If I was happy last week, then this week I’m ecstatic! My edits have been turned in (of course, I’ll have at least one more set to do) and I got a new hair cut!
Now onto last week’s Mystery Question: Below are four alibis. Three are actual alibis that criminals have used. I made up one. Can you pick it out?
- A man going twice the speed limit crossed over to hit a pedestrian who was motioning him to slow down, then he turned around and tried it again. The driver’s alibi? The alignment in his car was bad.
- A man going double the speed limit in a school zone on a suspended license claimed he was a Texas Republican Sovereignty and couldn’t be arrested.
- A teenager was caught coming out of his vacationing neighbor’s bedroom window. His excuse? He’d lost his dog and thought it might have gotten into the house somehow.
- After being denied vacation weekend, a sergeant claimed he shot his master sergeant six times, killing him because he was on a diet.
And the answer is…#3. Congrats to everyone who guessed correctly! Now onto this week’s Mystery Question:
Below are four statements. Three are true. Which one did I make up? You can google the answers, but try to guess first. 😉
- Donkeys kill more people annually than planes.
- If Barbie were life-size, she’d stand 7 feet, 9 inches tall and her measurements would be 42-22-34.
- Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.
- Walt Disney was afraid of mice.
Okay, Super Sleuths which statement did I make up? Leave your answer in the comments and I’ll enter you in a contest for a book from my library.

You made up number two. Number one is a popular but false statement. Congrats on the haircut and finishing edits!

Oh, my goodness, Monique! That’s the only one I didn’t fact check. lol. Since I’ve know a couple of people who were killed by donkeys or mules, I assumed it was true. Thanks for pointing it out.

Good, one for #1, Suzanne. 😉 Thanks for stopping by.
I’m going with #3.

Hi Mary. We’ll see next week if apples are better than coffee to wake you up. In fact, I’m going to see in a few minutes as I cut me a Gala apple and eat it.
I’ll say #2 this time. Congrats on getting closer to that final edit set.
Author
Thanks, Tim. We’ll see next week if you got it!

We’ll see, Linda. Thanks for dropping by.
I believe all of them but #2. I can accept if Barbie was 7 feet, nine inches tall, her measurements would be 42-22-34. However, how did anyone come up with her height?
After doing a search, it may be that only one of these is TRUE. HMM! Just wondering.

I found evidence that two of them I researched were supposed to be true, Edward. I didn’t research a 3rd one. lol
Author
Good question, Edward. lol Thanks for joining the conversation.
I’ll say #3.
Author
We’ll see Judy. Thanks for stopping by!
I am guessing #1.
Author
We’ll see, Gloria. Thanks for joining in on the conversation!
I’ll pick #2 as false. I love your new haircut!
Author
Thanks, Paula. I’m enjoying it. 😉 And we’ll see if it’s #2 next week.
I heard measurements very close to #2 on the radio this morning! I’ll say #4
Author
We’ll see, Joan. Thanks for stopping by.
#2 is false! Haircut looks great!
Author
Thanks, Shelia! We’ll see next week!
Congrats on completing your edits! #2 is false.
Thanks, Caryl! We’ll see next week!
#2–nice haircut!
Author
Thanks, Jeanna! And we’ll see next week if it’s #2.

We’ll see! Thanks for stopping by.
I have to agree with the majority and say #2 is the made-up statement. While I agree that Barbie would be vastly out of porportion, I doubt she would be over 7′ tall,
Congrats on turning in your edits! I see you celebrated by getting a new hair cut, I think it looks great on you! 🙂

Thanks, Trixi. I’m enjoying my shorter hair…wish I’d thought of it earlier this summer! lol. And we’ll see what Barbie’s proportions are Tuesday. 🙂
