33 of the Day

NYTimes:

BAGHDAD — The United Nations says at least 733 Iraqis have died during violence in January, excluding casualties from an embattled western province.

The figures issued Saturday by the U.N.'s mission to Iraq show 618 civilians and 115 members of the security forces were killed in January. But the UNAMI statement left out deaths from ongoing fighting in Anbar, due to problems in verifying "the status of those killed." The figures also leave out insurgent deaths.

Well, as long as they didn't manipulate the numbers, or anything...


UPDATE:

Other 33's:

A technology expert fell to his death on Tuesday from the London skyscraper housing investment bank JP Morgan’s European headquarters.

Gabriel Magee, 39, fell from the 33-floor building in London’s financial hub Canary Wharf at around 8:00 am (0800 GMT), police said. He landed on a ninth floor roof.

Magee was a vice-president in JP Morgan’s corporate and investment bank technology division and had worked for the US bank for a decade, his employers said.

I love that the JP Morgan building was 33 stories.
