Science Fair Projects - Virgin Killer (249 words)
A virgin killer is a person who takes pride in having sex with virgins.
Statistically, there is only one virgin per man, and therefore a virgin killer thinks that he is more "man" the more virgins he gets to sleep with.
It should be noted that many virgins above a certain age have properties that make them unattractive to other men, and therefore the "virgin killer"'s logic is flawed.
Overkill (498 words)
He brought with him a guitarist from his old band (a punk/classic rock cover band), whose name is forgotten.
After rejecting several names, including "Virgin Killer", this new band finally settled on "Overkill", naming themselves after a Motorhead album.
Early covers (especially those done under the Virgin Killer name in the very very early days) were punk songs for the most part, including selections by the Ramones, and The Dead Boys.
