What were the police-mistakes in the Borden case? It's been so long since I've read about it, I have no clue about that level of detail.

Well, the fact that she was able to wander around for days afterwards, destroying possible evidence. They didn't really search the house for evidence. And her contradictory testimony at the inquest was disallowed because she wasn't sworn in, although the judge seems to have been rather biased so I don't know if the cops should be blamed for that.

For the time and place, a lot of the mistakes are understandable, but still.

The summary here is pretty detailed (and provides sources, which is always nice).

That's the thing, though -- most babies with that much hair at birth lose it within a few days.

I was born with a full head of black hair much like Suri with a fringe on top (HA! Thank you, amych!) but it all fell out after a few days. When I did start to grow hair again, it was blonde. Weird.

Yeah, I've heard that. Mine never did fall out, much to my mothers dismay, because she couldn't do much with it, but it did learn to lie flat, eventually.

In non hair news, loved Nip/Tuck last night. So, the woman who was talking to Julia over lunch - is she well-known? Someone mentioned her name above .

A bit on the disappearance of Judge Crater.

Murder in Hawaii? How about the Massie case?

Seeing all those noirish trailers made me think I'm a demographic for my birthday. The Short case is famous because of the Hollywood thing, the fact that she was sexy , and, you know the mutilation and the good Midwestern girl turned sometime hooker thing I think Ellroy thinks that guy killed his mother, too. Anyone who wants to start reading true-crime should read Homicide: A Year On The Killing Streets. It surpasses any other true crime book I've read, ever.

If there are no Lost castmembers involved, I just don't care.

I don't know if black babies and their hair has any relevance...wait, no, I think it doesn't because I was noted for not having much hair (it was really just a giant mutant forehead) and I'm sure I had as much or more than Suri at three months. We did have one cousin who popped out with one hell of a fro--they combed her hair about once a month, because it was way too stressful to do normally. I'm not sure why they just didn't cut it.

From Entertainment Weekly's review of last night's House:

Taking a backseat to House's self-analysis this week are the Scooby Gang.

Methinks I spy, with my little eye, a Buffy fan.

Liv's just a little bit older than Suri, and she still doesn't have that much hair.

I do think Suri resembles Tom more than Katie. But I've found that to be very, very subjective.

and enjoy a midnight frolic in the university fountain. (It's no Colin Firth lake dive, but it'll do.)

Bwah!

I think she's the spit of Katie. Same weird droopy eyes.
