So two more things related to my "All the shit goes down in spring" hypothesis:
1) More craziness this weekend: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123887647672989879.html
2) Quick -- what's the peak month for suicide?
Yup, I said "December" too.
But according to this group, it's actually May:

"It is a harsh irony that the partial remission which most depression sufferers experience in the spring often provides the boost of energy required for executing a suicide plan," explains Professor Thompson. "People coming out of depression have a higher suicide rate than those who are severely depressed and this is exacerbated by the season. Spring is a time for new beginnings and new life, yet the juxtaposition between a literally blooming world and the barren inner life of the clinically depressed is often too much for them to bear."
