I was reading List of countries by intentional homicide rate by decade and one statistic jumped out at me: the US murder rate quadrupled in just three years from 1904 to 1907. What could be some possible explanations for this jump? Mũeller (talk) 04:03, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

:Googling "murder rate increase between 1904 and 1907" yields a number of entries, including this one,[https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2376&context=jclc] which suggests that changes in the collection of the data led to an apparent jump in the crime stats. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 07:10, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

There was a print of a famous painting that hung over my wife's childhood bed that got lost in a move. She talks about it sometimes and I want to get a print for Valentine's Day but she can't remember what it was called. The painting was of a girl in a green dress on a park bench with some books in a leather strap. She thinks it was from the Louvre. Anyone have any ideas?
