since he counted
Old folklore from Eastern Europe suggests that many vampires suffered from a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, being fascinated with counting. Millet or poppy seeds were placed on the ground at the gravesite of a presumed vampire, in order to keep the vampire occupied all night counting. Chinese myths about vampires also state that if a vampire comes across a sack of rice, s/he will have to count all of the grains. Aside from the Muppet character of Count von Count on television's Sesame Street, this characteristic seems to have largely disappeared from popular culture.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – Lessing

I just read that when the Count finishes counting there are no longer lightning flashes and he doesn't go "AH HA HA HA" any more. They thought it scared young children.
This is a ****ing travesty.
Before Sesame Street started, they were afraid that Muppet monsters would scare children too. Good thing they were wrong about that."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)
