The authorities (are we talking Police? Morticians?} Was there a specific reason for suspension of the body? If so, was it do with: viewing the body? convenience? the location? scientific reasons? The reason for the armadillo: It's stink / glandular emisssions? Something to do with it's physique? | ||

The body was suspended as part of the post mortem /autopsy? Had they run out of slabs - too many headless corpses that day? Those present: Include the murderer? Morticians? Police? Anybody else? Anything more relevant about the individuals present at the mortuary? Was the suspension: to conduct experiments? tests? Were they draining the body? Something else? Was there anything else relevant about the headless body? Was all of the head eaten away? skull n'all?) | ||

Is it relevant that the armadillo can curl into a ball? | ||

The body was suspended as part of the post mortem /autopsy? yes Had they run out of slabs - too many headless corpses that day? no Those present: Include the murderer? Morticians? Police? Anybody else? A mixture of police, doctors and others venture in and out, the only two relevant is the victim and the murder Anything more relevant about the individuals present at the mortuary? yes Was the suspension: to conduct experiments? tests? Were they draining the body? Something else? yes Was there anything else relevant about the headless body? no Was all of the head eaten away? skull n'all?) not sure, irrel Is it relevant that the armadillo can curl into a ball? YES | ||

Is Sam (the murderer) caught? Do we need to be more specific as to why the body was suspended? Or is it enough that it was part of the autopsy? Did Sam suspend Jim? Or was it the morticians? Was the armadillo used because it could be concealed and camouflaged more easily e.g. carried unoticed/hidden,(perhaps as a basketball)? Did he roll it away afterwards? Was the creature hidden somewhere afterwards? Is there anything more relevant at the mortuary about Sam? About Jim? At the point of suspension - was the autopsy already complete? As yet unstarted? In the middle of? Was the suspension linked to identifying the body? Weighing the body? Other measurements? Do we need to be more specific about the relationship between Sam & Jim? About their professions? Was Sam doing anything suspicios at the mortuary? Did he say that discovered Jim's body? Was the mortuary the location for the murder? Somewhere else? Relevant? You said that the death was from being run over with a car - would the associated injuries have been fairly clear? Was the body moved by Jim afterwards? Was Jim trying to conceal mode of death? Or was he only trying to conceal the ID? | ||

Ahh... Did Sam kill Jim (perhaps in a fit of pique) and the body was subsequently removed to the mortuary. When Sam regained his composure he knew that he would be the main suspect unless he could conceal Jim's ID? Being a policeman, Jim could easily gain access to the mortuary. He smuggled in the armadillo and got it to eat the face/head of the corpse. Is the armadillo still there hidden? | ||

Ahh... Did Sam kill Jim (perhaps in a fit of pique) and the body was subsequently removed to the mortuary. yes, although it was a long grudge and not a fit of pique ;) When Sam regained his composure he knew that he would be the main suspect unless he could conceal Jim's ID? yes, he knew he'd be a suspect because the man he killed was known to be an enemy of his Being a policeman, Jim could easily gain access to the mortuary. He smuggled in the armadillo and got it to eat the face/head of the corpse. yes, although "smuggled" is not quite correct Is the armadillo still there hidden? no, Sam took it out But all in all, a dem fine job, sir. ;) | ||

All I need now is how the armadillo was disguised and how Sam got it in and out of the mortuary. | ||

Did the armadillo's shape allow it to get in and out of the mortuary (such as, by fitting through a round opening, rolling into the room etc.)? Was Sam in the room with the armadillo when the head was eaten? Did he carry the armadillo into the room? Did he have to hide the armadillo to do so? Was it bowling night at the morgue? Was the armadillo disguised as a different spherical object? Stashed inside a spherical object? | ||

Was the manner of entry the same as the manner of exit? Did he enter singing "Is this the way to Armadillo "?  | ||

Did Sam get any ideas from DOTT? ;) | ||

DOTT indeed! That is one of my all time favourite games... "I can't. My therapist and I have an agreement."  | ||

Yep - one of mine too - I played it again recently (after I couldn't get MI 1&2 to work.) "We may not live to see yesterday!" (Hoagie - whilst in the chron-o-john) And George Washington was an absolute hoot! | ||

NO Did he carry the armadillo into the room? NO Did he have to hide the armadillo to do so? Was it bowling night at the morgue? YES, and this is relevant Was the armadillo disguised as a different spherical object? yessish Stashed inside a spherical object? YES By Simon Downham (Beroean) on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 07:05 pm: Was the manner of entry the same as the manner of exit? yes Did he enter singing "Is this the way to Armadillo "? No, that would've blown his cover! Did the rolled up amarillo armadillo resemble something else? Maybe his name is Amarillo the Armadillo, oh and yes ;) Or is it as Stucco asks - he was able to roll or slot in somehow? yes, he wasen't rolled, but he was fittied through an opening somehow... Did Sam get any ideas from DOTT? ;) Maybe, that's where I get all my ideas, in fact I've based my life on the teachings of that game. ;) DOTT indeed! That is one of my all time favourite games...

Did Amarillo the Armadillo resemble something pertaining to mortuaries? Or was his resemblance to something more generic? Was he passed through some sort of: shoot? mailing slot? Did Hoagie - I mean Sam, decorate Amarillo in any fashion or was his resemblance to the desired object sufficient enough without makeup? (Did he paint a face on the rolled up Amarillo? ;)) So did Amarillo resemble a bowing ball? Was he assumed to be a bowling ball? Are you serious about bowling night at the Morgue? Were the morticians going out on a bowling night? Was he stashed into a bag that contains a bowling ball? | ||

I don't suppose there was a skittle alley in the morgue by any chance - was there?! | ||

Did Amarillo the Armadillo resemble something pertaining to mortuaries? no Or was his resemblance to something more generic? no Was he passed through some sort of: shoot? this is closest, but not much mailing slot? Did Hoagie - I mean Sam, decorate Amarillo in any fashion or was his resemblance to the desired object sufficient enough without makeup? (Did he paint a face on the rolled up Amarillo? ;)) Er, no. You HAVE been playing too much DOTT! ;) So did Amarillo resemble a bowing ball? no Was he assumed to be a bowling ball? no, but... Are you serious about bowling night at the Morgue? Yes. ;) Were the morticians going out on a bowling night? Some were, yes. Was he stashed into a bag that contains a bowling ball? no, BUT...and you were oh so close... By Simon Downham (Beroean) on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 - 09:47 pm: I don't suppose there was a skittle alley in the morgue by any chance - was there?! no, BUT there was a regular alley nearby that is relevant... | ||
| Simon Downham (Beroean)
|
What I meant was.. Was he stashed into a bag MEANT for a bowling ball? Or something else that would normally contain a bowling ball? | ||
| Simon Downham (Beroean)
|
Was there a direct physical communication between the bowling alley and the morgue (through which Amarillo) could have been travelled? Was Sam going bowling? Did Sam put / carry Amarillo rolled up in a container that would normally contain a bowling ball? |
