I was told the Administrators are looking for persons to submit a mystery case to solve, and if chosen they will give you a free subscription to Slueth. If this is true, I'd like to give it a try & submit one. If anyone has done this, or knows about it, please let me know. 2-4-6-8, who do we a-ppre-ci-ate......SLUETH!! Take care everyone, & I'm outta here for today. Bye

If I could get myself out of this darn writer's block I find myself trapped in (for the past month), I'd give a try as well.

OK...time for this sleuth to go to bed...it's been a looooooong night and I'm glad to be home.

Is this still around? Will one still get a free subscription?

Jun-16-2004 18:33

Jun-16-2004 18:49

Cool. I should try it. Anyone know where to send the case?

Jun-16-2004 18:51

case idea (sorry)

["Cut" scene] So I hears you're off doing good work, Sirgarr. Checking in on all those heirs of Pansy's friends. Be a shame if anything "happened" to you...

By the way - jojo227, you actually need to send a case, just a case idea won't get you a free subscription.

What about this:

[The Mind-Boggling Case of the Unknown Force]

I was taking a study break with some friends this week when I decided to tickle one of them, to relieve the stress level of the room. Naturally, revenge was expected, so I ran into my room then tried to close the door behind me.

Unfortunately, there was an equal and opposite force and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the door shut. Desperate and at my wit's end, I tried to peep through the crack in the door.

To my horror (!!), I couldn't see anyone outside! Curiosity finally got the better of me and I opened the door to investigate. No one was in sight! Apparently, I was the only childish person in the study group.

'Fine deduction, Diane. But then, how do you explain the pushing against the other side of the door?' I asked myself.

I looked down: A single stuffed toy had come between the door and its frame, jamming the attempted closure.

It was indeed an equal and opposite force. My own.

(Shd I have put this on "Real Life and Hilarious Things Instead? I already mis-posted it on another thread..)
