- I dont think there is any more proof needed that this guy is a fruit cake. - Justice is served! - People out there still smoke? Ah well here's something else to be concerned about. - The new .biz and .info websites went "live" this past week.. havent seen any just yet though.Lastly, so how long does everyone actually think the internet will be able to dodge all these taxes?

I like this particularly: "Ridiculous hypothetical situation: If Tribes 2 had been developed and released by Activision under the name "Future War" with the exact same hype and expectations, release difficulties, and the continuing hardware and technical frustrations, would you have bought the game, and would you be playing the game today?"

Name John George Haigh
Aliases "The Acid Bath Murderer"
Location UK
Born 1910
Died 10th August 1949 (Death by hanging, Wandsworth prison)
Status Deceased
-John George Haigh methodically planned each of his murders, with all three stages carefully though out to prevent untidy, or messy finishes to his activities.
The first stage was to isolate the victim from any familiarity around them (escorting to his glamorised "workshop", which was nothing more than an adjacent room next to a factory). In all of the above cases, his victims were always led under a pretence of discovery, which was based upon his initial friendship established with each of them. Put quite simply, they had absolutely no reason to suspect Haigh of performing anything unusual, until it was too late.
The next stage was to cleanly render his target incapable of responding to his attack (via the use of a .38 Webley revolver). He concealed the gun upon his person once he had coaxed his intended target inside his workshop. Then Haigh would seize any opportune moment to kill the victim with as little effort as possible on his part.
Finally, and probably most difficult of all, was the traceless disposal of the body (vats of industrial acid). It was Haigh's mistaken (and arrogant) belief that a corpse could be completely disposed of via the acid. Unfortunately for Haigh, certain parts of the human body are more resilient to attack than most people realise, either by their very nature (such as teeth and bone) and artificial items (such as dentures) and are usually picked up as trace evidence by forensic experts. Haigh's false assumption that murder could not be proved without the body was to have lead to his downfall.
One other key element in all the murders is the violations performed on the victims in the consumption of blood. Though the murders were very important to Haigh, he also saw the need to sustain himself financially, and would thus strip the body of any valuables that he could use himself (things such as jewelry, and ration cards which he later used for himself). These would later be found at his home, which provided further damning evidence against him.
-More ominously and disturbing, were Haigh's description of his recurring nightmare:
"I saw before me a forest of crucifixes which gradually turned into trees. At first there appeared to be dew, or rain, dripping from the branches, but as I approached I realized it was blood. Suddenly the whole forest began to writhe and the trees, stark and erect, to ooze blood...A man went to each tree catching the blood...When the cup was full he approached me. 'Drink,' he said, but I was unable to move."
