You might have to also have grown up there or been there to get it.

MT sounds something like empty

He meant to say state postal abbreviation.

Postal code is usually read as zip code.

A man is found dead in a room with 53 Bicycles.
Why is he dead?
Satyr
06-17-2003, 23:05
Cause he died. And then ALL the bikes fell on top of him. But really, he was a CHAIN smoker.

How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour.

Why is he dead?
Because Bicycle is a playing card brand, and 53 of them means that he played solitaire until he died because he could not finish; or he lost all his money to a cheat in a poker game and committed suicide, or possibly was the cheat himself, killed after he was discovered to be unfair.

You are supposed to add I before E except after C. There is no C or I before the E to warrant its use as a sole letter.

Really? I was going to guess 'stew,' although I think that term is more modern than medieval times (even if it is in VI).

There are no e's. Read it once and figured it straight away.
