ur ransum note: we assesses it
I spent two days this week at a forensic linguistics workshop, where an ex-FBI agent told us about how forensic linguistics helped in identifying the Unabomber (you can read all about in this book). He talked to us about threat assessment in communications from the bad guys, telling us how to tell whether the threat looks genuine or not, and about creating a profile from the communication (written or spoken) and so on and so forth. It was all very exciting and that’s what I want to do when I grow up!
I also likes me lolcats ‘n’ cheezburgers, so me Colin sends me this: We has ur kitteh. Send ransum. Perfick.
