New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?

WETA COULD BE BETTA
After having written in Social Media about this place as a must visit tourist attraction within the Wellington region, I visited the Weta Workshops for a guided tour today.
And unfortunately my verdict is that Weta Workshops is an ok thing for tourists but nothing more.
I suppose it depends on what one might have expected beforehand. The tour guide named Logan was himself an actor and film production teamster and without doubt a highlight of the tour with his insight to all the movies etc Weta has been asked to "prop up".
The tour is overly expensive for admission and if the screen photo went with the admission price, it would have been somewhat more value for money instead of the $20 per photo asked for.
Maybe the best things I saw were being a mere few centimetres away from one of the actual Oscars and Baftas award trophies that Richard Taylor and his team have won.
So now Wellington has really just four things to boast about to tourists - Brewtown, Zealandia, Te Papa and The Beehive.
