A) A useful reminder regarding the American criminal justice system: Juries are made up of people, and people are dumber than a bag of hammers. What's that old saying, "Imagine the average American, then remember that half of them aren't even that smart?"
B) Related to above, a note that the media went after the best story in the Zimmerman case, not the actual facts.
C) We tend to think of Victorians, especially British ones, as not really liking sex. Well, when Queen Victoria's doctors told her to stop having kids, she said, "Am I not to have any more fun in bed?"
D) Presented without comment, largely because I haven't had the chance to read the article: Why Miami is doomed to drown.
