Think globally, act locally
Today in history: The Manson cult kills Sharon Tate in an effort to set off "Helter Skelter", a global revolution (we think).
Are you having some differences with your soon-to-be ex-husband over assets and custody? Do you teach biochemistry? Why not recruit a former student to help you stun-gun your husband, put him in a barrel, and pour acid on him?
Stupefaction hasn't quite made up its mind on the following stories: was Perry Monroe a serial killer in training, or just out for some casual dismemberment? Also, is the son of a politician in South Africa an innocent bystander, or has his sociopathic behavior been part of a long-standing series of political cover-ups?
Is the man accused of being Canada's worst serial killer also a fan of Brick Top in the film Snatch? Canadian police search his pig farm to find out.
Stupefaction's unscientific study shows that women survive suicide pacts more often than men. Cases in point - these two Japanese teenagers attempted to fling themselves to their death, but the boy died and the girl lived. In India, this couple doused themselves with kerosene and lit themselves on fire, yet the wife managed to survive (barely).
And your biohazard fact for the day: In Texas, when you find a house full of dead cats, it's easier just to demolish it than to try to clean it up.
