How many different cultures does the myth of vampires exist in?
It is said that every religion on earth is somehow connected to the vampire or something closely related to the idea of it. The idea of blood suckers has been around for centuries and can be traced back over 3000 years.
I've never in all my life come across a culture which doesn't mention vampires in some form (and I've lived a long while).
They can be traced back as feeding entities or the more famous blood type, beyond 3000 years. (1000BC? please!)
You just need to know where to look. Isolated caves are good, drawings in the darker ones are most apparently vampiric in nature. As are mountain-topping ancient cities (I refer of course to those in South America and Mexico specifically).
There may be written references but chances are these are long gone. I haven't cared to look for what probably doesn't exist. And anyway, meaning is always lost in translation.
Should people be forced to marry against their will?
There are those countries whose culture and religious doctrine adhere to arranged marriages, a few of those now offer legal recourse for person's who choose not to do such. In the U.S. no person can be forced to marry someone not of their choosing, or indeed marry at all, regardless of the family's cultural or religious background.

Hon is an abbreviation for "Honorable", a title given to men with political office but not necessarily any other formal title.
Hon. Is an abbreviation for Honourable or The Honourable. There are a number of different meaning for the "Hon" abbreviation. The above, being a title given to American politicians, judges and ambassadors is one.
In the UK, Honourable is a title given to the the children of certain Peers, the Children of a Life Peer or an herediary Baron will all be entitled to style themselves The Honourable XYZ, or in short "Hon. XYZ". For higher peerages, Viscounts, Earls, the younger children will be styled Honourable as the eldest male child will be given, in most cases, a coutesy title belonging to the peerage. For example, the eldest son of an Earl is most usually a Viscount, however the Earls younger Children will usually be Honourable.
The Honourable title is only ever used in writinig, it is never used verbally. So you would never call someone "Honourable David or Honourable Spencer", if a formal introduction is being given you may say "May I introduce The Honourable David Spencer", however you would verbally address him as Mr Spencer.
British politicians are usually styled The Honourable Member, but are not entitled to use honourable outside of the House of Commons. Members of the Privy Council are entitle to be styled The Right Honourable as are all Peers. This is abbreviated as "The Rt Hon." or simply "Rt Hon".
How do you get a vampire egg in dragcave?
Vampire Dragon eggs are impossible to get, unless you get an egg from one who already has one. Unlike most other dragons, Vampire Dragons need to use their "Bite" BSA to make a Vampire Egg. It has a 50% chance of succeeding; 25% of the time it succeeds, but the egg is immediatelyabandoned. (Note that this is the only way to get one now except if you organize a successful trade with somebody who has a Vampire dragon) The last 25% of the time, the BSA fails and the egg will die.

How can you stay awake in school?
- Get enough sleep the night before - kids and teens need ten to twelve hours of sleep every night (most of them do not get enough)
- If you start feeling sleepy, take some deep breaths and get a good rush of oxygen to your brain (this is why you yawn)
- Between classes, stretch and get some exercise - run up and down the stairs or do jumping jacks or other exercises before you sit down
- Cut back on the junk food and sugar and sodas (also "energy drinks") because the energy they give you only lasts a few minutes, and then you feel even more tired than before!
- Caffeine works IF you drink small amounts at one time (eight-ounces, or 250 ml portion) and drink several cups over a few hours - coffee and tea are best because they don't have as much sugar as sodas!
- In extreme cases, ask your teacher (politely) if you can walk around the room a little bit so you will wake up - don't do this more than once or twice or they will think you're just trying to get out of working
- sit at the front
- listen hard to what the teacher is saying
- Try to ask and answer questions so you'll be more alert.
Here's how:
- Get enough sleep! Kids and teens need 10-12 hours of sleep every night in order to feel alert and smart in school.
- Eat the right foods! Stay away from junk food, because it gives you a "sugar rush" that will wear off after 15-20 minutes and then leave you feeling even more tired than before.
- Stay away from "energy drinks!" First, they wear off after 15-20 minutes and leave you more tired than before -- even the "Five Hour" drinks will "drop" you once they wear off. Second, they have massive amounts of sugar, which is bad for you. Third, they are very hard on the stomach -- I've seen kids who developed ulcers from drinking too many of those things (I work in a pharmacy).
- Exercise! Your body actually feels more alert right after you exercise than it does if you don't exercise at all -- this sounds backwards, but the body needs movement in order to function properly.
- Breathe! Taking deep breaths helps get more oxygen to the brain, and makes you feel more alert -- this is why we yawn.
- Drink a glass of water! I know, it sounds weird, but it does wake you up, especially if it's cold water.

Why do vampires live in castles?
Only two vampires that I know of lived in Castles. Count Dracula and Count Orlock. No other vampire that I know of lived in a castle. The two counts had their castles as part of their heritage.
And The Count from sesame street lives in one too! So that makes three!
In the book Vampire by Dunn-Mascetti, he claims that vampires live in castles to keep mystery about their character, and further isolate them from society.
