I greatly enjoyed your information about the Countess Bathory. Pardon my saying so, but wasn't she a freak?! Ewk. It still surprises me that people so stuff like that instead of doing productive things with their time. I read an account of her in a book about famous murderesses and their lifestories and such, and she's listed with some of the most notorious femmes in history (including Aileen Vuornos (sp?)).
