Criminals Caught By Stupidity (their own) is this week’s Mystery Question. I had a lot of fun finding these by first starting out by googling “Criminals Hoisted on Their Own Petard” but I didn’t find many examples which surprised me. Someone being hoisted on their own petard is a phrase from a speech in Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. The phrase’s meaning is …

The Dark Guest by Sarah Hamaker is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line: “You have a date tonight?” Rainer Kopecek smiled from his seat by the window, which overlooked the manicured lawn of the Happy Hill Assisted Living Facility.

I saw this verse on …
Courtroom Stories–Mystery Question
Courtroom Stories is this week’s Mystery question. I literally spit my coffee over some of these. First the photo and Scripture.

The photo was taken from my drive one afternoon when I saw these beautiful clouds. …
More Crazy Justice Crimes–Mystery Question
More Crazy Justice Crimes is this week’s Mystery Question, but first the photo and verse. I thought the butterfly went very well with last week’s photo of the lantana.
