Killing Time
Why has homicide risen 450 percent in North Wales, United Kingdom, since 2003? Deputy Constable Clive Wolfendale blames Quentin Tarantino. "In today's society, more people are likely to spend their evenings watching a Quentin Tarantino DVD than reading a Jane Austen novel. Perhaps we should not be surprised by the consequences," he said. Attempted homicide has also climbed 50 percent since 2003. So apparently, a lot of people rented Kill Bill last year.
