Can vampires die without use of garlic, crucifixes, or wooden stakes?

http://www.zerotime.com/night/destroy.htm Apparently, silver bullets and fire also work, as well as beheading. This site claims that sunlight is a myth, and that in medieval times, vampires walked amongst everyone else in the daytime. Jun 11 06, 5:03 PM

Apparently, you need to first determine the ethnic origin of the Vampire in question. Next...locate Vampire and administer according to the following: Sampiro - Albania - Stake through heart Nachtzehrer - Bavaria - Place coin in mouth, decapitate with ax Ogoljen - Bohemia - Bury at crossroads Krvoijac - Bulgaria - Chain to grave with wild roses Kathakano - Crete - Boil head in vinegar Brukalaco - Greece - Cut off and burn head Vampir - Hungary - Stake through heart, nail through temples Dearg-dul - Ireland - Pile stones on grave Vryolakas - Macedonia - Pour boiling oil on, drive nail through navel Upier - Poland - Bury face downwards Gierach - Prussia - Put poppy seeds in grave Strigoiul - Rumania - Remove heart, cut in two; garlic in mouth, nail in head Vlkoslak - Serbia - Cut off toes, drive nail through neck Neuntoter - Saxony - Lemon in mouth Vampiro - Spain - No known remedy http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_039.html Jun 11 06, 5:45 PM

The Spanish just have to put up with them? That explains a lot. Such as Antonio Banderas. In Gary Sosnowski's mildly amusing recent novel "Vamped," garlic, crucifixes, and all other traditional vampire-fighters' impedimenta are useless, but vampires weary of eternal life (and an eternal diet of blood) can commit suicide by crashing their cars and going up in flames: http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue381/books2.html Jun 11 06, 6:13 PM

How do you make a wooden house without nails? Two wooden pails, without lids, containing hot and cold water are set out in freezing weather. Which pail will begin to freeze first? Where are the Sussex Stakes run? In the 1700s many sailors tattooed crucifixes on their backs, why?

In fact, some recipes are based wholly on this tiny vegetable.
