From Radar Magazine. Basically, a writer posed as a child and sent letters to various people of various levels of fame asking for advice. In one series of letters, little Billy asked serial killers such as Charles Manson and Ted Kaczynski whether he should drop out of school. Most responded.

The article reprints those letters from around 1999 as well as Billy's follow up letters from around 2007.

Also featured is sage advice from other non-serial killers such as Larry Flynt, Allan Greenspan and the Governator.

The Charles Manson correspondence is whacky.

Not that I didn't know Charles Manson was already crazy . . . but wow that is one crazy guy.

I found that it was kind of what I had expected - I knew Manson was crazy, the unabomber highly intelligent, and so on.

I did think it was pretty interesting that Clarence Thomas hand wrote that extra little bit.
