This story's got something for everyone: a porn star, an insider trading scandal and Martha Stewart (well, sort of on that last one).

Have they got the guy(s)? It would seem so, wouldn't it? And if this is the guy, then it's probably safe to say that he is not simply a "psycho serial killer" but a terrorist in his own right. And what is his motivation in turning himself in? (the article implies that the sniper himself was the tipster who pointed police to the liquor store robbery in Montgomery, AL) Did he want to be stopped? Or was he frustrated that the police hadn't caught him, thereby providing him the attention and credit he craves (as most terrorists do)? Maybe he can be categorized as a "psycho serial terrorist killer".

Of course, as of this writing the men haven't been charged with anything so this is all pure speculation. But boy do I hope they got their guy.

Separated at Birth?

Faith, honey, Britney's supposed to be emulating you, not the other way around.

I would have a massive coronary upon discovering this and would die on the spot. But I would die happy.

I think it's time for a new job, pal.

There are two kinds of people in this world...Part I

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who put the jelly and peanut butter on separate slices of bread and then put them together and those who put the peanut butter and jelly on the same slice and then cover it with the other slice of bread. I am the latter. Which one are you?

(And if you're one of those people who doesn't eat pb&j sandwiches, please don't bother replying - you'll only mess with my whole "two kinds of people" theory, which really doesn't hold up under close scrutiny. And now that I think of it, besides an allergy to peanuts or any of the other ingredients, what kind of a person doesn't like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? You're obviously a weirdo.)

His plan would have worked if it wasn't for those pesky policemen.

The Ira Einhorn trial finally ends in a conviction. I hope it sticks.

Here's a Wired news article that discusses how speculation on the sniper's identity and motivation is sweeping the blog community. I particularly like this theory:

Is it completely beyond the realm of possibility that Jimmy Carter is helping to fund the activities of the D.C.-area sniper? After all, it was 'former' 'President' 'Carter,' who coined, in his ONLY speech to the United Nations in 1977, the phrase 'Dear Policeman, I am God,' and he has, in the past, shown interest in the black art of the tarot. The pattern is clear.

Oh my God. Why didn't someone think of that sooner?

In the news...

...the Washington-area sniper is still terrorizing the population, and now he's left a message at the scene of his 12th shooting. This image shows how a Fairfax, VA Texaco station is taking measures to protect its customers. I hope for all of the people in that area, and for the police (especially Chief Moose), that this psycho is caught soon.

...So, North Korea has decided to fess up and tell the world that, in violation of a 1994 treaty, it has pursued a nuclear weapons program and successfully developed their own nuclear weapons. Isn't that nice? But it's Iraq that we really need to worry about, right?

Waking up

So here we are, at the start of another week. I looked after Marty this weekend while Sheila visited friends in Massachusetts, so things were pretty quiet around here. It rained on Friday and Saturday, but yesterday was a beaut, a crisp, fall day. I met friends from MA halfway in Vernon, CT for my very first cache -- well, the first I've done with my own GPS. Now that I know how to enter and goto a waypoint I need to get Sheila to join me on a couple before the weather turns nasty. It was a great day and a wonderful (but too short) visit.

OK, I need some help, if you can give it to me -- we still haven't decided on costumes for Saturday's party. It's very geeky, but I suggested we go as hobbits last night. There's no makeup involved, and we would be comfortable. Sheila didn't dismiss it outright and seemed to be mulling it over, so hobbits are still a possibility, but I'm still open to suggestions. Anyone? Bueller?
