The Science of Crime

Via patternsofchaos, Australian crime not soaring: report.

But as An Onymous Lefty points out(*) the comments consist almost entirely of people saying "Well then the numbers are wrong!". Guh. (I didn't notice because I find it's better to pretend news articles don't have comments, they're so reliably rage inducing)

Bufffffffy night!

What: Watch the next 3 episodes of Buffy: "Reptile Boy", "Halloween", "Lie to Me"
When: 6pm for a 6:30ish start, Wednesday 3rd June. Any time before 9:00pm is ok if you don't missing bits/being quiet as you come in. Finishes around 9:30.
Where: My house. If you're not on the filter for that post (and I suck at filters so that may be lots of people) email/IM/comment etc and I'll tell you my address
Who: Anyone who knows and likes me well enough to hang out for a few hours and would get some enjoyment out of watching Buffy.
What to bring: Any snack food you wish to eat, and if neccesary your own dinner. I will provide nothing but chairs and a tv(*) :P Maybe some carrot sticks and rice thins too.

My health issues mean I will probably kick people out quite sharply not long after the last episode so I can sleep. Please do not take this personally :)

(*)I'm fine with people having a mass pizza order or something, but since I have such wierd food issues will leave that to you guys to figure out for yourselves. I'll have some menus for local places to hand.
