Dracula cannot be killed by sunlight. At least in the Bram Stoker novel. He’s out and about during the day quite a bit. What sunlight does, is keep him from changing shapes. Same for garlic, crucifixes and holy water. He can’t stand them and they weaken him, but nothing in the text says they would be fatal. Silver isn’t even mentioned.

Those definitely aren't the highest scoring words in Scrabble. They may be the highest scoring using only the seven letters on one tray, but that's only possible on the first play of the game anyway.
Basically, this is the list of highest scoring first plays in Scrabble, which is very different from the actual list of highest scoring words in Scrabble.
Feel free to add to the lists. Especially the US wars.
Was about to say, the last list is outdated.
Isn't the war on Iran officially a "Special Military Operation", like the one in Afghanistan was?
As outdated as Trump's last diaper change.
As outdated as Epstein's Christmas Card List of Friends
As outdated as my patience for hope
&..
Way more outdated than Eva Tanguay
Idk about Dracula specifically, but beheading kills vampires in some canons, or at least in Buffy anyway.
Congress has to declare wars, last time that happened was WW2. The rest are all special operations.
Fun fact: The “Uncle John” who compiles these readers is acclaimed sci-fi writer John Scalzi
Which messed-up Scrabble board has two Z's in it so that you can spell 'quizzed' or 'jazzily'? You don't get the points if you use a blank...
The Banana Boat Song isn't about the bananas.
It's more about bananas than Lemon Song is about lemons though, that's fer sher
Lemon Song is still about fruit in a sense, but not any literal lemons.
I refuse to believe that all nine of those city names are more common than Springfield.
Seriously, Centerville?
Additionally, everyone knows there's three Salems: the witch trial one, the other one, and the cat.
Yeah, I was looking at that one. I think they're specifically looking at towns, not cities. I can't find anything that gives a concrete distinction between the two labels. It seems that the rules vary by region, and the designation is kind of arbitrary.
However, I did find a list of common city names in the US.
- Washington
- Springfield
- Franklin
- Greenville
- Bristol
- Clinton
- Fairview
- Salem
- Madison
- Georgetown
from the BRI files
What is it referring?
I'm moving to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches.
But does a list of all lists contain itself?
A list of all lists would contain itself. This is just a list of lists and doesn't purport to contain all other lists.
My wife's a dromomaniac.
She goes absolutely nuts for dromedaries?
Canadians claim the telephone too even though Alexander Graham Bell was British when he invented it in Canada.
That list of murican wars was too easy. It would be more fun if it was a list of wars started in the 21 century. Or against Asian countries. Need some kind of constraint to make it slightly hard.
The doc told me I was a number 6 triangle =(
Those are great books for snack reading, and there are a lot of them. My dad and his family would share those as Christmas gifts and I have a few.
