americans can't do English accents....perhaps dissecting Keanu Reeves'
vocal cords which would then save us from any more excruciatingly bad films.

Side-effects of associating with vampires.....shop lifting!

Experimenting to discover what happens to the rest of you when you turn into
a bat - surely molecular logic must come into play somewhere.

The effect of evening wear on scantily-clad young ladies (I'm sure you'd get
lots of male volunteers for this one!)

I think more could be done with the Leslie Neilsen version ('Dracula - Dead
and Loving it!') than the original......

Does wearing black automatically deprive teenagers of the ability to smile
and communicate?
