Ecology on the WB

Although I am not a Buffy viewer, and I don't think Amanda is either, I'm sure she will appreciate this analysis of the sustainability of Sunnydale's vampire population based on a few assumptions:

• Sunnydale's human population growth rate is 10% annually, which is at the high end for a budding California community.
• A vampire feeds every three days, and encounters about one hundred potential victims in the course of a day, meaning that 1 out of every 300 encounters involves a little refreshment.
• Buffy and her Slayerettes, busy little beavers that they are, annually stake about 1/3 of the vampires plaguing Sunnydale.
