Welcome to Gaia! ::

Most of you, hopefully all of you, know the Chupacabra. Literally it translates to 'Goat Sucker' or 'Suck Goat' from the verb chupar (to suck) and the noun la cabra (goat).

This creature roams Central America sucking the blood from goats and other livestock (leaving two puncture wounds) or even going for specific organs, sometimes leaving the corpses lined up in rows, according to some reports. The Chupacabra has never been caught or seen until recently. A corpse said to be the Chupacabra had more the appearance of a demonic canine and some DNA reports have come back as wolf DNA.

These are some of the characteristics of the mythical goatsucker. Today in art class, the resident diehard Twitard brought up Twilight and how she loved New Moon. The rest of us at the two tables near her all agreed that Twilight needs to die and that we love Top Gear.

Eventually the conversation spread to how vampires in the folklore of all cultures all share some of the same characteristics and that you just can't call a Kangaroo a Unicorn and get away with it, poetic license lets you be wrong with authority (this is what lead to us discussing the Chupacabra stories). And then suddenly we hear the Twitard comparing the Twilight vampires to the Chupacabra, because if it was a wolf drinking blood, it HAD to be Renesmee's and Jacob's child.

So a little bit of me died this morning, as I truly thought the conversation would put a little sense into the Twitard's head. She then proceeded to say how she couldn't stand that everyone who hated Twilight only hated it because people liked it. To which I pointed out there are valid reasons to hate it, for which she gave my the dirtiest look I have ever seen.

Discuss

•The Chupacabra finally being put in the same sentence as Twilight.

•Twitards completely ignoring the valid reasons being discussed around them.

•How unorganized my sentence structure is.

Oy, I take offense.

No, she absolutely refuses to listen to anyone actually, she's already publicly proclaimed herself an expert on vampires. I found it quite funny at the time and snickered in my seat next to her.

seeeexy. XD srsly only a twilight fan could make something as nasty a** as the chupacabra and turn it into something sexy and beautiful. XD

Sorry. I got in a bad argument with my religion teacher yesterday. sweatdrop It was on racism. She would not give up even though I had some good points.

I just hope I don't see any new fanfictions pop up involving the Chupacabra as the demon spawn's own demon spawn.

And today the one I'm dealing with is so thick headed that after I told her how much I hated Twilight she still thought I was a fan. "Yeah, the movie was bad, wasn't it? But don't you just love the story?"

...she has the IQ of a fish (no offense to any fish out there.)

Speaking of Chupacabras, did you hear about this story?

SAN LUIS, Colo. (AP) - A creepy string of calf mutilations in southern Colorado has a rancher and sheriff's officials mystified.

Four calves were found dead in a pasture just north of the New Mexico state line in recent weeks. The dead calves had their skins peeled back and organs cleared from the rib cage. One calf had its tongue removed.

But rancher Manuel Sanchez has found no signs of human attackers, such as footprints or ATV tracks. And there are no signs of an animal attack by a coyote or mountain lion. Usually predators leave pools of blood or drag marks from carrying away the livestock.

Two officers from the Costilla County Sheriff's Office have investigated the mutilations but say they don't know what's killing the calves.

"There's nothing really to go by," said Sanchez, who's ranched for nearly 50 years. "I can't figure it out."

A spokesman for the sheriff's office told The Pueblo Chieftain that investigators doubt a person butchered the calves because there is no blood at the scene.

"I've butchered a cow before and I know what kind of a mess it leaves," Sgt. James Chavez said.

Some in the area believe the mutilations are the work of aliens. An area UFO chaser, Chuck Zukowski of Colorado Springs, has been to the Costilla County pasture to investigate.

He told the paper there have been other unexplained calf mutilations in the area, including three in March. One of the other calves, found dead on a ranch near Trinidad, had its ears removed, Zukowski said.

"We're trying as much as we can to find a pattern," said Zukowski, who runs a UFO Web site called ufonut.com.

Sanchez said he has sold off his 32 remaining calves out of fear more would be mutilated. He hasn't decided how he'll manage the remaining 40 animals in his herd.

"It's a big loss for a small rancher," he said.

I thought you might enjoy that. Sorry it's a bit off topic....
