RE: Vampires: The Beginning of a Myth & its Scientifical Explanation
Well...that was an awesome post! I've read about Vlad the Impaler, but I wasn't aware he(they) were associated with Dracula. You mentioned that he would have dinner with the impaled?
....does this mean while they were impaled? Before they were impaled?
...or he pulled the long spear out and let them eat dinner? (whilst the chewed food obviously just fell through the person and out their "spear hole")
Lastly, apparently the "impalement" would take about 3-4 days to kill the victim. The pole or spear would slowly make its way through their body. The Vlad's may have had unresolved issues...
The details of the dinner (as I have read) are really vague. As you can imagine, these nicknames that rulers have were made according to their fame. So he earned "The Impaler" for been this (in)famous.
What I think is that he just liked to screw around with his enemies while he (and only he) had dinner. But yeah, these details are really awkward...
I respect earning a nickname. They call me "Lonnie...The Lounger". And I feel I've earned it.
