From Cartoons to Dark Poetry & Making Money Online... A Composer of Content Speaking:
I like online writing, because there are so many new tools and opportunities to it. This is not only a brand new market, it has also some brand new ways to tell your stories and get an audience. As an online writer, you are also something like a "multimedia director", working with text, pictures, audio, video, links, news feeds and so on... In fact, you are a "composer of content". Writing has become... well... exciting again! Online, I returned to an old love of mine: absurd, weird and/or pitch black comedy, comics and cartoons, with characters like Hard Boiled Harry, Silly Willy or Big Dick.
You'll find me and my online work mainly on Triond and on the HubPages, but I have also a few blogs... and now I'm squidding too! Isn't that... WOW?

So You Think Gerard the Devil Is Still Alive & Kicking?
A possible solution to the free online Murder Game "The Mystery of the Devil's Castle"
- The Mystery of the Devil's Castle
- The whole story is here!
- Isabelle Dances (performed by the Devil himself!)
- And maybe you can listen to some Gerard the Devil songs first?
- Les Dunes
- The Ballad of the Mermaid and the Monk
- May Colven
- Another song about a medieval serial killer...
But that's not what you are here for. Here is Mr. Gilbert Leduc speaking:
My Dear,
How could you know what really happened?
Looking at the photographs, you could see the resemblance between Gerard and the so-called Luke Bogaert. And then there was of course the voice of Luke Bogaert and the voice of Gerard the Devil on the recordings you heard.... Didn't you hear they share the same voice?
What happened? Gerard obviously made a deal with Luke Bogaert and took his place. Gerard wanted to take revenge on Lisa who dumped him in Paris... and on me, because I created the singing serial killer hype.
Indeed, after the show at the Devil's Castle, Lisa and Gerard left and went into hiding, first in The White Lion and later on in Paris. When she had spent all his money on drugs, she dumped him.... And now she wants to start all over again with her life and make some money out of her story... and of the old songs of Gerard the Devil....
No, Gerard the Devil was not murdered and he didn't commit suicide! He simply stepped out of the public life he hated and of his relationship with Isabelle, who was getting really possessive. When he saw Lisa, he thought to himself: "What a wonderful world!" - And he was gone....
But what he did not know, was that Lisa would be the first woman who dared to dump him... How could she!... So, Gerard the Devil wanted revenge. And when he heard that I was organising detective teambuilding games, he decided to use these events to strike back.
Gerard the Devil is still very alive and kicking! And the stories that Isabel, Bonduelle or the fake Luke Bogaert told you, were lies. Nothing but lies and fantasy.
Sincerely,
Gilbert Leduc
This Is Really Me Alive & Squiddin'!
Solutions: Are You A Super Detective?
Case 2: If a dead body really starts to smell, it means that death has set in more than twenty-four hours ago. Karin killed her roommate when she heard that Lisa would get the main part in the new Tarantino movie. Then she waited to call the police until she had an alibi.
Case 3: The bite of a giant Python will not poison you. Pythons strangle their prey.
Here's my favorite link:
Nostradamus, Barack Obama, the Coming of the AntiChrist and the End of the World in 2012
Feed: Nostradamus, Barack Obama, the Coming of the AntiChrist and the End of the World in 2012
What faith should we place in predictions of Nostradamus concerning a black president and the end of the world in 2012?
The answer is: none! But nevertheless, there are circulating on the internet some really idiot but also possibly dangerous rumours, featuring some so-called "Nostradamus prophecies", the coming of the AntiChrist and the End of the World in 2012. The theories are extremely idiot, but they get extremely dangerous too when you think of the lunatics who might be taking action, just because of that sort of rumours, that are widely believed by Conspiracy Theorists and their followers, and they are promoted through a wide range of White Power websites. So, I thought, some debunking was needed. And then I got the producer of a YouTube video all over me...

- A True Aztec Treasure Hunt - Part One: The Lost Dutchman Gold Mine
- The Superstition Mountains have been a place of mystery and legends since only the Pima Indians lived in Arizona. There are uncountable ancient cliff dwellings and haunted caves and tales about lost gold and treasure...
- A True Aztec Treasure Hunt - Part Two: The Lost Aztec Treasure
- According to R.G. Babcock there is an explanation for all these tales about a curse and lost gold in Arizona and New-Mexico. Somewhere in the 19th century two men from the Midwest and an old Indian Chief were in an Arizona cave filled with treasure... A hundred years later R.G. Babcock received a letter, describing a first-hand account of the lost gold of the Aztec Empire... R.G. Babcock wrote a book about it: Chicomoztoc, a search for the Aztec Treasure and the missing history of the Aztec Empire.
- A True Aztec Treasure Hunt - Part Three: The Treasure of the Cursed Superstition Mountains
- A certain "Norman" told author R.G. Babcock the story of an old Blackfoot Indian about a large horseshoe shaped outcropping of sandstone, called the Painted Rock, where the cursed Aztec Treasure could be hidden...

- The Mystery of the Devils Castle
- A free online murder and mystery game in the old city of Ghent (Flanders, Belgium) with some free downloads of creepy soundscapes and songs by singer-songwriter and presumed serial killer Gerard the Devil!
- Visiting Bruges-la-Morte, a medieval ghost city
- One of those many timeless carriages, which are available to tourists, stopped for me. The coachman looked very, very old... but he offered me kindly a free ride. - 'Sir,' I said, 'you who drives day and night over the cobblestone roads of Bruges-la-Morte, you must have seen a lot of strange and terrible things... For instance, the ghosts of Bruges, sir ... Are they real? Or do they exist only in our imagination?' - 'Ah, buddy,' the coachman smiled. "I dwell now for over five hundred years through Bruges-la-Morte, and believe me: I never have seen a ghost here!'
- The Mystery City Game and Quiz
- You can play the game with one, two three or more individual players, or in a team building concept with your 'task force' against one or more 'task forces'. The only things you need are, for each team or player, a printout of the page and a pc or laptop with internet connection.
- Christopher Marlowe
- Christopher Marlowe, English dramatist, so-called "father of English tragedy", the "inventor" of dramatic blank verse, possibly died in a tavern fight, possibly was a spy... and possibly wrote the works of William Shakespeare too!
- Gustav Meyrinck meets the Golem in the old city of Prague
- In Jewish folklore, 'a golem' is an animated being created entirely from inanimate matter. In modern Hebrew the word literally means 'cocoon', but can also mean 'fool' or 'stupid'; in Yiddish it is a slang insult, meaning 'clumsy' or 'slow'. The name appears to derive from the word 'gelem', which means 'raw material'. In the Bible, 'a golem' refers to an embryonic or incomplete substance, an 'unshaped form'. Today, 'a golem' stands for an entities serving man under controlled conditions but hostile to him in others.
- The Angels of Mons
- Fact or fiction? In 1930, the British newspaper The Daily News had a story that first was published by a New York newspaper. If a former member of the Imperial German Intelligence Service was to be believed, British troops had in 1914 really seen what they called The Angels of Mons...
- Are You a Super Detective?
- Let me tell you what we are going to do tonight... As you all know, this is a teambuilding crime dinner. That means we are going to eat. But we are also going to participate in an examination, a test. And everyone who passes the test will be a real Super Detective! Now, listen carefully... I have three murder cases for you... Can you solve them?...
- Where are the Just Judges?
- Located in the part of Belgium that is known as Flanders, the Cathedral of Ghent - St. Bavo's - is something like Loch Ness, or the castle where the legendary Holy Grail or the Treasure of the Templars was hidden. Here, in other words, starts a true crime story of mythical proportions, the tale of a lost painting called The Just Judges...
