One of the classes I am taking this term is Advanced Criminology and in this class there is a great deal of attention paid to crime statistics.  Here are some interesting little tidbits I just learned I thought I would share with my fellow PL CJ students and anyone else who might have a free moment and a comment or two.  Some of this is really interesting.

No joke!... I love how they through in the "Availability of guns." Gee, I wonder in what context they're refering.


They told (us) to open up the Embassy, or "we'll blow you away." And then they looked up and saw the Marines on the roof with these really big guns, and they said in Somali, "Igaralli ahow," which means "Excuse me, I didn't mean it, my mistake".

The criminology class I took offered information that said an over amount of vitamin B13 can cause psychoparanoia. Makes you wonder why all the pot heads act even more crazy in between brain cells. Chugging energy drinks to detox themselves they load up on niacin and B6 and B13, they will be the ones talking to stop signs or running around the house in the dark with a sheet on pretending to be Obi Wan,
