To actually expect the crow to fall on the birdpaper is simply absurd. It could not have worked very well at all.

What I mean is, maybe Olaf had an unfortunate childhood too.

I just love Sunny's little words that have different meanings behind them.

Theories on TMWBBNH and TWWHBNB Nov 26, 2005 22:36:36 GMT -5

Not everyone wants all the mysteries to be revealed/answered in Book Thirteen. I don't. It would be too easy that way.

But back on topic. It is difficult to identify both of the Sinister Duo, but I think it is quite likely that they are Olaf's siblings. They seem to be rather more clever than Olaf is.

If all of the questions and mysteries are answered, there wouldn't be anything left to imagine and play with. But if none of the mysteries are answered, then it becomes too annoying to bother with speculation anymore.

And Antenora, it can't be 'New commentary columnist', because it's 'New Car------ary Columnist.'

You're right; I was looking at a small scan of the image earlier, but now I have my book.

Possibilities(you have to copy and paste the whole URL, or just go to Onelook.com and input "car*ary"): www.onelook.com/?w=car*ary&ls=a

"Caravansary" is a lovely old word for a hotel, and I think it fits.

If I recall correctly, the word "Caravansary" was guessed to be part of the title of Book the Twelfth a while back.

Well, we should be meeting the Finnish Female Pirates.

What is the whole "Female Finnish Pirates" rumor that everyone believes will happen in Book the Thirteenth, and why do they believe it will happen? Where is the evidence?

I expect that they might resemble eagles, which would mean that the Baudelaires will reunite with the SSHAMH.

If realtors had invaded Curdled Cave, I would have thought that perhaps Aunt Josephine WOULDN'T want to hide there. :S But you never know.

If it was once a V.F.D. base, then she might not have known that it was owned by realtors, and thus she thought that it was still safe.
