Yeah, Kipland is definitely an interesting one. At least you didn't say Jack or Zodiac. They are so overrated. Both very interesting stories, don't get me wrong, and I've done PLEANTY of reading on each, but that's like saying you like Ozzy, therefore you like Rock music.
Everybody likes Ozzy. Everyone know of Jack.
Nice choice.

And let us not forget the Colombine Shooters, which I believe the anniversary just came up.
Meet Florida! My wonderful homeland ;]

I'm a little more demented. I like the sicker stuff than just shooting. I believe you're right about the Columbine Shooting.
one of my favorites is The Vampire of Sacramento, he was a sick bastard, totally f'ed up in the head.
I had to take an IT proficiency test last week. It's one of those tests where they present you with a business scenario and you have to write several essays on how you would improve various aspects of the business, from an IT management approach. It would be similar to the MCATs, if you were going to become a doctor. It allows us to proceed/graduate from the course in the degree we've selected.
Anyway...it's supposed to be pretty effin' hard. They literally measure the margins on your paper toe make sure they are exactly 1 inch...and you can fail the test on just spelling and grammar, alone.
I usually do not get nervous for tests but this one made me nervous. Don't tell anyone, though, because I acted cool. pained
Just got my notification of "pass", via e-mail, last night.
It was a HUGE relief. I get out of two classes for passing it. Well...then there's also the whole "you can have your degree and graduate" aspect of it, too.

Well, I'll be going into applied mathematics for graduate school. I'll have to take the GRE and the GRE Math exam to get in. Then I'll have to take several qualifying exams by my 2nd or 3rd year. Maybe 4, I'm thinking.
