Minor historical correection: he was -- especially at the time he practiced mass impalements -- Vlad III of Wallachia, not Transsylvania; Bram Stoker fucked up historical details there. (He wasn't a Count, either.) But he was born in Transsylvania, at the time his father Vlad II Dracul was on exile there; and he fled to Transsylvania when he was overthrown in Wallachia (but there he was soon arrested, and soon taken away to be imprisoned in a castle 30 km from where I type this). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Of course, I could get out by claiming that I was talking about Bram Stoker's count :-P
