.: Bennibal Lector :.

I was watching Criminal Minds with my brother last night. He enjoyed the show very much, and to my surprise, it was his first time watching this five-seasons-running-with-the-sixth-season-in-line series.

It’s pretty much like CSI, for those who, like my brother, have not watched this before. But I personally prefer this to CSI as it tend to focus more on the killer and the profile of the killer itself, rather than the crime.

After watching last night’s run, I realize that the profiles of most of the serial killers are somewhat similar. So my curiosity got the better of me, as I started Wiki-ing on the BKT killer, and as one link leads to another, I was somewhat between amused and crept-out reading about the Macdonald Triad.

In short, according to the Macdonald Triad (also known as the triad of sociopathy) is a set of three behaviors associated with sociopathic behavior identified by J.M Macdonald. The triad links animal cruelty, obsession with fire setting and persistent bedwetting past the age of five to violent behaviors.

Now, if you all know my brother very well, he has displayed two of the three behaviors listed above, and I need to check with my Mom if he has a bedwetting problem.

With that, does that make my brother having a significant tendency to be a killer? Worse still a serial one? *dramatic gasps*

I would love to list down the things my brother have done, but due my kind-heartedness, I shall spare him from having to explain to PETA or my mom for the animals he tortured or the things that he has burned down (explaination given to my mom was that the things “mysteriously disappeared”)

So, Ben the psychopath serial killer. The Bendiac Killer. Ben the Ripper. Bennibal Lector (fictitious I know).

Ah, but too bad, after reading the list of general characteristic of a serial killer (listed here), I can safely eliminate that his can be one, considering point

2) – he’s not at all intelligent – refer to this post here :)
3) – well, he’s a pharmacist but I dunno if I can classify as a menial tasked job
4) – our family members are stable, with the exception of him :)
5) – nopez, not abandoned but the domineering mom is true! :)
6) – no such records in our family
7) – no abuse (hey, me beatin him up does NOT count as abuse ok. it was self defence, honest!)
8) – nopez
9) – not that I am aware off
10) – to check with Mom

So, jus having 2 ½ points (well for point 1) he’s single, but not white) doesn’t warrant me to call in the FBI or BAU does it? Hehe :)
