2008 Links in Review Part IV

One word for this update: hobos. Ok, you're right, there are other things here too.

The history of profiling serial killers. Strange, when I first read this article, it was referenced on an episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent (the best L&O in my opinion). What that has to do with anything, I'm not really sure, unless you believe in a karmic universe.

I'm not sure why the life of a hobo seems so glamorous to me. I'm sure had I never needed to embark on a journey as a hobo I'd instantly regret my decision. Still, if I ever do, at least I'll know the hobo symbols to help me in my travels.

Surf bum math genius?

Esquire was probably listening to the Popcorn Trick to get this idea for an article on Numbers Stations.

Oh yes, there will be more. Keep checking!
