Actually, I read somewhere that staking the corpses to the ground wasn't so much to prevent them from becoming vampires as it was an attempt to actually pin them to the ground so they couldn't get up. Darkly amusing. At least there was *some* rationality behind the practice. Actually, the whole vampire thing was completely rational, based on the knowledge at the time.
