Yes they do, but the only noticeable spikes are around Thanksgiving and Christmas. We usually go from one domestic disturbance to another the week of Thanksgiving. On the actual day of Thanksgiving, it usually calms down somewhat, but the day after Thanksgiving? We call it "Black Friday Rumble". There is an inordinate amount of domestic calls on that day pretty much from the stroke of midnight and continuing thru the weekend. Christmas is a very busy time also. Unfortunately, in addition to working lot of domestic calls around Christmas, the number of suicides goes up sharply. From just after Thanksgiving until around New Year, we work almost as many suicides as we work in any other three month quarter throughout the year. What I mean by that is, say we work 25 suicide cases in the month of October, 5 of them successful and 20 unsuccessful attempts (Overdoses, cut wrists, etc.), between Thanksgiving and Christmas we usually work around 75-100 suicides. A lot of them are attempts, cries for help, whatever you want to call it, but the number of successful suicides goes up sharply which is unfortunate.

What is even stranger and half the board won't believe me on this one, but I work in the division that runs stats for the whole department, so I can say this is true because statistics don't lie if you run the same query the same way every time. The full moon 100% absolutely brings out the worst in people. We've got several statistics databases we run queries from on all major crimes: Rape, robbery, arson, homicide, burglary, B&E, a few others. If you graph these out around the full moon every month, you can see a spike around every full moon every month and it goes back ten years, at least until 1998 when is when we went to the record management system we currently use. During the full moon, arguments turn into fist fights, fist fights turn into knife fights, knife fights turn into gun fights. People who usually just argue with other people when they're drinking will end up beating the hell out of one another during the full moon. I'm not stating absolute causation here but I'm saying there is a correlation between rising crime and the full moon. I'll set my watch and warrant by it.

Totally agree; the full moon brings out the worst of the worst ....

Riddles

1. You're running a race and pass the person in 2nd place. What place are you in now?

2. Imagine you are in a dark room. How do you get out?

3. Who makes it, but has no need of it.
Who buys it, but has no use for it.
Who uses it but can neither see nor feel it.
What is it?

4. You answer me, but I never ask you a question. What am I?

5. What can travel around the world while staying in a corner?

6. Johnny's mother had three children. The first was named April and the second was named May. What was the name of the third child?

7. Some months have 30 days, and some months have 31 days. How many have 28?

8. What occurs once in every minute, twice in every moment, but never in a thousand years?

9. If there are three apples and you take two away, how many apples do you have?

10. What has no beginning, end, or middle?

11. There is a word and six letters it contains. Take one away and twelve is what remains. What word is it?

12. If you have me, you want to share me. But if you share me, you no longer have me. What am I?

13. How much dirt is there in a hole that's four feet by five feet by six feet?

14. Two girls were born to the same mother, on the same day, at the same time, in the same month and year and yet they're not twins. How can this be?

15. At night they come without being fetched. By day they are lost without being stolen. What are they?

16. What is so delicate that even saying its name will break it?

17. You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

18. What word in the English Language is always spelled incorrectly?

19. What goes up a chimney down but can't come down a chimney up?

20. What grows when it eats, but dies when it drinks?

21. The more it dries, the wetter it gets. What is it?

Answer Key

  • You're in second place. You didn't pass the person in first.
  • Stop imagining.
  • A coffin
  • A telephone
  • A stamp
  • Johnny
  • All of them
  • The letter M
  • You took two apples, so you now have two of them.
  • A doughnut
  • Dozens
  • A secret
  • There is no dirt in a hole or it wouldn't be a hole.
  • They're in a set of triplets
  • The stars
  • Silence (And probably Derrick Rose's knee)
  • An ear of corn
  • Incorrectly
  • An umbrella
  • Fire
  • A towel
