And lets not forget Jim Jones who got about 900 people to poison themselves and their children. - Tom

I actually considered Jim Jones as an example, but I couldn't think of some funny way to spin the carnage he wrought. Was the Congressman killed a Republican or Democrat? I can't remember... the reporter was ABC, though.

Andrea Yates and the N.O.W. willing to defend her actions as post-partum depression and temporary insanity was just too much of a stretch. Drowning 5 kids isn't funny.

But insane suicidal web developers cutting their nuts off to hitch a ride on a comet? Heck, add it on. (I remember when James Domengeaux posted heavensgate.com with "Now THAT'S what I call creating killer web sites!" His graphic artist Cajunman shaved his head on the spot to provide the face for the logo.)

But, hey, I gotta give credit to MY sources... the hot dogs thing may have been Erma Bombeck or Rosanne Barr, the Yoko Ono comment was from some Denis Leary routine, Braille on ATM may have been Carlin, and "crazy, kooky, nutty" just feels like Dennis Miller.
