But What About a Parallel Killer?

Dear Yahoo!:
How many people do you have to kill to be considered a serial killer?

Dear Laura:
Quantifying what it takes to be considered a serial killer is about as morbid a question as we've ever tackled.

So, updating your resume? Wondering if you can add some of your murderous life experiences to it? Just ... Ask Yahoo!

In case you were wondering ... I found this while searching for a code snippet that would tell me how many visitors were looking at my pages at the current moment (or in the last x minutes). No, really-- it's the second search result.

Although I now know that I have to kill three people with a break in-between killings before I can call myself a serial killer and that a parallel killer is known as a mass murderer, I still don't have any code snippets. And that could just push me over the edge. So if you've seen anything like this, let me know.
