Excerpt: Josef Fritzl, the Austrian electrician who raped and incarcerated his daughter in his cellar and fathered seven children by her, will plead not guilty to charges of murder and slavery.

Fritzl, 73, is accused of causing the death of his son, who died for lack of medical attention, and enslaving his captive family in the adapted nuclear bunker beneath his house in the town of Amstetten.

He is expected to claim his secret offspring were "just like other children" because he brought them an aquarium with goldfish and pet budgerigar in their windowless underground dungeon.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

AmImissingSomething?

And the children "rejoiced" when he went down to the cellar.... I'm sure they most definitely did.

Josef sounds like a real winner... I love the way he has of saying how nicely the kids were treated. His eyebrows are something else too. You suppose he styled them himself?

oh, btw....

Erika, I think you might have missed a few tags on this one .... wow... what a list you've got there!
