    I want to know more about this newspaper that prints the exact time of death in its obituary columns.

    Bob Guppy, died October 7, 4:32 and -- wait for it -- OK, seventeen seconds!

    That newspaper editor is very very thorough.

    I guess we'll also never know why Aunt Jane wanted her grave marked by a giant eraser.

    Wait! I get it! It's a clue from beyond the grave! She knew she was going to be rubbed out! Ha ha ha!
