Murder Rains
EDUTAINMENT By Contra™ on July 16, 2009 at 10:39 am
According to the New York Times, if you like avoiding murder as much as the next guy, you may want to consider doing the majority of your outdoor tasks on rainy days. That’s right, thanks to some bored delinquents researchers, we now know that murder rates go down when precipitation goes up.
Why they felt that this was necessary research to do is beyond reason. People don’t go out when it rains because that’s just plain stupid. No research required. Traffic, accidents, bad roads, pneumonia, lightning. These are all things that are more likely to kill you than some random psychopath assassin. Besides, I stay home to keep my kicks dry. Murder >Wet Nikes
Newspapers have turned into that old guy in the trench coat outside your local food and liquor spot. The dude that’s either soothsaying, selling you something illicit or just being flat out outlandish in hopes of entertaining you and making some change. That hobo that gets all the news late, who’ll probably remind you that gas prices are ridiculous later today as if the shit just happened.
Yeah. That weirdo. Almost makes you wish he’d go out on a sunny day and meet his fate.

Have yall noticed how dumb all of these “studies” are? Everyday some new bullshit comes out.
“Masturbating raises awareness in black males, study shows”
then something comes out to contradict out that study
“Masturbating lowers quality of life in black males, study shows”
And this you youngins is considered Pork Barrel Spending!!!!!!
Here are a few Absurd examples………
$107,000 to study the sex life of the Japanese quail.
$1 million to study why people don’t ride bikes to work.
$19 million to examine gas emissions from cow flatulence. (that’d be a cow fart)
$144,000 to see if pigeons follow human economic laws.
$57,000 spent by the Executive Branch for gold-embossed playing cards on Air Force Two.
$500,000 to build a replica of the Great Pyramid of Egypt …….in Indiana.
$250,000 to study TV lighting in the Senate meeting rooms.
$130,000 for a Congressional video-conferencing project.
$350,000 to renovate the House Beauty Salon.
SMH
I’ll say this, studies are two things…
1) A study doesn’t really survey EVERYONE and EVERY THING so either way… it only can do so much and go so far to put out a study publicly like this. My thing is that WE as the People should be doing the STUDYING. That shit don’t stop when the summer hits on some schools out type sh1t.
2) Pertaining to the actual topic… As long as it wasn’t front page sh1t, I can take it because news is news even if it’s old. Apparently it was new to them lol.
-Teezy
i heard ted bundys fav song in jail was new editions can you stand the rain.
suuuuunnny days…everybody loves them
tell me baby…can…. you…. stand …..the…… blade.
Yeah, studies are dumb. Who wants to understand behavioural trends in society?
It’s plain obvious to you that murder rates are higher when it’s nice outside?
But studies show murder rates are really high during a heat wave. Another time when it isn’t that nice to go outside. When it’s too hot.
I find it interesting. Guess I’m the only one.
Hmm…so does this mean I’m more likely to get caught on a rainy day…i mean since other crimes aren’t happening?
“Almost makes you wish he’d go out on a sunny day and meet his fate.”
I couldn’t help but LMAO. Good shit.
