Serenade (Dover song)

"Serenade" is a song by the Spanish rock band Dover. Written by Cristina Llanos, the track was released in 1997 as the first single from the band's second studio album, Devil Came to Me (1997). This song was the first single that also became his first number one because of its rhythms and catchy chorus. It is the most chanted song in their concerts, making it an anthem for this group.

Curiosities

The singer, guitarist and composer of the theme, Cristina Llanos, admits it's the most personal song she ever wrote. She is usually very shy and reserved and wanted to talk about it in this song, "asking" help to stop being so.

Santino (chimpanzee)

Santino (born April 20, 1978) is a male chimpanzee held at Furuvik zoo in Sweden. In March 2009 it was reported that Santino had planned hundreds of stone-throwing attacks on visitors to the zoo.

Biography

Zookeepers noticed, after observing Santino behind blind glass, that the chimp had been busy stockpiling ammunition in anticipation of the visitors, dragging stones from a protective moat and even thumping chunks of concrete into rough discs. He made the piles of stones only on the part of his island facing the crowds. Dr. Mathias Osvath, a cognitive zoologist from Lund University, together with Elin Karvonen, studied the phenomena, and their studies suggests that Santinos behaviour shows that forward planning and premeditated deception isn't a uniquely human trait.

To control his behavior, and keep his hormone levels down, zookeepers castrated Santino. Since then, Santino has been observed to be more playful and is growing a "Buddha belly".

Media coverage

On the 19th of March 2009, Santino and his attacks were mentioned as a part of "when animals attack our morals", on The Colbert Report, which brought to light the poor understanding that exists between man and his ancestral cousin. Also discussed was how these incidents are not limited to "animals" alone, but humans in general.

List of The Vampire Chronicles characters

The following is a list of characters from Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles, which began with the 1976 novel Interview with the Vampire. The series primarily follows the antihero Lestat de Lioncourt, a French nobleman turned into a vampire in the 18th century, and by extension the many humans and vampires whose lives he has touched in his own long existence. Rice also explores the origins of vampires far more ancient than the so-called "brat prince" Lestat.

Rice said in a 2008 interview that her vampires were a "metaphor for lost souls". The homoerotic overtones of The Vampire Chronicles are also well-documented. As of November 2008, The Vampire Chronicles had sold 80 million copies worldwide.
