I like reading the Wall Street Journal online. There's an article today about folks using the Wayback Machine. I found it amusing since last year I'd taught a legal investigation class wherein I mentioned this as an excellent resource. WSJ concurs :)

Today's middle column story is about police learning crime scene techniques in the Frick Museum. We did something kind of similar in my class, only with Clarence Darrow. But I digress.

This part of the WSJ article had me chuckling: Standing in front of El Greco's "The Purification of the Temple," David Grossi, an NYPD captain, recognized Jesus as the painting's central figure, characterized the scene as chaotic and explained the work's use of light and color.

"The gang unit would probably be called in," he continued. "It appears there's grand larceny here, felony assault there, and Jesus would probably be charged with inciting a riot." Counting 17 people in the scene, he added: "Good thing there are plenty of witnesses."
