Happy Halloween!

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?" Bobby "Boris" Pickett, Monster MashIt's the night of goblins, witches, ghosts and ghouls, black cats, pumpkins and bags of candy. It's Halloween, much to the chagrin of dentists everywhere.
And if you can't visit Romania, home of Dracula, to pay homage to this tradition, you could at least find your way to Lexington, Kentucky, where you'll discover Transylvania University. Transy, as it's known to insiders, is—despite its "university" tag—a liberal arts college, enrolling some 1,100 students. And while it's old (founded in 1780), it's not quite as old as the "Old World" from which Dracula and his buddies sprang.
But give Transy credit. At least it has a sense of humor about its name.
Happy Halloween, everyone.
