It's obvious my career as a puzzle maven has come to an embarrassingly bad end. I make up a simple puzzle and no one can solve it. I must have really overestimated you stupid jerks. You've made me look bad in front of my friends and families.

So to shake off that fiasco, I've decided to jump on the skeptic bandwagon and become a mythbuster. Humble B. Wonderful, Mythbuster.
Awesome.
 
So here's the first myth I'm going to test: Cats are very agile and lithe creatures.

Conclusion: Busted! Testing shows they can't even dodge a thrown hammer.

I've also found that cats are unlikely to land on their feet if you thow them at the ground.

I can't see why people turned on Captain Avenger, when his comment is no more stupid or irresponsible than the original blog.

Or is there some kind of philosophical point that everyone but the "gifted" have missed. Personally I find any kind of anecdotes or comments involving wanton violence against any animal, to be abhorrent.

bye bye.

An so the Queen of the one liners speaks again.... But your highness, I used the word wanton violence. Perhaps you were thinking of the Chinese dumpling.

Wanton as defined by your new Websters dictionary, and simlarly by the original English Oxford dictionary: "Wanton;, having no just foundation, or provocation".

Quite clearly jumping on a turtle which would otherwise harm you, or stand in the way of a noble quest, is not Wanton Violence, it is a justifiable use of force, an not always deadly.

My conscience is clear!

I tested that myth when I was a child, by throwing and spinning my cat above my bed, and to the cat's credit she mostly landed on her feet. Except the time she landed on the edge of the bed and shredded the sheets, boy was my mom mad at that cat.

Hey Humble, that old myth, about how cats are fireproof, is also BUSTED!

I'm glad you busted that myth. Because it would be very bad if the COULD dodge a thrown hammer. They're not worth the price of bullets.

Tom.... L.R.F.

 
I shared your puzzle with literally dozens of my friends.... and no one has gotten it yet! Could you give us a "bigger" hint... or at least some indication of how to approach the puzzle. Oh... the Hermana de las Piranas name has a significantly different meaning in Portuguese than in Spanish. And it is not a very polite one. Thank you for you continued ranting. Tom in Nebraska.

I think you should be "Humble B. Wonderful, the fucking bitch of an ass-hole Maven". The premise would be you post a gentle inviting blog and when people respond you unleash a tirade of insults strewn with foul language...I mean really cut deep! Similar to the way you handled the first post! That's beautiful.

Or, maybe you could make less complex puzzles where there are two answers, an obvious one and a more thoughtful one...when people guess the obvious one FUCKING UNLEASH the wrath of the Bitch of an ass-hole Maven on their asses...informing them they suck because the more complex one is obviously the answer.

Or, just be the blog Maven.

yes, i hope science is close to finding out if cats are little as they seem.

Lithe is a different word than little. That's why come they're spelt diff'rent.

That's why I subscribe to this blog.

Also; I second Humble's conclusion. The cats that live outside my house are neither agile nor lithe. They do occasionally kill mice, though, and that is why I continue to offer them food.

But what about a hammer that is not moving? Huh? Did your testing consider that? Watch the cat nimbly avoid it!

It's already the third day of the contest and my confidence in solving the unsolvable puzzle of Humble B. Wonderful is growing stronger thanks to the encouraging pat on the shoulder from her. My lucky pen and my friend Koko ( a flat coated retriever trained in a game of fetch, catching a ball and long jogs) will keep me company in this not easy task. I also decided to start a diary which will help me stay focused on the mission and follow my train of thought.

A Mazing Diary

Day 3

I discovered that this is actually a poem. I am the first to realize this yet from a number of competitiors which automatically makes me 1. Here is the beginning:

2. (always start backwards)

The BEST spoken designee
Known to most as Rosemary
(As you will later see
She was LOST and fancy-free)
Dived LOW deep in the Red Sea
To find a sponge or two or three
But what she GOT was a VIP
Pass ( yea like you find these in the sea)
CHOPPED BIT by BIT but still a key
to the end of our mystery.


Do I get a cigar?

well if they can't dodge a hammer, then it's safe to say they can't dodge a wrench or a ball either; right?

I don't think it is safe to say they can't dodge a wrench or a ball. Those need to be tried several times with several different cats or several different people and the same cat.
