Is this sort of like picking up the mouse and placing it on the computer? :-)

Correction: Henry Lee Lucas is the U.S. serial killer who has killed
the largest number of people.  He is in jail now, and in interviews
and reports is estimated to have killed over 200 people in his career.

Another correction: the Green River area of Washington is a good hour
or two drive away from the North Bend area of Washington.  The area
worked by the Green River killer was the strip of Interstate 5 between
Seattle and Tacoma which contains an airport, executive hotels, and
extensive prostitution.  It's not a lot like the small-town atmosphere
of Twin Peaks.  The area around North Bend is closer in character to 
Issaquah, a small town near which was found the remains of two of 
Theodore Bundy's victims.
