Hitler asked and SM answered!

I really must be a genius! OK so no I'm not, I just have been lucky when guessing some things about twilight.

For the past month or so (Well since Breaking Dawn came out really) Me and my friends have been trying to figure out a few things that never made sense to us from the book. Like the whole "What happened to Leah" Fiasco and Etc. Thankfully Stephenie Meyer (Now there's a genius!) posted on her website, Well it was her brother Seth (I love Seth! The book Seth though... But I guess she wrote him with her real life brother Seth in mind and based the character around him, so I like the real Seth too...), answers to the many questions we had. You can see them all here.

But the one question we thought was left unanswered was the question of "How does Edward (and all the boy vampires) get it up?" I was a question that has stumped me and many others for months. And just today I was reading through Steph's site (again really Seth's...) and I found the answer! It turns out I obviously couldn't read when I looked at the FAQ on steph's site last time...

This is her answer:

"Now, on to the "how is this possible?" question. First of all, of course it's not possible. None of this story is possible. It's a fantasy story about creatures that don't actually exist. Within the context of the fantasy, however, this is how it works:

Vampires are physically similar enough to their human origins to pass as humans under some circumstances (like cloudy days). There are many basic differences. They appear to have skin like ours, albeit very fair skin. The skin serves the same general purpose of protecting the body. However, the cells that make up their skin are not pliant like our cells, they are hard and reflective like crystal. A fluid similar to the venom in their mouths works as a lubricant between the cells, which makes movement possible (note: this fluid is very flammable). A fluid similar to the same venom lubricates their eyes so that their eyes can move easily in their sockets. (However, they don't produce tears because tears exist to protect the eye from damage, and nothing is going to be able to scratch a vampire's eye.) The lubricant-venom in the eyes and skin is not able to infect a human the way saliva-venom can. Similarly, throughout the vampire's body are many versions of venom-based fluids that retain a marked resemblance to the fluid that was replaced, and function in much the same way and toward the same purpose. Though there is no venom replacement that works precisely like blood, many of the functions of blood are carried on in some form. Also, the nervous system runs in a slightly different but heightened way. Some involuntary reactions, like breathing, continue (in that specific example because vampires use the scents in the air much more than we do, rather than out of a need for oxygen). Other involuntary reactions, like blinking, don't exist because there is no purpose for them. The normal reactions of arousal are still present in vampires, made possible by venom-related fluids that cause tissues to react similarly as they do to an influx of blood. Like with vampire skin—which looks similar to human skin and has the same basic function—fluids closely related to seminal fluids still exist in male vampires, which carry genetic information and are capable of bonding with a human ovum. This was not a known fact in the vampire world (outside of Joham's personal experimenting) before Nessie, because it's nearly impossible for a vampire to be that near a human and not kill her."

And well Im proud to say that I actually thought of that! No wait... Im not really proud to say that, I mean who thinks about mythical creatures having sex? What would my mother think?!...

OK I admit it, I am proud!

This whole fan girl thing is really getting to me... But at least now we know how 'Mr happy' became 'happy'
