Anyone see tonight's CSI. Giving razors a bad name....
Yea, they have used straights as a possibility a few times. Some other shows have done the same thing.
If it was CSI Miami, I'm sorry to say I'll miss it. I like the other shows though.

NCIS is much better though. Especially with Abby and Ziva (mostly Abbs though :))
Btw, I recently watched 'The Expendables' in theatre, and one of those guys used a straight as a weapon.
Does anyone realize what those CSI shows have done to Law Enforcement folks who actually do CSI? People think crime is actually solved in under one hour. I have been asked by a Grand Juror why the documenting and collection of evidence at a crime scene took more than an hour. There were over 2000 items of evidence to be collected on that one scene. The entire Grand Jury was shocked to find out how long a DNA analysis and comparison actually took.
I was taught by a man who had a PhD in Math and a PhD in Economics that "the Masses are asses." That Grand Jury drove the point home for me.
As a result of the Str8 being the possible murder weapon on the CSI show, you should not tell your friends and neighbors you use a str8. They will think you are a murderer!!!
On the bright side, maybe my neighbor will now be compelled to stop his dog from sh!ting all over my lawn...Quote:

I saw it. Because I have RAD so bady, I actually paused my TIVO to see if I could tell what kind of razor it was - boy do I need professional help:)
With CSI, I particulary like how complete their databases are. Everything anyone could possibly know or want to know is in their databases. Possibly we should sent all cold case files to Lawrence Fishburn, David Caruso and Gary Sinise.
Two points:
I agree on David Caruso sucking.
On the PhD comments, I agree. In fact I have said for years " Never underestimate the stupidity of the Average American." This however, includes the PhD's, for many of them have an education, but no common sense.
I didn't see the shows but I hope the razor was professionally honed. :p
Apparently we are going to be seeing alot more of the Str8 razor murderer, they didn't catch him last night, so he'll either be a recurring serial killer, or he'll be back for at least one more show.
I turned to my wife last night, after one of the attacks, and told her, 'there's no way a straight razor would have survived that attack without chipping'. This guy was really whacking away at Ann Margaret's forearms, who BTW, still looks fantastic. If she had a face lift it is one of the better ones I've seen.
saw the trailer for it during criminal minds the other night....besides being creeped out by the guy, i was annoyed at the razor as a weapon thing.....its just so improbable
Interesting that if you go to UK ebay sellers routinely refer to "cut throat razors." The stereotype was more prominent in the USA back when I was a kid in the '50s and '60s showing black men as having a straight razor in their pocket. Willie Dixon, the great Chicago blues bass player and songwriter, wrote Wang Dang Doodle. The opening lyric includes,"Tell razor totin' Jim." To those who are unfamiliar with their use a straight razor is a threatening looking thing.
Common sense is completely independant from Education, no matter where you live.Quote:

Also, I am surprised that the razor didn't snap with all that reckless slashing.

Think of an American with an IQ of 100. Know how dumb that is? By definition, half of the people in America are dumber than that.
I saw an episode of CSI where a guy got murdered with a brick.
I don't know any bricklayers that were afraid it gave them a bad name.
:roflmao Now THAT is funny.Quote:

The funniest one i ever saw was Paul Greco in "The Warriors", handling a rather nice shoulderless...

Another novel that uses a straight razor in a murder is John Sandford's Broken Prey. But I have wondered...it seems to me that a straight razor would be a horrible weapon. I mean, the pivot? When I cut, I want my blade to be rigidly supported by the grip. It seems to me that a straight, with it's tendency to pivot back away from resistance on the edge, would be a really ungainly weapon and one that, if any struggle at all ensued, would be as likely to hurt the killer as the killee.
