CSI is like crack!

I can't help but watch CSI, cringing the whole time at the stupid production values and cheesey fake CSI-reality. At least they stopped making inkjet printers make dot matrix sounds - I mean, not to mention the obvious fakeness, but when they are so busy showing off their fancy high tech lab gadgets, why would they want to date their printer back to the 80s? Anyway, I was pseudo-enjoying an episode and wondered what funky csi-sci-geek words they use most frequently. So, being a freak, I spent entirely too long today aggregating the season 1 scripts, stripping them to bare text, parsing and other PITA unix stuff, and finally came us with this - the CSI Season 1 word analysis. It would be nice to drop the info into some neat flash-based viz tool - but that'll have to be some other time.
