kaberettThis morning I had my first lecture since May 2011.
It was on the topic of atmospheric chemistry and global [climate] change, and it contained a "joke" about prison rape.

The lecture used an extremely high-profile UK criminal/legal case as an example of why getting stats right is important; you probably do already know the details of the case in question.
