Telescopic Confusion: Aliens With Optical Delusions

Telescopic Confusion: Aliens With Optical Delusions
The ultimate astronomical misunderstanding! One alien is peering through a telescope at what appears to be Dracula's castle and warns against abducting the "vampire" they see. Meanwhile, the alien operating the camera is utterly confused because they can't see anyone—because telescopes and cameras don't work the same way! It's basically the extraterrestrial version of trying to take a picture of the moon with your smartphone and ending up with what looks like a distant streetlight. Those aliens clearly skipped the "Optics 101" class at Space College.

Vampire-Powered Piston Engine

Vampire-Powered Piston Engine
Finally, a renewable energy solution with real bite ! The vampire-powered piston engine represents the perfect marriage of mythological exploitation and thermodynamic principles. Spray holy water, vampire turns to dust (compression stroke), inject blood, vampire regenerates (power stroke). It's essentially a biological Stirling engine with fangs. The beauty is in the details—"piston knock" caused by unmatched vampire regeneration rates is a legitimate engineering concern. And the claim that vampires are "universally available" might be the most optimistic assumption in renewable energy research I've encountered in my 40 years of teaching. Who needs solar panels when you've got the undead? Just don't tell the ethics committee about your fuel source.
