How is Ed Gein number 3? Who didn't already know everything they needed to know about him?
I knew nothing until this post but thanks to the comments I now do know everything I need to.
Have literally not even heard of the subject of the 3rd most popular article.
Cultural balkanization in microcosm.
Once you hear about the dude it's hard to forget about the dude. That's why I'm absolutely disinterested in the documentary or the wiki article.
