I have watched many police TV shows and movies in my day. Last night as I was catching the end of some CSI I had a very interesting thought: Why do police departments not hire ninjas? They are spry and agile. It seems like an obvious choice for hunting down suspected murderers with nothing to lose.
Speaking of ninjas, my friend Dave recently joined the army. He flew to Alabama this morning to start Basic Training. I think Dave will be better suited to enjoying the army than most. Before he left we spent an evening doing a makeshift walking tour of downtown Salt Lake City. In our conversations he mentioned that apparently (now, this is unverifiable) ninjas, when they would attack villages, etc. would dress up some non-human primate near the village in a uniform matching theirs and tie him to a tree. Sometimes they would cut the monkey loose, leaving the village stunned that a ninja had turned himself into a monkey. Neat, huh?

dave's always confused me. his random knowledge has so often left me in a stupor.
but the ninja idea is an excellent one. now i know you haven't, in the past, been prone to writing to television networks the way i am, however this might be just the thing CSI needs to "jump the shark", that's tv speak for get out of its ratings slump. think about it andrew, you could single handedly save the show. just think about it.
