How to kill a vampire

According to folklore, how can one kill a vampire? Planning on traveling abroad and want to know what to do if you should encounter a vampire? Author Cecil Adams has assembled a reference list in his book "The Straight Dope." The bad news is you can't kill a vampire in Spain, he says. Those obsessive amounts of garlicky sausage in Madrid will only temporarily deter it. Other locations, in alphabetical order: -- In Bavaria, place coin in the vampire's mouth and then decapitate with axe. -- In Bohemia, bury the vampire at a crossroads. -- In Bulgaria, chain the vampire to a grave with wild roses. -- In Crete, boil the vampire's head in vinegar. -- In the rest of Greece, cut off the vampire's head and burn it. -- In Ireland, pile stones on the vampire's grave. -- In Macedonia, pour boiling oil on the vampire, then drive a nail through its navel. -- In Poland, bury a vampire face downwards. -- In Prussia, put poppy seeds in a vampire's grave. -- In Romania, remove the vampire's heart and cut it in two, then put garlic in its mouth and nails in its head. -- In Serbia, cut off the vampire's toes, and drive a nail through its neck. -- In Saxony, put a lemon in a vampire's mouth. (Those Saxony vampires are such wimps!)
