["Mr. Christopher McGlothlin, M.Ed." <sosentinel@adelphia.net>]

 From scifi.com:
>         A descendant of Vlad the Impaler--the historical Romanian 
> nobleman who was the model for Bram Stoker's Dracula--is campaigning to 
> secede his hometown from Germany and have it declared the "Kingdom of 
> Dracula," ABCnews.com reported. Ottomar Rudolphe Vlad Dracul Kretzulesco, 
> who styles himself "Count Dracula," has won the support of local 
> officials in Schenkendorf (population 1,200), outside Berlin, to secede 
> in a protest over high German taxes, the news site reported.
>         "We could change 'I want to suck your blood' to 'I come to 
> collect your tax arrears,'" Kretzulesco told ABCnews. "In the Kingdom of 
> Dracula, you'll find that tax collecting is much less of a pain in the 
> neck. I want a maximum tax of no more than 20 percent."
>         Kretzulesco is a 61-year-old retired banker and antiques dealer 
> who is famous for turning his home into a beer garden and vampire museum, 
> the site reported.
