        Dracula was invented by 'Bram Stoker' who was from Dublin, Ireland. A place not far from my home called 'FairView', his house was originailly over-looking Dublin bay, but the land there has since been reclaimed. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"

                    There's a program on C5 (UK) about the worlds most evil people, and I think Vlad is on it next week. The article also mentioned Bram Stoker, so I thought they were related. Paresh Solanki Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.

                              That is correct, Dracula was based on Vlad Tepes. I think Vlad is an Rumanian nobility title, while Tepes is Hungarian meaning 'impaler'. Curiously, Vlad Tepes father was called Vlad Dracul due to his cruelty. That seem to have been a common trait among rulers of that region... /moliate
