Hello everybody! I've got a video game called Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box and it is full of puzzles. I want to tell you one: "A girl gets out and walks her dog. After ten seconds, her father comes out and follows her. The dogs starts running between the girl and the father. The girl is walking 2 feet per second and the father is walking 5 feet per second. It takes the dog ten feet per second to get to the girl and the father. How much feet does it take the dog to run between the girl and father until the father catches up to the girl?" (My calculations on remembering the puzzle might not be correct so your answers might be wrong beause of me)
Please leave your answer in the comets. Thank you.

The Case of the Stunt Man
Case of the Stunt Man
One sunny morning, a kid named Alex Hertingz came into the detective agency and said, “I have a case for you.”
“What is it about?” asked Nicole. “Murder?”
“Well, sorta.” says Alex. “My dad, the stunt man named 'The Great Herting' was killed during a stunt.
“The Great Herting!” exclaimed Nicole. “Why, he is the most famous stunt man in the United States! He also has the biggest rival, Camorma the Great.”
“They saw that he was not on the motorcycle when it landed from his motorcycle stunt.” Alex sniffed a little. A tear fell down his cheek. “I went to his funeral a few days ago."
“How did you have a funeral without a body?” asked Nicole.
“With a costume that fell from the sky.” said Alex, pointing at the sky.
Suddenly, Alex said, “Your father wasn't killed, he was kidnapped by a rival plane while he was up in the air, but they left a clue that was told in your story, and showed in your actions.”
What was the clue? Leave your guess in the comments.

The Christmas Sounds of Babione6
Last week MIL, myself, Bobo, and Bear went to the high school's winter musical. They did White Christmas.
My history with White Christmas is special. You see, For three years in a row I traveled with a competition cheer squad to Nashville, TN at Christmas for our cheer nationals. Everything was held in the Opryland Hotel.
Everything.
Our rooms were there and the competition was in their ball rooms. It was actually a brilliant plan bc the cheerleaders, coaches, and families never had to fight traffic or parking, and during down times we could hang out in our rooms instead of in hallways or foyers.
But you didn't really need to know that.
Anywho, the Opryland Hotel has one channel on their t.v.'s that loops White Christmas during...well...Christmas. I honestly don't think I had ever seen White Christmas straight through from start to finish. I'm pretty sure I had seen the whole thing just in bits and pieces here and there.
I'll be honest, I was disappointed with the high school's production. But it did make me want to find the movie to watch at home. So Husband rented it for me the next day and we all sat down to watch it together.
I was so excited when the kids loved it! We watched it again before returning it and before the kids knew that Hubs had taken it back they asked to watch it again. They sing the songs and talk about the scenes and regularly remind us of their favorite parts. Bobo is loving 'What Do You Do With a General?' and I've heard Popeye singing 'I Wish I was Back in the Army'.
It's been fun to see the kids embrace an older movie. I guess it just shows that White Christmas really is a classic that stands the test of time.
What are your favorite Christmas movies? What Christmas cd's are you listening to? Are there any great songs we all need to hit itunes for? Please share.

The Case of the Pink Diamond
The day that Andrew solved the cobra case was only yesterday in the city of Oklahoma City, OK. His friend, Nicole, lived right next door to him. Since he has solved the case, he set up his own detective agency. The first customer that day was a kid named Jack Kiks. “I have a case for you.” said Jack.
“What seems to be the problem?” said Andrew.
“This kid said he has a pink diamond and that a pink diamond is the most valuable type of diamond there is.”
“What is the kid's name?” asked Andrew.
“The kid is named Don Monymaeker.” said Jack. “He's planning to sell it to the highest bidder at the school.”
“Let's go.” said Nicole. “It'll be fun.”
So the group went to the school and found a crowd of kids gathered there. In the middle of the crowd was Don. He was about to make his speech. “Come, one and all!” said Don. “Prepare to be amazed! You are the luckiest kids in the world to see the first pink diamond! I will show you the most valuable diamond there is!”
He pulled the diamond out of the box the he had held it up to the sun. The kids saw their reflection in the diamond. “I am starting the bid at one dollar!”
Before the kids started bidding, Andrew said, “Don't waist your money. It's a fake!”
Why did he say that?
Leave your guess in the comments and I'll post the answer tomorrow evening!

The Case of the Missing Cobra: The Solution
And now....the moment you've all been waiting for:
The Solution to the CASE OF THE MISSING COBRA
The thief, Andrew realized, was the manager. He would have gotten away with it only if he hadn't made a mistake, saying he had seen through the window of the reptile room because there wasn't a window, and if he hadn't held the hat barely when the wind blew. That showed Andrew that he had something in his hat, but he didn't know what. That was until he saw the hat shake. Then there was a hissing sound. Then the manager said,”Oops, forgot to take the kettle off the oven.” Impossible! How can you take a kettle off the oven? You take things out of the oven, not off it. Stoves are what you take things like kettles off. Also, all the windows and doors were closed. How could the manger hear with all the doors and windows closed? Trapped by his mistakes, the manager confessed, and gave back the stolen cobra that was in his hat.
Everyone who guessed the manager got it right! Thanks for participating. I'll see you next Monday with another Andrew Miles case.

Case of the Missing Cobra
One day, a boy named Andrew Miles went to the zoo. He went with his best friend, Nicole. They both dreamed of becoming young detectives one day, they just didn't know it was today.
When they got there, they saw a commotion. The zoo keeper, the guide, and the manager were talking to the police. Andrew overheard the zoo keeper tell the police,” What do you mean this isn't police business! It's completely police business! An $1,000 cobra was stolen!”
“What's up with him?” asked Nicole. “It looks like he got shot with an anger dart.”
“ I heard that he has just lost an expensive cobra.” said Andrew. “He's contacted the police about it.”
“Let's go check it out !” Nicole said.
So the the two friends headed toward the scene. When the police saw the the children, they told the children to move back. So the friends stayed back. But they were close enough to hear what they were saying about the robbery. Andrew spotted the reptile room that had no windows. The zoo keeper told his story, “Well, I was doing my duties, then I heard the alarm ring, so I ran to find out what was going on, and I saw the manager run out the door of the reptile room. He was holding his hat.”
“No I didn't!” said the manger. “ I was checking to see the snakes through the window. When I heard the siren I went immediately went to the center of the zoo, because that where you're supposed to go when the siren goes off.”
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and the hats of the men were nearly blown away. They all held their hats but the manager held his barely. The hat shook. Then there was a hissing sound. “ Oops, forgot to take the kettle off the oven.” the manger said. He headed toward his house that he lived in near the zoo. All the windows and doors were closed.
Andrew suddenly said, “ Wait! Don't you want to hear who the thief was?”
The manager said, “Oh, so you think you know.”
“Yes I do. The thief is.....”

Sunday Delights for 11/23/08
R.C.'s Sunday Delights:
1. Sooners 65, Red Raiders 21
2. Saturday morning chat with my 3 year old daughter at 9:30 - in bed
3. the open possibilities of new frontiers
4. my wife's femininity - (she doesn't have the desire to be "one of the boys" and belch or pass gas purposefully with others around) - thank you Bridget, for being a lady
5. discovering our Sprint contracts were up in June instead of December like we thought
Now, it's your turn. If you read last week's Sunday Delights, you'll notice the stark lack of comments - even from my wife. Surely, some of you have something that delights you. Don't you?

The above cartoon is from Aug. 2nd's Prickly City. I once did a sermon illustration on the kind of impact Jesus should have in our lives using diet coke and mentos. It was good. This is funny. If you've never tried putting mentos in diet coke, you totally should. Check out this website. Simply amazing.If you have tried the mentos and diet coke trick, please share your adventures.
