Looks posed, like any state university glossy that highschool juniors get in the mail.

I'm not sure who Radu the Handsome is, I'm sorry to say. I chose it because it's the name of my favorite vampire (I love vampire stories and movies).

He was Vlad the Impaler's little brother who was "converted" into a Turk after he and Vlad were captured. Vlad escaped and made his way back to Romania while Radu stayed and was later sent to Romania to overthrow Vlad when he was not bowing to his Ottoman invaders. Here is a brief history. Would the favorite vampire name come from Bram Stoker?

To add to many folks' confusion, Radu is a masculine name....and I'm a female. LOL! It's a loooong story.

C'mon, FReepmail me. I've got time and I am curious.

I thought Radu the Handsome might be Vlad's younger brother but hadn't heard this particular reference to him. Thanx for the link.

No, the name wasn't from Bram Stoker's story. It was the name of a vampire in a series of movies that were never in theatres...went straight to video.

Freemail is on the way. :-)

First, "sticks and stones"...

second, I was not denying the deaths, I just think the kid was moved...

if, as you suggest the child was sitting on the top step...

loss of consciousness leans forward not back...

I think you let your emotions get the better of you!

Consider "Matthew Brady" and the Civil War!!

I apologize for the name calling. Yes, loss of conciousness results in leaning forward which is caused by muscles going limp. Nerve gas makes the muscles contract violently. It is very possible for someone affected by nerve agents to bend over backwards in a cruel contortion before death.
