A modest proposal (in re: Va. Tech)

The multimedia manifesto the shooter sent to NBC makes it pretty darn clear that what he wanted out of this was fame & notoriety.

I humbly propose we refuse to give it to him.

Let his name not be spoken. Let there be no earnest talking-heads calling up experts, let there be no books exploring his psychology, let there be no symposia on what motivated him. Let his memory fade into obscurity (in the way that Klebold and Harris have not) and his shade howl in the empty wastes of insignificance.

It's a simple question, really. I was looking at bar sets and idly wondering why a bar knife has a forky bit on the end. Newbie hypothesizes it's so you can pit olives, but this seems wrong to me.

Wikipedia fale us; and for the rest, well, if you search for "bar knife", you learn everything you want to know about Ka-Bar blades.

Edit: Yes, I got the answer eventually. Just sayin'.

Fucking. Awesome. Go see it.

(Graphic enough to make me cringe and hide my eyes in spots. Doesn't matter. Fucking awesome.)
