My theory is that the more Leland kills using BOB, the more wacko (and 
perhaps more BOB-like) he gets. If BOB is Death, like some have 
suggested, then there is a passage in the diary that could explain it: 
"Murder is just a way of shaking hands with Death and saying `What's 
mine, is yours.'" The more Leland kills, the more BOB takes advantage of 
this, and thus the more in control he gets, and the more visible/apparent 
he gets. 
I have a sneaking suspicion that with the next murder, Leland is going to 
go out the window completely.
