I've cheated death once again...

I stuck a knife into a toaster, several times and while it was on, but didn't get electrocuted. Does this mean I'm immortal, or just 'resistant to death'

'Resistance to Death
This in no way means immortality, a vampire can and will die, however although there is no proof, genetically it is possible for people to live far longer than they are now, and hence a vampire could have evolved to this stage and live to an older age than most others. Also due to the good immune system and better healing we are far more likely to survive damage that should be fatal, again im not saying we will survive it, but whereas a normal human could have a 5% chance of living through an accident this would be 10% or 15% for the vampire. If there is a chance of survival from being shot or anything at all, then that chance merely increases for the vampire. '
