Well, I said my logic works in funny ways... http://www.websmileys.com/sm/happy/308.gif OK. Looking literally? Angels. Jacob's dream has them decending and ascending, they looked from the sky at the birth of Christ (and there's Gaurdian Angels), and live underground (since most accept Hell as being there and Satan and his demons are fallen angels). http://www.websmileys.com/sm/happy/1264.gifQuote:

As we await the solving of D-Man's last riddle, I'll give you another mystery.
THE PAPER SCRAP by Jonathan Blade
Three men were gathered around the body of a fourth gentleman in a spacious, well-lit office overlooking New York's Eastside docks. The swarthy faced man examining the body spoke first.
"It's murder, alright, Commissioner. The man was shot twice in the chest, although I'd say offhand the killer missed the heart. See, the blood trail there indicates that the dead man struggled to reach something before he died. But all we have is this paper scrap in his hand."
Joe Cardona held a torn piece, upon which was written:
WOOD
STEEL
MASS
"It doesn't make much sense."
Commissioner Weston turned to the third man in the room, his good friend Kent Allard, a famous aviator. "Langston Wiffle III, the deceased, was a prosperous shipping merchant. That scrap is probably part of a manifest he had with the killer's name on it. He was trying to get the name, but he was too far gone. We can no doubt match the scrap to one of his invoices and thus get the killers name."
Allard glanced at the paper indifferently. He turned and began to look at the desk and file cabinets. "Perhaps."
"That will take some time, Commissioner." Joe Cardona, the swarthy Acting Inspector put in. "I'll need more help."
Allard smiled grimly. "I think not, Inspector. This is the file you want." He held up a blank page with the corner torn off.
"Nonsense, Allard!" Weston snorted. "That isn't even a written file!"
"Nevertheless the corner matches, does it not, Inspector?"
Joe shook his head in wonder. "It does. How does that help the case any? Now it was just a random grab and just luck that there was anything written on that scrap of paper!"
"Wrong! Wiffle wanted a blank piece - to write on himself. He names his murderer and tells you where to look for him. Just read the scrap right." And with that parting shot, Allard limped out leaning on his cane, but a faint crackle of sardonic laughter drifted in among the two men still studying the all important scrap of paper....
WHO IS GUILTY AND WHERE IS HE?http://www.websmileys.com/sm/cool/cool33.gif
right whose allard first off?
secondly hes hiding in the docks right??
but who he is I doont know?
:D
OK. Kent Allard is the Shadow's TRUE identity. Lamont Cranston, Henry Arnuld, and old curio collector Phineas Twambley are real people whose idenitity The Shadow, a master of disguise, borrows from time to time. And no, he's not hiding in the docks. Everything you need to know is on that scrap of paper--if you read it correctly.... :D :D :DQuote:

Even though even if there were 2 they wouldn't have let him die so slowly(someone could've managed to save his life) so I'll use my hunch that the murderer or murderers weren't human. The only 2 that I find in the scrap are wood and steel 2 shots, 2 suspects. Then mass states were they are, at the bottom of the ocean or sea or water, underwater basically because after they killed him the somehow fell outside and sank to the bottom of the water(I thought water because its a way to measure mass, created by Aristotle). Still, wood is lighter so... I don't know(perhaps Aristotle's the answer, and the place would be his tub, where he figured out everything). Anyhow... that's what my answer is... Wood, Steel, and Underwater. It's an incomplete answer though... as wood and steel is well... there had to be more.
This time I'm determined not to let the cat out of the bag as I did before. No. The answer is much simpler than that. It's who (one perp, as the law might say) and where he is. And it's all in those three words--if you read them correctly. :D :nod: ;)Quote:

perhaps not... so maybe:
Woods

(Still in the woods)
Mass(if it's the name)-does sound a bit like Max.
Ah. Jesus. Descended from heaven, rose from the ground (grave), looks from the sky, living underground (spent time in hell but was alive). Anyway, I think I'll go with that. Seems logical, if I was on the right track. :wave:Quote:

It is also the line that defies your answers(well perhaps your Jesus one anyways). And he spent time in hell?! gee... o.o there's something I didn't know...
It's in Paul's writings, I think, Ephesians 4:9 actually it reads "lower parts of the earth." I have heard many theologians call this "hell" but it does leave wiggle room for other interpertations. Thinner than a leaf, something everyone can agree on, but close. I assume the line "that is what it's all about" is the line you are referring to me missing. God. :angel: :wave:Quote:
