Why does Dracula need a Uruguayan steak sandwich?

("The name is a nod to two researchers who helped discover it, who hail from Transylvania and Uruguay—there, the chivito sandwich is the national dish.")

Terrible name. Looks exactly like the logo for secular humanism or an angel though

It also looks like a chivito sandwich, which makes it a great name!

What is the logo for secular humanism?

I'm more concerned with why the logo for secular humanism should look like an angel though!? This seems like a major branding mistake for secular humanism!

The spiky H with head logo?

Reminds me more of "make all the things" meme then an angel.

hey, I'm just following the complaint of the granddad post to mine.

I'm thinking national pride might have something to do with it:

I'm from Uruguay, when I saw the title, I immediately knew that a fellow Uruguayan had to be involved.

Cheers to all the team for the discovery!

Fascinating the contribution of Uruguay to astronomy!

So gas planets are not necessarily formed by accreation disks?
