I thought this might be a cute idea for anyone to post about the fun facts we have learned from our show and our fearless detectives. For example:

Sharks don't have scales

We've learned that:

You can tell which hand is a person's dominant hand by their gums. The gums on the opposite side are more receded because you brush more virgorously on that side.

It's true too! Go look in the mirror for yourself (I dare ya! )

Hey I learned with Parsnips and Scones were. I knew the shark thing, since i have petted a shark, also Dolphins and whales don't have scales.

Now my husband says the thing with the Golf ball in the gas tank in baggage wouldn't work. That there is a filter that would stop it. Anyone out there know any different?

I now know what a Shibboleth is

Soy supposedly makes you less fertile (which is really good to know)

NYC has a beach (LOL I always wondered about that, I thought maybe NYC only has a harbour)

You can open a lock with the help of some cable and a light bulb


I know there's a lot more because I try to file the info away just in case I ever go to "Who wants to be a millionaire"

In public restrooms women hang their purses on the hook inside the stall door.

When dancing the woman just has to do exactly what the man does--except backwards and in heels.

I think it was a ping pong ball because a golf ball wouldn't float.

I learned that schizophrenics make great witnesses.

Because they probably don't take their meds, Cluck! K

I learned what going "bareback" means and what a "buff" is. Really I didn't know-I don't think I'd ever heard either.

yeah thats it but he said it wouldn't work

Bobby Goren thinks Schizophrenics make good witnesses. Also this board has taught me 30 seconds doesn't come fast enough, cause I get the flood control message an awful lot.

also about Brown hair and red sideburns are heriditary. Anyone who watches dexter, notice he has that too.

Red hair is prominent.

That there are different classes of the Thai language. And that peanuts are a common ingredient in Thai cooking. And that people with bipolar disorder may paint in unusual colours.

On the "red is prominent" front. I just thought it would be worth adding that in some people who have a very high concentration of the red pigment in them have the most brilliant eyes!

And schizophrenia patients paint people with Big eyes.

That men will prefer the sweaty naked people next door (I can back this up with country music). And that there's a Dali in Rikers'. And that glowsticks can be used for disgusting purposes.

We learned about the "nearest doughnut" theory--and that men are lazy (that wasn't a completely new idea!).

I also learned (and am not sure I wanted to ever know) what a "booty bump" is.

I learned that Bobby wears size 13 shoes!

I learned glucosamine chondroitin was made from shell fish..(I ran and chunked my bottle in the garbage when he said that..lol).. I know jyran.. as a nurse I shoulda known.

I learned that you can tell what someone had for lunch if they held thier dates hand.. uh.. and you smell said hand.

I learned what a *mutt* was (heck i thought it was a dog.. who knew!!)

*bug*

I learned what a collar is, and not the kind you put on your dog!

I've learned that no matter how hard you try, if you're guilty, you will confess to Bobby Goren. (Unless you're Nicole Wallace, of course.)

Absolutely! Don't try to run and hide either! Keep your mouth shut! K LOL! Well, Goren can frisk me not Eames.

I've learned from Law & Order in general three cardinal rules about dealing with the police:

1. Don't run from the police, it makes it worse.
2. Don't lie to the police, it makes it worse.
3. Don't try to assault one of the police, it makes it worse.

I learned that when Bobby gets mad he slaps the table.

And that 13 is a VERY good shoe size for men!

That bronze horses are very rare. And that if you're a foreign national in the U.S. without a visa and you get arrested you won't be entitled to a lawyer.

Japanese Women don't shrug.

And if they are upper class Japanese, they wait for a gentleman to open the door.

when a person drowns, the throat closes up, trapping air, causing the body to rise. Botox paralysis the muscles, so the throat can't close so water will fill the lungs so the body won't rise.

I learned that diamonds don't keep you warm at night.

I've learned that Bobby doesn't have a standard level for his tie clip.

That is hilarious.

I've learned that uniformed police officers can appear as if from no where to arrest a perp at the end of an aria.

I always say that! Here come the mysterious uniforms out of nowhere! LOL

my husband and I laugh about that all tie time. We always sit back and make fun of a lot of that quirky stff on the show.

I have also learned that EVERYTHING has a smell.

The gulf stream brings up angel fish and butterfly fish in late summer!

10 minutes until 10pm eastern!

I've learned that 6'4 detectives with size thirteen shoe size stay dehydrated all the time and have to ask for a glass of water in every home they enter.

*bug*

I learned how to perform a homemade lobotomy.

I learned to always carry my inhaler.

I've learned that Gransha is an Irish word for "protestant"

I learned:

1. That it's nearly impossible to be killed by falling down a flight of stairs. Instinct will make you
break/stop one of the repeated mini-falls before you reach the bottom.

2. There must be a "fertility clause" in the casting contract for LOCI detectives.
In less than 7 years, 4 out of 7 Detectives have announced "blessed events."
(Erbe/Eames, Nicholson/Wheeler, VDO/Goren, Noth/Logan)
Only Barek, Bishop, and Falacci haven't been "expecting" (and Bishop and Falacci are/were short-timers.)

4. If you're a female between 20-40 years of age and a redhead, you will probably be Logan's partner sometime soon. (As a blond & graying 57 year old, I don't qualify)

5. An exemplary record as a law enforcement officer and/or detective is not enough to qualify for
permanent assignment as a Detective on LOCI's Major Case Squad. For such an
assignment one's childhood/family background must include one or more of the following:

a. Parent (better yet, parent and sibling) that is an alcoholic, drug, and/or gambling addict.
(Goren's father and brother, Logan's mother)
b. Parent "cheats" on his/her spouse (Goren's father & mother)
c. A Parent that has been accused of/convicted of a crime. (Mark Ford Brady, Eame's Father)
d. A relative who disappeared/was often gone during youth and/or is dead/dying sometime during
the LOCI Series. (Goren's fathers-both Goren & Brady, mother, & brother; Wheeler's father;
Eame's husband).
5. It is also a plus to be hot-tempered and/or resist authority (Logan & maybe Falacci) and/or to be
teetering on the brink of sanity/insanity (Goren)

We learned that Bobby likes paintings of naked, sweaty people--to "think" about!

we've learned that truth serum didn't work on russian defectors in the 80's.

Haha! What astute observations.


. . . oh, umm, my bad. I was - thinking. What did you say?

I've learned that Wednesday nights are terrible nights for me to work if I want to stay up all day Thursday and watch the CI marathon on USA.

We have learned that a firecrotch can also be a princess.

Learn that Male detectives don't do mouth to mouth on male victims.

Also learned the wrong way to do CPR.

Also learned, that its ok to use Petroleum around O2, even though its flammable? Wonder why they told us in the hospital never to use Petroleum around O2. hmmmm, guess they didn't want to have to pay KY to use their name brand. {Petroleum is flammable}

Good one!

When did we learn that? I need to go and umm... review the facts of that case... Yeah.
