Luke and Leia thought they were twins, but actually they were triplets. That scene from STAR WARS III is to be re-edited when they release STAR WARS VII and unveil the third sibling (also powerful in the force) named Larry.

Larry has been working with a guy named Moe and

It was a corrupt developer dressed up as a ghost to scare everyone away. And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!

Lola is a man in drag.

It turns out, ultimately, it is Slim you don't want to mess around with.

Amos Moses killed the sheriff and hid his corpse in a gator infested swamp.

The singer reveals that she was the one who killed Andy and that she had also previously killed her promiscuous sister-in-law and disposed of her body.

When Jesus resurrected, he looked down at himself, saw the still-extant sword injury, screamed "What the fuck!?!" and fainted.

The dad was right: Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the bridge because he was a damned fool.

The narrator was the murderer. He glossed over a few things he did, but never actually lied to readers.

One of the victims (the sixth) was actually the murderer and faked his own death.

All of the suspects were in on it together.

The third victim's brother was the killer. He killed the others to hide his motive.

Rocky loses; but it's really a win, for reasons only the testosterone-addled understand.


Fred decides he can surely out-think the stock market, quickly betting himself into homelessness on "junk bonds." Velma finds him dirty and crack-addicted, cleans him up and marries him, only to have a washed-up Daphne beg for the job of housekeeper in their Madison Avenue home, where the two sleep together behind Velma's back. Velma finds out when their love-child is fourteen years old. . . and something about being Governor. . .
