Frank Drake was a direct descendant of Count Dracula. However, his bloodline is based on one of Dracula's marriages before Dracula became a vampire. Throughout the generations, Frank's ancestors would eventually change their surname to Drake to remove themselves from the unwanted connotations of their ancestry

ooh ahh, so cool

the real Frank Drake was cooler - founded SETI and came up with the famous Drake equation (N = N* fp ne fl fi fc fL) which calculates the number of possible communicating civilizations in our galaxy.
