CNN.com – Closing the net: How they cracked the case – Oct. 25, 2002

So DC residents can sleep soundly and stop crabwalking at the gas pumps.

Heard an interesting idea on the radio this morning: a bill that forces gun manufacturers to do ballistic testing on weapons before they ship them, creating a database of weapon info that could be used in event of a crime. I’m sure people would howl that it violates their privacy somehow — but how, really? The only reason to use that info would be to help solve a crime. It just seems to make a lot of sense if you can have guns fingerprinted in that manner….

On another note, Darren Baker nearly got run over last night, but man was it funny.

the headache right now

is a sneaking sniper — one minute

here, and when I think i’ve got it spotted

it shifts to a completely different tree

and shoots a half second of pain

only to disappear again, ready to resume

hostilities at a moment’s notice.
