Don't bother.

I don't think this will happen. Why it would be a certain challenge (and result in some fun), I don't have the time for that at the moment.

I don't think so. But I'm not well versed in the technical terms of microbiology. 🙁

1.
It's a great school, and apart from the Michigan winters, I am sincerely grateful to be going here with little expense. I think I am very fortunate, and I want to successful academically, especially after I had a very tough last year, due to personal reasons.
It isn't easy here. Michigan has a great in-state acceptance rate that I benefited from, but some of the coursework here definitely rivals or is on par with the expensive private schools and Ivy Leagues.
I can't lie that some of the tasteless insults thrown out by my more immature peers towards Michigan State or Ohio State have a measure of truth with regards to educational quality.
And Ann Arbor is a wonderful college town. I'm glad to have grown up here. The Big House is a frickin colosseum, and I bet you won't find a more passionate atmosphere than being inside the stadium during a football game.
2. And as for names, my real name is nothing close to Prodigal Knight, General Kenobi, or Vos.
I have the stereotypical huge@ss Indian last name. My full name, I believe, is on my passport 22 letters long, but is actually 28.
Let us just say if you want to address me by my name, my real initials spell out BNGK 😂

You all really need to watch Count Dracula with Louis Jourdan. He's probably my favorite Count.rUJ1vaCbnOo&feature=related
Mentioning that in the virtual home of Christopher "Count" (Dracula/Dooku) Lee has to be seen as heresy. Since Terrorist Dooku introduced us to the laws of the Sharia, this is an offense punishable by death.
Does somebody need some nicely formed rocks and stones for the upcoming lapidation?

The Hammer films are good, cheesy fun, but Lee's Dracula is far too animalistic for my liking.
To be honest, I don't really like watching horror themed movies, because most of them just aim for effects, that are usually predictable. That aside, my significant other would usually force me to reply, that the only true incarnation of the Count is Gary Oldman in "Bram Stroker's Dracula" (1992), which still happens to be one of her favorite movies.
😕
Bram Stoker's Dracula was a great film and was the best one in terms of making Dracula appear to be more than just a mere vampire. I think most of us are used to the more commercial undead, with their standard abilities and weaknesses.
Coppola's film reintroduces the element of the Count that was present in the novel. Dracula is a Vampire, one of the Un-dead, and that is to say that he is a veritable force of nature. He's a phenomenon whose abilities transcend mere physical strength. He's capable of manipulating the weather, defying gravity, influencing the minds of others (human and animal alike), shapeshifting (which includes into mist), etc. He's a sorcerer and a demon as much as the standard 'vampire' and its implied that all of these abilities stem from his status as the undead.
That's what made Gary Oldman's take on it so cool. The only problems were the unnecessary love story and the casting of Wynona Rider and Keanu Reaves.

I don't know why I lol'ed there 😕
Haha, I think Bangkok would be a bit silly of a name.
B.N. are my first name initials, the G isn't on my US records, and K is my last name. On paper and most places I go, I initial N.K. My signature is a twisted combination of an N and K.
So...NK could work. Or something along that.
