    He soitanly did.

    The time is twenty-six minutes to one in the afternoon. The year is 1978, and the date is May 6th. What is the significance of this?


    * other than the fact that it's actually not the date today *

    OK, mystery time................

    Detective Knickers had just finished examining the body of Gertrude Munsch which was lying on couch in her plush living room.

    "Mrs. Munsch was hit on the back of her head 3 or 4 times with the butt of that pistol," the sleuth said.

    The .45 lay on the floor near the body. Sheriff Googler was dusting the weapon for fingerprints.

    "I&#39;ve telephoned her husband at his office and only told him to come home, I dislike breaking bad news.Will you do it?", the sheriff said.

    "I&#39;ll do it," said Knickers as he watched the body being removed from the scene. Then he took a seat in a lounge chair to wait for Mr. Munsch.

    The Ambulance drove away just as Mr. Munsch arrived. He came into the living room and asked, "Where&#39;s Gerti ? What&#39;s happened?"

    "I&#39;m sorry to have to tell you that she was murdered about 3 hours ago," said Knickers. "Your cleaning lady found the body and called the sheriff."

    "I can&#39;t find any fingerprints on this gun," said the sheriff. "I&#39;ll send it to the lab."

    Mr. Munsch&#39;s face flushed as he got angry and said, "please find the fiend that clubbed Gertie to death, I&#39;ll put up a twenty-five thousand dollar reward&#33;"

    "Save your money," said Googler. "The murderer won&#39;t be that hard to find." Why?

    It was the husband - he knew that she&#39;d been clubbed to death with the pistol rather than being shot, but the detective never told him that.

    Yes, nicely done Mr.Holmes.

    You prob&#39;ly remember this one Liam, so hold off til next one, K?.

    "I&#39;ve finally earned my place as assistant curator of the museum", said Bob Hobbie to Max, the chief administrator of the Belgra Archeological Museum. "I moved West of the Pakistani dig site and we&#39;ve just unearthed some wonderful coin artifacts."

    "Why did you start digging in a new location?" asked Max.

    "One of the local natives told me that, for many generations, his family had passed down a legend of a lost village and he found a map among his father&#39;s things," said Bob. "His father recently passed away", he added. "The native followed the map and led me to this site on the condition that if we discovered anything of value he would be paid one thousand dollars", explained Bob.

    "And what is it that you found buried,?" asked Max.

    "It&#39;s just terrific," exclaimed Bob, "we found 3 gold coins of various sizes dated 400 B.C., and after properly dusting them off I found them to be in excellent condition." "I quickly paid the native to complete our verbal contract and keep him from trying to claim a portion of the discovery," concluded Bob. After considering for a few moments, Max told Bob that when he returns home he should look for another job&#33;&#33; Why?
