They don't tend to get laid very often though.

They couldn't survive a supernova. They couldn't survive going to the club and using the toilet, only to walk back onto the dance floor with an entire roll of paper stuck to the bottom of their platform shoes. The other insects would say nothing at first, allowing the poor cockroach raver to gyrate around the floor like nothing was wrong. But then he would trip over the paper and the club would erupt into great shouts of laughter. He would never be able to show his face there again. And you know what? Alyssa Robinson, the hottest cockroach on the whole drill team and the object of your secret crush for three semesters was there!

Well, in that case, I'm even hardier than a cockroach.
Psst! According to my encyclopedia, Liam, cockroaches mate every 25 days or so. That's not too bad, but it's still a little less often than me on average right now.

Maybe so, but I can't imagine it's very satisying sleeping with a cockroach.
So, who's worse off? Poor Sol failing to get off with Alyssa? Or me, for not having sex every 25 days. I think, with all honesty, I deserve the pity.
(Although if Sol was wearing platform shoes, he deserved it, frankly. Unless "Night fever" came on, in which case, he should have been a shoo in.)

I must report that that anecdote was not at all related to the love roller coaster that is my life. For instance, I have never been in a club, much less one populated by oversized anthropomorphic cockroaches. I went to a school dance when I was in eighth grade once, and I blew a chance to dance with a hot German girl several years later. That's about it.
Though I did see the object of my unhealthy fascination at the party featuring the German, and she was wearing a tiny bikini. The fascinating object (Or in this case, objects), that is, not the German. Who is now happily back in Germany, writing flowery letters to a friend of mine and asking about me. Though sadly, most of the flower is directed towards the friend.

Actually, Psy's sig just got me thinking: before the Crucifixion, the crucufix wasn't a holy symbol, right? So I wonder how that worked? Did it all of a sudden turn holy, so all the vampires were like, "yow, fuck!" or did they spend a century or two being afraid of fishes?

For that matter, why are Jewish vampires afraid of crosses (cf Willow in "Dopplegangerlan")? Shouldn't they be afriad of, er, burning bushes or something?

Well, if we go vy the Vampire: The Masquerade RPG understanding, then holy symbols are only effective against vampires if the person holding them has true faith in their power, regardless of the symbol or the faith, or the faith of the vampire.
Interestingly enough, this means that a true diehard trekkie could conceivably hold off a vampire with the Enterprise Arrowhead symbol.
I don't know WHAT an Atheist or Agnostic could use, though. A copy of "Origin of Species?" A plastic model of the human brain?

Well, an atheist, having rejected religion, should probably reject superstition as well, and the vampire would be forced back by the atheist's disbelief in its existance.
