Wouldn't June 6 have been more numerically appropriate?

Too bad they didn't own a copy of Dungeons and Dragons, or this would be an open and shut case.

Hildago- what is this Dungeons and Dragons of which you speak? Is it like Mazes and Monsters or Dark Dungeons?

The area has held a strong attraction for satanists since 1993, when 17-year-old Hendrik Möbus, the leader of a satanist group, murdered a fellow pupil....

Möbus latched onto the radical right after his release from prison in 1998 after serving five years of an eight-year term.

He became a popular figure on the far-right scene following the success of his rock band.

Kill someone, join a rock band. It's the law.
