According to this article at Reuters, a simple recommendation from Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez took Noam Chomsky’s Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance from obscurity to 3rd place on Amazon’s best seller list.

Hoping to take advantage of his marketing potential, I have ordered a copy of my book, One Hundred Pages Of Zeros, sent to Mr. Chavez:

Kimveer Gill, 25, walked into Montreal’s Dawson College yesterday and started shooting people. So far the count is one dead and twenty injured.

The Toronto Star found his profile on VampireFreaks.com and published some pictures from it today. They did not link to his actual profile, but a Google search for “kimveer site:vampirefreaks.com” reveals that his screen name was fatality666.

It’s all fairly standard stuff for an angsty goth, but some highlights include surveys like “Which gun are you?” (an assault rifle, which he used in the shooting spree) and a tombstone image predicting his horrible death.

I used ACA Capture Pro to get image captures of the two cached pages (click for large):
