Buzzfeed quiz - how much do you know about serial killers?!

[CoverMeCagney]

Well, I did woefully badly on this, 4/10, but then most of these cases were before my sleuthing days!

Are you serious about serial killers?

Don't kick your self on your score.

Only reason I did better: had waaaay more sleuthing days. Actually several decades of armchair sleuthing.

Helps to be, say, 60 -70 y/o, so stick around & 20 (30? 40?) yrs from now, take new Serial Killer quiz . You'll nail it. Yay for you.

Humorous article More Evidence Ted Cruz Might Be the Zodiac Killer

Then there this: A recent PPP poll actually showed that 38% of Florida voters thought that it was possible that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac. And if I've learned anything in life, it's that if 38% of Floridians think something, it's probably worth considering.

SophieRose - Thanks for adding the ref & link re PPP poll.

I know we should not doubt anything about your post, not even for a nano-second.

"... the company has polled the public on topics such as the approval rating of God,[SUP][6][/SUP] whether Republican voters believe President Obama would be eligible to enter heaven in the event of the Rapture,[SUP][7][/SUP] .... and whether Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer'

Haha, it's good I think, considering where we are!!

There were a few other interesting articles on there if you search for serial killers or true crime. Some are actually very well written and have good pics / graphics etc. Here are a few I browsed through:

25 Cromwell Street is right up there as one of the most notorious address in England, certainly in my memory anyway *shudders*

Loving the comments at the bottom, they're getting right into it, perhaps we should invite them over here!

Dr. Harold Shipman

Oh yes, Dr Shipman, killed at least 218 old people by euthanising them in his capacity as a friendly local doctor.

It was terrible what he did, but (and don't shout at me) having recently watched my 94 year old gran fade and die after years of languishing in a care home suffering from various dementias and heart problems, weighing only 5 stone at the end and wearing a nappy, I kinda wish someone could have legally "helped" her to a more dignified end.

That said, and while I am definitely pro-euthanasia, Shipman took it way too far and bumped off a lot of people who weren't ready to go.

Oh boy, 10/10. It's a morbid fascination and complete inability to comprehend the behaviors that leads me to investiget them. Heck, it might even help me out if I were, God forbid I ever encounter such evil myself.
