Answer #1

This is a popular phrase used by economists which tells that you can't get something for nothing. The detailed version of it says that unless you have the power of creation, there's nothing free in thin this world and you've to pay for everything one way or the other. This comment has been made earlier by many economists and surprisingly this theory holds true even today. It is all a part of corporate business strategies which create an illusion that people actually get something for free. However the underlying advantages of such things can drag the people towards itself which is something not to be left all in all.

Ok, let’s say there’s about 10 calories per ounce of human blood and let’s assume that vampires have the same daily caloric need as humans: 2,000 calories per day. This would mean that vampires would need about 200 ounces, or 12.50 pints, of human blood per day. This would require the vampire to fully exsanguinate about on 1.5 adult humans per day (night?)! Luckily for us mortals, it turns out that vampires need less than 2,000 calories per day (they...
