Forgive me if my talents in searching are inadequate, but I've searched through the forum and didn't find anything regarding the ritual murder in S.H. I was wondering if anyone else noticed that by cutting the arms off at the elbows and sewing them onto the armpits, that makes a four armed figure..... like a kicker man?

The most I can find about it is in Barrymastiff's thread "Random Thoughts" from november of 2008. click here
It appears that yours is the first thread dedicated to it.

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout

Thanks Kev! That's exactly what I was looking for! I wasn't looking to start one solely on that one episode in the book, I was looking for discussion about the entire book. BTW, did you catch the "Traps" tie in? Too cool!

Keep in mind, however, that FPW himself said that, "The Q'qr were retrofitted humans."

I thought the Q'qr were extinct in this era.

I pictured the Q'qr as bigger.

On page 182, when Jack and Weezy are helping Mrs. Clevenger (why Mrs, is she married?) set off the traps by the sponge, Mrs. Clevenger says "someday he may do harm to creatures that must not be touched. Should that happen, he will pay dearly."

That creature reminded me more of Mauricio in "Conspiracies" than a Q'qr.

FAQ
"It means 'Ask the next question.' Ask the next question, and the one that follows that, and the one that follows that. It's the symbol of everything humanity has ever created." Theodore Sturgeon.
But wasn't Mauricio a monkey? It's been a while since I read that one, but I got the clear impression of a monkey.
