For the love of Vampires!

[misseturrini]

Has anyone any idea as to how old the oldest vampire is?
There are vampires that have existed in folklore for thousands of years and vampires have existed in media and popular culture for hundreds of years. Yet, have we ever truly considered that question?
Off topic here, how many people noticed the what the faint writing said in the box before you typed in it?
All I have in my head now is Richard Roxburgh playing Dracula when he says, "Oh don't be boring, everyone who says that dies!" From Van Helsing (dir. S. Sommers, 2004).
