Choosing serial killer as your occupation can’t be all fun and games. With so many famous murderers in the hall of fame – Ed Gein, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Jack the Ripper, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy – it’s hard getting some attention if you’re kinda average at your job.
Here are a couple of individuals that couldn’t make it to the upper echelons but were evil bastards nonetheless.
10. John Robinson
There are eleven women either dead or missing that are linked to John Robinson. Over a 16 year period, the married middle-aged father of four, met the women through the internet, and personal ads. The sadomasochist was found out when when two metal 55-gallon barrels were unearthed in his property in rural Kansas, and each happened to contain a female body. A few days later, three more female bodies were found in barrels in a storage locker rented by Robinson in Missouri. He was convicted of the murders and given the death penalty.
9. Larry Eyler
Larry Eyler started off his chosen occupation buy picking up men and taking them to a secluded spot for some great sex. He would then then handcuff them, beat them to death, disembowel them, and pull their pants down. That last bit must have been his funny side coming out. Eyler was connected to one of his crimes by a tyre track he left at one of the scenes, and upon searching through his trash, the police found the remains of a 15-year old boy. Eyler was sentenced to death, but died of of AIDS-related complications. After his death it was revealed that he had committed 21 murders.
8. Peter Kurten
Peter Kurten started his business in the city of Dusseldorf, Germany from 1929. Most of the victims were young women, although men and children were not excluded; they all were slashed or bludgeoned to death, and sometimes sexually assaulted. Kurten even sent friendly letters to the cops informing them where to find the bodies, he even drew a map.
Kurten got sexual gratification in the slayings; his ultimate satisfaction came when he caught the blood spurting from a victim’s wounds in his mouth and swallowed it. Known as the Vampire of Dusseldorf, Kurten murdered over 30 people, and was eventually was guillotined in Cologne, Germany in 1931.

My ADD-riddled brain muscle doesn’t really have the capacity to read through the thousands of words that make up a Rolling Stone album review. What I need is a quick consensus, a 1-liner, to-the-point, no beating around the bush, long-story-short.
That’s where Musebin comes in. Like Twitter, it limits each album review to a single, 140-character line. And like Reddit, it allows users to rate those reviews up or down using Yea or Nay buttons.

My devious play on words has obviously attracted you here, and now that you are here, let us know what content you’d like to see more of on the blog by taking part in the poll – you’ll see it in the sidebar to your right.

CNN reports that Zimbabwe’s central bank is soon going to be introducing a 100 trillion dollar note to keep pace with hyperinflation. The official rate was 231 million percent as of July 2008. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe said the new notes that includes 50 trillion, 20 trillion and 10 trillion would be released for the “convenience of the public”.
We here at the onelargeprawn blog have spies everywhere and in exchange for some Colgate toothpaste and a Kitkat, one of our mercenary contacts has managed to get hold of the note. Herewith for your viewing please, and a World first, I give you Zimbabwe’s new 100 trillion dollar note.
It’s Smack My Bitch Up, but not as you know it. Polish beatboxing act Al-Fatnujah perform a Prodigy classic.

Incidentally, if anyone still remembers Prodigy, their fifth studio album Invaders Must Die is going to be released on February 23rd, 2009. The single, Invaders Must Die, from the forthcoming album is certainly not as hard-hitting as I was expecting. And it sounded like The Chemical Brothers.

Money can’t buy you happiness. But it can surely buy you a flashy ride. If I were so stacked that Warren Buffett were borrowing money from me, I’d like to know what the most luxurious expensive, and in-your-face production cars were so I could by one, you know, for my maid.
The 10 most expensive cars in the world after the jump. And there’s a poll at the end.
Not just of walls (that would just be silly), but with stuff written on them.

So the final season of Battlestar Galactica on it’s way and a new Star Trek movie due out this year. Not being a fan of neither, it’s unsurprising that I’ve never wondered which vessel from the two franchises would win out in a ship-to-ship match. Thankfully, the interweb is awash with sci-fi fans nerds all too ready to flex their brain muscle, comparing and contrasting the tech on both ships, and choosing a winner.
So join DVICE in their inaugural sci-fi tech contest – Starship Enterprise vs Battlestar Galactica.
Hit the jump if you just want to know who the winner is.
