Vampire hunting kits from the Victorian era

This has got to be the coolest thing I've ever found. For all you Buffy the Vampire slayer fans out there, this is an authentic Victorian era vampire hunting kit. They actually sold these kits to gullible people between 1850-1900. It comes with everything needed to kill your very own vampire. Garlic, holy water, ivory cross, mirror, gun with silver bullets, and a wooden stake.

Chocolate for your blood pressure?

Researchers at the University Hospital of Cologne, Germany have found that cocoa products can reduce blood pressure almost as much as the commonly prescribed drugs for that purpose. It seems that cocoa contains chemicals know as polyphenols. Polyphenols are known to help prevent cardiovascular disease and lower blood pressure. Polyphenols are present in many vegetables and in tea, but it seems that a particular type that is present in cocoa is more active than other types.
Chocolate itself, due to the high sugar and fat content is still bad for you, but the cocoa in it might help you with your blood pressure. So the next time you feel guilty about eating chocolate, you can claim it's for your heart.
