    Maurice, isn't telling a four-year-old to go to hell a little harsh?

    Awesome. I'm personally convinced the reason you have 30 year olds playing video games like nuts and generally extending their sophomore year into their life is they were truly denied a real childhood—with the ups and downs of it all—and now are stuck in a loop.

    Now I think I want to see this film.

    Thank you Maurice. The problem with kids these days is that nobody scares the shit out of them. How else are they supposed to learn humility?

    And what about "In the Night Kitchen"? That was a serious acid trip of a book. I loved it as a kid and more so as an adult.

    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: Thank you, my Antipodean friend. I've never seen that before, and Mickey in the Night Kitchen is one of my all-time faves. When I was a kid, I used to pore over the pictures to identify the cooking utensils used in the city skyline. Now I love reading it to the two little avocadoes. Only problem - the youngest little avocado (aged 4) can't understand why we don't eat cake every morning. I think she feels pretty ripped off.

    @DevilsAvocado: in all fairness, it was a lovely compatriot of yrs who first sent me that link. and when i was a kid i used to feel the same way about Margaret Mahy's The Witch in the Cherry Tree. Still don't really understand why baking on a rainy day wouldn't attract witches...

    That's "Daily Momster".

    These stories (the Fritzls, Duggars, "Australian Fritzl", Elizabeth Smart, etc. etc.) make me feel a really bad combination of sick to my stomach and angry. That, and the "not guilty"/plea bargaining - the punishments just are rarely enough except for the worst of the worst.

    "Once a psycho, always a psycho."

    Well, that's subtle and objective. I didn't watch the video, as it took too long to load.

    It actually is more effective to allow the reader to reach certain conclusions instead of being pounded on the head with them.

    He's sick. The point is?

    And "co-worker's" takes an apostrophe.

    "This is just scary."
    "We can't even be scared."

    so... you want I should be scared, or not even be scared?

    based on what you wrote...both?

    Braunstein is a moron who is desperate for attention, and the Daily News is just using him (like everyone else did apparently) in order to get some attention for themselves.

    Unless he has some awesome scheme for breaking out of Dannemora and nuking the city, why should anyone be scared?

    It's pretty sad for the people who he victimized and continues to mention by name that people just won't ignore this sad sack.

    @erinna:

    The article is idle fear-mongering. Of course you should take normal precautions, but he lured the victim from her apartment by setting fires or smoke bombs and posing as a firefighter.

    How are you going to protect yourself from someone as crazily inventive and evil as that?
