Crime Shows - Fine Tuning the Criminal Mind?
We are exposed to a plethora of crime shows. The writers are increasingly creative and have a tireless supply of inspiration from real life events. And it seems that life events are being equally affected by the shows themselves!

Early one morning I sat behind a large truck at a stoplight in a major urban business district and found myself thinking about the truck exploding.
