That’s actually a good idea and it often works. Lots of guilty people are set free or found not guilty because the defense presents some random DNA found at the scene that isn’t the defendant’s. Reasonable doubt. And because it allows the defense to say “DNA”, the jury is impressed. In this guy’s case, he had a chance of lucking out with some random fingerprint from some random person that just happened to be at the scene.

Really good, though.

"in 1953, the biggest vessel to travel the Mississippi River and Illinois Waterway (at the time) managed to wind its way downtown on the Chicago River.
This steel hull behemoth was nearly 634 feet long (193m) and 70 feet wide (21.3m) and according to a Chicago Tribune account, the freighter had only seven inches of clearance on each side at Van Buren Street."

47% of American homes are heated with natural gas, 40% electricity (resistance + heat pumps), and about 5% each with propone and oil.
The map matches my experience, Oil in Boston, Electricity in Northern VA, and Oil in South eastern VA. It looks like there might be a small bit of purple near this neighborhood.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The average cat’s reaction time is approximately 20-70 milliseconds, which is faster than the average snake’s reaction time, 44-70 milliseconds.
As opposed to the average middle aged white guy’s reaction time, which is 5-7 seconds.

Mrs. George and I had a similar conversation a few years ago - we were talking about a musical that we saw, and I said, "I wonder if it gets boring doing the same show, night after night for six weeks...."
