sneaky? MOI? Nope. It’s just that this week is an audit week at work, so if I don’t get my crap done, I get yelled at. And as much as my on-line pride is worth to me, not getting yelled at is worth a LOT more. Tell you what, I’ll e-mail you my work e-mail address, and we can do it that way?

OK, let’s get ready to rumble.

A man is lying dead in a room. Near him, a large pile of gold and jewels is strewn across the floor. A chandelier attached to the ceiling is directly over the body, and the one large window is open. The police, amazingly enough, have not been called, nor will they be.

How come?
