Maybe it's the giant moon making us all crazy, but there's a plethora of violent crime in the Japanese newspapers today. A professor at Chuo University was found stabbed to death this morning in a campus bathroom. A disgruntled Tochigi truck driver shot his ex-girlfriend and her dad on Monday as they were getting out of their car, injuring both. He was arrested for illegal possession of a handgun and attempted murder. On the stranger front, a 34-year old man who blamed his low self esteem on visible burn marks on his legs admitted to slicing up a 23-year old abductee and boiling her bones before flushing them down the toilet. He claims he wanted to make her a sex slave; he was pretty sure nobody would ever sleep with him because of his outward appearance, so he kidnapped her and tried to rape her, but failed—so he killed her instead. The police think the murder part was not premeditated. Like I said, he just wanted a sex slave.

That's really messed up...
