    I learned that Red Oil O can be used to lift prints from white or thermal paper.

    I also learned that Grissom knows Anissa Rawji at the University of Toronto and Alexandre Beaudoin from the Surete of Quebec.

    LOL me too!! Now everywhere I go I would see something... like for example when I see the waitress talking over my food, my mind would play a slow motion animation (like in CSI) of the saliva leaving lips and sprayed onto my food... :rolleyes: (I know, ewwww!) ... I lose appetite easily now :lol:

    Or like, when you touch something you're leaving epithelials on it, right? (hey this could be things I learnt #27) So when I eat in a restaurant where the spoons and straws are exposed, I imagine there could be epithelials from 47189324 people on it :lol: And dust... and bacteria... and from flies... Makes me wanna bring my own spoon and straws from home...

    Maybe it's just my too high imagination :rolleyes: But I blame Greg and Mia for this :p

    #28 That you can extract DNA from hair and epithelials (Seriously, I didn't know this before)
    #29 And that you could know someone's DNA from mosquitoes, leeches, and maggots that bites/feeds on them :eek:
    #29 There's a forensic term called DUNS (Dead Upstairs Neighbor Syndrom) :lol: - from CSI LV 'Lady Heather's Box'
