When Geeks Get Violent
Trivia events turn deadly in tough competition:
    In St. Louis County's VFW Halls and school cafeterias, a mistranslated Latinate, a misremembered movie quote, and even a sports record misstated by two at-bats have been motives for murder.

    Fourteen homicides struck neighborhood Trivia Night fundraisers over an 18-month period starting in 2001. The seemingly trivial reasons behind the killings led a prosecutor to label it "Ground Zero for Senseless Murder."
Oh, sorry, I misread the headline. It's "Trivial events turn deadly in tough neighborhood," which is much less amusing than where my mind went.
