1. Murders in New York City are on track to be the lowest-ever since they started keeping track. Either that, or people are getting way better at hiding the bodies.
2. A lot of people are blaming mathematicians at financial firms for the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Apparently, the mathematicians were unable to understand that if Freddy has zero apple trees, and you loan him 100,000 apples, he probably can’t pay you back.

4. A beauty pageant contestant in Puerto Rico had her clothes covered with pepper spray. Then police discovered the pepper spray was to keep fetishists from stealing her clothes.
5. A court in Saudi Arabia sentenced a woman to 200 lashes and six months in prison, after she was gang-raped. The White House officially said the sentence was “astounding”. I’m not sure why, since you got tutored by one of Saudi Arabia’s princes.
