No but I guess this thread is.  
I’m going to the upstairs kitchen. blowing out the pilot lights and turning the gas up all the way. On my way to the basement I’m closing all the windows. Of course the boiler in the basement is still burning. I give the place about 40 minutes till it blows up.

I am still in the library, reading murder mysteries and sipping hot chocolate with marshmallows in it.

That odd thumping noise from one of the walls seems to have stopped by now.

And of course, I post too late. Must be the marshmallows.

Seems to me that **Hot Buttered Toast** has been thoroughly toasted, and is now steaming hot. Please pass the butter.

Well, _someone_ had to say it.

So now that Zebra blew up the house, murdering everyone (and committing arson, too), who was the real killer?
