It was clearly a crime of passion. Who's passionate around here? (Don't tell my wife I asked that.)

Unless, of course, the murder was meticulously calculated, including the addition of the crowbar to suggest a crime of passion and throw us off the trail--suggesting that the multiple blows were caused by something other than a crowbar.

Unless it WAS a crime of passion, and the murderer immediately regretted their passionate act and left the crowbar, hoping everyone would think that was too obvious--to suggest to us that the multiple blows were caused by something other than a crowbar.

Or maybe pshrynk tripped over the crowbar and hit his body numerous times on the infinite table as he fell (infinite tables can be highly dangerous... especially before finishing).

Or it... maybe when... it might have been... ah...

...I got nothin'. Good thing there's more story coming, eh?

Yvan, being a good and long standing member of MR, had no choice but to relieve pshrynk of the murder weapon and give him several good well-deserved Thouaqqques.

As Sherlock was fond of saying, "When you remove the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth".

But then again, nothing seems impossible or improbable at MR. There's still a 93% chance that I may be wrong.
hm. if any more moderators get bumped off i might take the case to wde next time. it's always good to have a backup plan, in case Mister Lobster is otherwise engaged.

recluse is on the loose?

But it's an infinite table - wouldn't both ends be in the same place? Like an ourborous?

Surely the two ends would be infinitely far apart? And, could an infinite table even exist in a finite space (if you accept that space is finite)?

I know this has probably been brought up before, but if I kill a moderator and email my name do I get to participate?
