Remains of Missing Virginia Tech Student Found

posted by tamer on 01.27.10 at 1:59 am

We usually don't do these kind of entries, but I do for some reason. This student's name is Morgan Dana Harrington, age 20, was a student at Virginia Tech. She went missing after a Metallica concert in Charlottesville, VA, October 17, 2009. Skeletal remains of her body were found this morning in a farm 10 miles out of Charlottesville.

"I was on my tractor feeding cows on a remote part of the farm I don't normally go to," Bass told The Hook, a Charlottesville newspaper.

Her perpetrator(s) are still at large. The Harrington family is offering $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of anyone involved. Metallica is adding $50,000 to that amount. Please, if any of you have information on this case, please contact the Virginia State Police.

Mosquito genocide anyone?

graph1Today, I woke up this morning to find 8 mosquito bites all over my body. Does anyone else hate them as much as I do? Looking at this graph I made, I conclude that it is only logical for the United States to go to war with mosquitos. I mean they kill over 3,000,000 people each year, we've gone to war for less.

NYC Homocides Map

(Click image to see the map)

Here’s a map created by the NY Times that shows all homicides that occurred in NYC between 2003 and 2009. You can also sort them by month, time of day, borough, race, sex, age, and even the weapon used.

It’s pretty alarming to see that in the past 30 days, there have been 40 homicides. That’s at least one a day.

Some info that “champion” figured out from the map:

And, statistically, you're least likely to get killed by an asian woman, aged 55 and over, in the daytime, in Staten Island, in January... ...and most likely to be killed by a black dude, aged 18-24, at night, in the Bronx, in May.
