What did everyone get for Christmas?

Books, mainly. Lies, Deep Fries & Statistics: From Radio National's Ockham's Razor, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2007.

Physical evidence cannot be wrong; it cannot perjure itself; it cannot be wholly absent, only its interpretation can err. Only human failure to find it, study and understand it, can diminish its value.

Cited by Gabrielle Lord in "Forensic Research", from Lies, Deep Fries & Statistics.

Quote:

And now for something completely different, as John Cleese used to say in Monty Python. What would an Asperger's Ockham's Razor sound like? Many brilliantly talented artists, from the pianist Glenn Gould to perhaps the writer J D Salinger, have been put in this category. Christopher Nagle puts himself there - and he does so to give a blast against consumerism writ large, the postmodern society as a gigantic supermarket selling 24/7 and filling every space there is.

Introduction to "Profile of a Postmodern Outsider" by Christopher Nagle.

Thanks, still bad when it's 4 questions out of 20 on a multiple choice test. If the test were longer there would be a smaller percentage difference, but I still would have them wrong. I hate it when I get things wrong. Happy new year coming up, how wilt things be going for that?

But Locard's actual principle is the one in my sig. Basically, whenever there is contact between criminal and crime scene, there is a trace.

Lord doesn't contradict Locard; in fact she then goes on to quote his famous "Every contact leaves a trace."

There might be footprints that are like those of the biohazard suit's boots, or they will find a biohazard suit with human blood all over it in a place where it shouldn't be (outside Zaire or USAMRIID). Besides, a biohazard suit would be a conspicuous costume for committing crime.
