Today I discovered that people here apparently take their number plates with them when they sell their cars. I hope no Canadians try this when they come over to England, otherwise they may find they have a slight prison problem on their hands. This strange state of affairs begs the question: how do you get a number plate in the first place? And where from? I am continually confused by everything that happens here. If you think England is screwed-up, come here and prepare to be really muddled.
Having spent some of this evening watching Die Hard 2, I can also tell you that they took out every swear word in the film, which as anyone who has watched Die Hard will know, is pretty much all the dialogue. It seemed a bit pointless seeing as it wasn't on a 'family' channel, and also since kids can watch WWE constantly here and see blokes bashing chairs over each others' heads.
I started reading Patricia Cornwell's account of the Jack the Ripper murders and who the Ripper was today. A strange choice of reading matter you may think, but I explain this by my Psychology background. I was however slightly perturbed by the fact that the DSM whatever version we're on now lists the symptoms of psychopathy as lying, stealing, substance abuse, financial irresponsibility, an inability to deal with boredom, cruelty, running away from home, promiscuity, fighting, and lack of remorse. Approximately half of which I can at some point have laid claim to. Does this make me a budding psychopath?
For those of you who also doubt your own mental stability, either because of this list or just in general, a little test. This is allegedly used in some tests of psychopathy, though I have yet to actually come across any that use it, so think of it as a reading comprehension test with a slight twist instead. Maria has probably come across this, but I don't know how many of the rest of you will have.
While at the funeral of her own mother, a young woman met a man whom she did not know. She thought he was amazing, so much her dream man that she fell in love with him immediately; but she never asked for his number, which she deeply regretted. A few days later the girl killed her own sister.
Assuming no facts other than what is written above, tell me:
What was the girl's motive in killing her sister?
Apparently we should watch out for those of you who answer this correctly, as you think like a psychopath. So let's hope you all get it wrong. I will post the answer in the comments...............
