Murder as literature

In keeping with today's serial killer theme, here are some letters that a pop culture jokester wrote to serial killers in California's in the late 1990s, pretending to be a kid who wants to drop out of school, along with their hand-written responses. Then, he writes back a decade later thanking them for their advice.

Besides Charles Manson, who was and remains crazy, and the Night Stalker, who really just wanted pictures of girls in bikinis, most the inmates stepped up to the plate and told him little Billy to stay in school.

Also included are letters and responses to the Hustler's Larry Flynt, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and others.
