'Criminal Minds' is an American police procedural television program that premiered September 22, 2005, on CBS. The series follows a team of profilers from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) based in Quantico, Virginia. The BAU is part of the FBI National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime. The show differs from many procedural dramas by focusing on the criminal rather than the crime itself. CBS announced in October 2009 that Legacy Interactive will develop a video game based on the show. The game will require players to examine crime scenes for clues to help solve murder mysteries. The interactive puzzle game was released in 2012 but did not feature any of the voices of the show's cast nor were the cast involved with the project. On March 14, 2012, CBS renewed Criminal Minds for an eighth season.

’Murder by Numbers ‘ is produced and directed by Barbet Schroeder. It stars Sandra Bullock, Ben Chaplin, Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt. It is loosely based on the Leopold and Loeb case (Nathan Freudenthal Leopold and Richard Albert Loeb), two wealthy University of Chicago law students who murdered 14-year-old Robert ‘Bobby’ Franks in 1924 and were sentenced to life imprisonment. The duo were motivated to murder Franks by their desire to commit a perfect crime. Once apprehended, Leopold and Loeb retained Clarence Darrow as counsel for the defense. Darrow’s summation in their trial is noted for its influential criticism of capital punishment and retributive, as opposed to rehabilitative, penal systems.

A clubbed thumb is a term used to describe the genetic clubbing of one or both thumbs. It is characterized by a short, fat thumb that is round. The thumb nail is wide and short. The scientific term for 'clubbed thumb' is Brachydactyly type D or 'BDD. It is usually hereditary, although it could also have been caused by frostbite, or it could have been an injury to the growth plate in childhood. The condition is sometimes known as potter's thumb or murderer's thumb, a name originally coined by gypsy fortune tellers. The last seems to be related to palmistry. Owners of this mark have a most intense obstinacy and are expected to be filled with an implacable burning rage and even commit a crime.

’Killer ‘ is a multi-player folk variant of straight pool in which each player is assigned a set number of ‘lives and takes one shot per inning to attempt to pocket.Usually if the player scratches then an additional life is lost. It is a popular pub game because it can involve a potentially unlimited number of players, and offers the opportunity for each player to bet a small amount of money for a reasonable return in winner-takes-all. There are often other local subrules such as potting the black (8 ball), or any two balls in one shot, gives the player an extra life, or that failure to pocket a ball on the break shot does not cost a life (in which case the shooter shoots again). The game is sometimes called killer pool.
