PROGRAMMER OR KILLER

Malevole has an amusing quiz wherein, from photographs, one has to pick serial killers and programming language inventors. It’s not as easy as it sounds!
Rob Smith got 8 out of 10. I fared exactly as well as random guessing would predict. I only knew one of them by sight–the Son of Sam killer.

I too was 8/10.
I managed 7/10.
They all looked like serial killers to me!
I was looking for Rob's picture in there...or James's Technorati pic!!!
Heh--never wrote any software programs!
I got 7/10. I waffled on the Ukrainian killer or I would have had 8.
9/10 , sometimes it pays to be a geek. Is it scary that I recognized two of the programmers, and only one serial killer? I think so...
A programmer friend who took the test pointed out that the two need not be mutually exclusive.
