These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-01-30,

by members of Footloose and Firkin Free, but have been reformatted
and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.

* Game 2, Round 4 - Miscellaneous - Serial Killers

We are doing our best to provide you with an interesting game,
but perhaps not necessarily a pleasant one!

1. This Hungarian countess is purported to have killed hundreds
of victim between 1590 and 1610. Later writings led to legendary
accounts of her bathing in the blood of virgins in order to
retain her youth. Name her.

2. This Frenchman, who lived from 1404 to 1440, was a Breton
knight, a leader in the French army, and a companion-in-arms
of Joan of Arc. But he is perhaps best known as a prolific
serial killer of children. Name him.

3. What *nickname* was given to Gary Ridgway, who was convicted of
the murders of 49 women in the Seattle area during the 1980s and
'90s?

4. What *nickname* was given to Dennis Rader, who murdered 10
people in and around Wichita between 1974 and 1991? He sent
letters describing the details of the killings to police and
to local news outlets during the period of time in which the
murders took place.

5. John Christie was a notorious English serial killer active in
the 1940s and '50s. He murdered at least 8 females by strangling
them in his flat in Notting Hill, London. Name the 1971 *movie*,
starring Richard Attenborough, that told his story.

6. Women serial killers are pretty rare. One of them was Aileen
Wuornos, who murdered 7 men in Florida in 1989 and 1990.
Name the 2003 *movie*, starring Charlize Theron, that told
her story.

7. CODIS is a database funded by the United States FBI. It is
useful in the identification of suspects in crimes such as serial
murders. What *type of information* is stored in the database?

8. FBI agents had noticed a significant number of murder victims
being dumped alongside Interstate highways. These murders
mostly involved women leading high-risk transient lifestyles,
and were difficult to solve. As a result, in 2009 the FBI
launched the HSK initiative. What do the letters HSK stand for?

9. Which serial killer was known as either the Milwaukee Monster
or the Milwaukee Cannibal? Name him or her.

10. What was the real name of the Son of Sam?

* Game 2, Round 6 - Entertainment - TV Catchphrases

Each catchphrase is associated with a specific TV character or
real-life personality. Name that person. In some cases the first
name or nickname will be accepted for fictional characters, and
you may also, alternatively, name the real-life person playing them.

1. "Would you believe...?"
2. "Sufferin' succotash!"
3. "The tribe has spoken."
4. "No soup for you!"
5. "Dyn-o-mite!"
6. "God'll get you for that."
7. "Respect my authori-ta!"
8. "I love it when a plan comes together!"
9. "Good night, and good luck."
10. "I know nothing!"

Highway Serial Killers

(somehow I doubt it's that obvious, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong)
