Geez,it seems that if you were so inclined April would be a month that you might want to take that month long trip to a desserted island.
These are the things that have happened in April in recent memory:
The Waco Siege
The OKC Bombing.
Columbine
The VT tragedy.
And(somebody correct me if I'm wrong) the Sep 11th tragedy was originally planned for April but the slimes didn't have the logistics worked out.
