I wonder who came up with the idea of vampires being harmed by sunlight. The modern, western style vampires were invented by Bram Stoker, except in his book Dracula had no problem being out in the sunlight. He was just more powerful at night.
I think it was on a discussion about this picture last time that I got into an argument with someone who thought the vitamin D thing was actually part of the original myth.
I just thought it was funny because not only is it a medieval myth, but even Bram Stoker's Dracula predates the discovery of vitamin D by twenty years. And its connection to sunlight by twice that.
