Facebook could be used to discover if people are serial killers.

Researchers from Sahlgrenska Academy and Lund University in Sweden found that status updates which could indicate that a person is a psychopath or shows some neurotic or narcissistic tendencies.

In a report in the scientific journal Personality And Individual Differences with the catchy title The dark Side Of Facebook, the researchers say that if you do not want to be outed as the next Ted Bundy, do not put any status update which mentions prostitutes, decapitation, pornography or butchers.

Not having a Facebook profile could also be a bad sign. Theatre shooter James Holmes and Norwegian mass murder Anders Behring Breivik did not have any Facebook profiles.

Some bosses have gone on record as thinking that a lack of Facebook could mean the applicant's account could be so full of red flags that it had to be deleted.
