Butch: Alien? Child? Female? --wait... H?A?M? Is Butch in the field of education? his job relevant to him being able to prove something? Butch = he? Is the "they" that could be proven wrong a small group of people? 1-20? 21-50? 51-100? millions? As part of the story with this lateral, did he already prove it to them? Or is he about to? The title, "watch this", makes it sound like a magic trick, is it? is this a true story? were they wrong about something specific? something related to science? pop culture? politics? Is Butch "older" than "they"? | ||

OK, there is an existing story? Who read it or heard about it: Butch? "they"? the people watching Butch? Was this a test whether the story is realistic (ex post)? If this is "not about wanting to" was anyone forced to do something? Butch? "they"? the people watching Butch? Forced by: Butch? "they"? the people watching Butch? | ||

Ok, so "they" wrote a story, and as part of this story they assert that it is impossible to kill oneself in a particular manner with a shotgun? Or did someone else already write the story and "they" are researching it or adapting it somehow? Anyway, somehow they assert that this method of death is impossible, and Butch, being a crime scene investigator knows that it is indeed possible. So Butch decides to prove to his friends that it is possible and kills himself in the process. Is all of this correct? | ||

This is what had me believe that Butch was the CSI. So what is left to find out exactly? | ||

Beccaann: This is what had me believe that Butch was the CSI. I see. My mistake then. Sorry to mislead. I misread that bit. So what is left to find out exactly? who are "they" exactly? | ||

********** SPOILER ******** A Provo man fatally shot himself with a shotgun while trying to disprove a popular TV crime show, according to authorities. Earl F. Ellwanger Jr., 55, accidentally shot himself in the stomach about 7 p.m. Tuesday and died of his wounds Thursday at Rapid City Regional Hospital. Ellwanger saw a television episode of "CSI" in which investigators were trying to show that a woman couldn't have shot herself in the stomach, according to Fall River County Sheriff Jeff Tarrell. "He decided to show that the program was incorrect and didn't realize the shotgun was loaded," Tarrell said. Family members were present at Ellwanger's home in Provo when the accident occurred, the sheriff said. Ellwanger was taken by ambulance to Minnekahta Junction where the ambulance was met by a Black Hills Life Flight aircraft, which flew him to Regional Hospital. The Fall River County Sheriff's Office and Edgemont ambulance service responded. Thanks so much for that hard work all. You really hung in there Tobasi! Good job! | ||

Thank you Wildcard for a nice puzzle. Indeed, most of the time I am rather persistent in solving puzzles. Thanks Beccaann for joining and bringing in new ideas. Until next time. |
