@rms I thought they were just called shootings.
"One strict definition used in the past by the federal government says at least four victims must be killed."
Is a mass extinction 4 or more?
"The FBIdefines mass murder as murdering four or more persons during an event with no "cooling-off period" between the murders. A mass murder typically occurs in a single location where one or more people kill several others."
I guess 4 beers is mass quantities vis-a-vis the Coneheads.
