This question is open to gaming since a Hubdub user could wager on it and then facilitate the outcome.

Laughable!!! If a hubdubber does this to game the system, he would probably want us to know about it... an interview with babwa wawa where the murderer says he did it "for the fame and hubdub fortune of it all...

I think we can let this play out, it could be great headlines for hubdub....

I was just concerned Hubdub might get sued for motivating an axe murder and then I couldn't play it any more.

Point well taken, I can understand that! however unlikely, it's not worth the chance. I say good call!

but, what if they just "threatened" somebody with an axe.... or if there were a reported sighting of someone "lugging an axe around"... or what if there was a reported outbreak of the new Zombie Axe Wielder Virus?

@tocm or what if they where just "Axing a question?"

What if the media started calling it "The Hubdub Massacre"? I'll bet there would be a record number of hits on the site the first day that was published.

@mork, based on the settlement of this question: http://www.hubdub.com/m8698, I'm curious whether Lesley invested in "Yes" or "No".
