What colour was ravenne's spray? Maybe it was grey...

If Pilotbob is lying about what MTH was doing, he could be lying about MTH's imagination as well. So if Pilotbob is lying, MTH could be lying too... If Pilotbob is telling the truth, so should MTH. But their versions are different. Hmmm...

If you absentmindedly dust something, is there necessarily dust on it?

If you polish something, do you necessarily polish it effectively?

If a tree falls in the forest, how much wood does a woodchuck chuck?

Hmmm...

You know, I insinuated that perhaps a certain moderator who had a Large Rare White Penguin for an avatar changed it for fear of being linked to another Large Rare White animal, but which green hat said said the murder interrupted her getting three books formatted in MOBI? (And if moderators wear green hats, why is "Pinwheel" wearing a black beret?)

Of course, maybe the printed words "Moby Dick" point to Rock Lobster himself as the murderer. After all, isn't he the official MobileRead detective (our own "Mobi dick")?

Hmmm. 11:59 EST is getting nearer!

I only know that if you scramble the letters in Moby Dick Reader, you get

A Birded Mockery

Hmm again.

I was going to say that I hate mysteries, but actually that's not true.
I do enjoy reading mysteries, but trying to solve them is quite another thing! I hope the end comes soon!

All I can say is... well... maybe I should wait a day... yea... I'll do that.

Do crows hang around with penguins?
Do penguins frequent crow bars?
Shouldn't I be asleep?

yvanleterrible · 05-16-2010, 08:33 PM

I have proof that Rock Lobster is the killer.

Probably, but this exchange has been very humorous.

But clearly the only real solution is that it was Alex himself who murdered poor pshrynk (OH NOES! my spell checker won't check that!!!1!!!111ONE!!!!!!1111)

Rock Lobster said, “These gooneys (plural) thought they were clever, but clever doesn't buy the milk.” The last line written in the Rock Lobster post was, “Those who are following along and trying to keep up with the story, I gotta say this: Follow what they said and you'll see where the killer (singular) tripped up.” Does this imply one killer and a conspiracy of misdirection?

I didn't even notice that

But I'll win anyway

Is there any special significance about the fact that the Nook was broken? Hmmm...

Other than it appears that he fell on it?

The crime is Oedipal. Rock is Pshrynk's creation after all, and while this reason might seem nuts to most of us, it would have appealed to pshrynk (and his creation) because he is a psychiatrist.
Rock needed the billable hours. This particular clue was set up long before the contest.
Who hasn't wanted to kill their shrink?

Why did Zelda go back in time, or was it forward, when Rock was talking to Patricia? She said she cleaned the crowbar, but wasn't it already clean?

Did Zelda just hire Rock to find the holes in their stories so she could go back in time and clean up any missed evidence? Will Rock live to see tomorrow?
