They're "pretty sure" it's a hoax? Well, this commenter is doing better than most, but still..."pretty sure"? :boggles:

Oh. Whew. A "massed" murderer. That means it's all over, being in the past tense and all. Wonder what they do with themselves now.

I've always wondered if there really are people who believe this junk? How can someone be so grossly stupid?

Of course, only a Myspace-junkie teen would immediately think, upon finding a body with no obvious cause of death, "I'd better check this person's email to find out what killed them".
