Am I nuts in asking why more than usual high-profile, mass killings seem to happen in the mid-April timframe -- Waco, April 19; Oklahoma City, April 19; Columbine, April 20; and now this tragedy in Virginia. Is this an early Spring phenomenon? I often mention to my sister, whose birthday is April 20, about how bad things always seem to happen around her special day -- she is a great person. Any observations?

Where can I found a good quality download of the infamous April 1, 1957 Swiss Spaghetti Harvest story from the BBC program Panorama? All I can find is the crappy Real video stream in my link or conversions of it.
