Murder

Did that get your attention?

We were informed in the paper today that the Philippines had more recorded murders than any other country in 2004 as stated by the Guiness Book of World Records. (not sure why there is a 4 year lag between getting these statistics) There were over 3,500 murders that year. While that is alot, surely other countries have more. Maybe they just aren't reported.

The Filipino spokesman, always the optimist, stated - "While it is good to acheive world records, we should focus on more important areas." Well said.

Do you think the 4 year hiatus is because the researchers were murdered?
