** On Discworld, what you believe comes true if you believe truly and honestly enough. That is literally the power behind all the gods. One believer, one person honestly believing that a god has helped him find a lost lamb is enough to start a religion. So, if you believe that an axe is a holy symbol, it is a holy symbol! Not to mention that other people watching want to believe, too. Why shouldn't exist a holy axe that cuts through evil (vampires)? They only had to see somebody swing it.

* The Old Count manages to shut up Lacrimosa, the Magpyr teenage daughter who has spent the whole book whining and whingeing, by snarling at her, frightening her so much that for the rest of the story she doesn’t speak a word. It's so damn satisfying to see her get her comeuppance.
