There's a vampire child (of about six years)whowhich does not age in Anne Rice's vampire mythos (played by Kirstin Dunst in the movie version, IIRC).
I overheard somebody two rows over, here - she's a big Twilight fan - discussing whether if a baby got vampirized, would they stay a baby or would they grow like a mortal. Vampire babies - that's a pretty creepy thought.
Baron, I am curious is this person a movie-fan or book fan?
Because in the final book of the Twilight series they address this very question.
{more than you want to know follows....}
Apparently in their universe, there was once a fad among vampires to create young vampires, which were referred to as "immortal children". They were often babies or young toddlers, turned and frozen in age. They were beautiful and extremely deadly because they had worse impulse control than your average hungry vampire. The Vampire ruling coven (in the Twilight books: The Voluturi), banned them, and destroyed them all and those who had created them.
This is a huge plot issue in Breaking Dawn, due to a big misunderstanding and the confusion over a half-vampire hybrid child: (Has heartbeat, higher than human temps (not cold like vampires), breathes...grows (very fast), but does have a taste for blood, but can also survive on human food, and was born not turned...and also doesn't have venom (so no ability to turn others into Vampires or half-vampires...etc). and the long banned Immortal Children.
{ And that is all the useless knowledge I have to share for now...}

Oh! Some station has been rerunning episodes of Angel on TV and I found out last night that Tracy's been recording them. I consulted an online episode quide today, and if she's picked 'em up from the beginning I may start a "Jeff Watches Angel" thread much sooner than anticipated.

TNT airs Angel Monday-Friday, and they just started back at season one...yesterday, actually. So if that's what she's been recording, you should be all set. :)
(Of course remember, those episodes are going to be edited for syndication, and so have probably 30 seconds to a minute (or more) less footage to allow for more commercials.)

I think it's closer closer to four minutes isn't it? I seem to recall reading an article a few years ago stating that when shows go into syndication, they lose about two minutes per half hour.
