The Case of the Inexplicably Called "Unexplainable" Missing Stump

I can think of a few possible explanations:

They're all in on it. The roofers, the neighbours, your relatives, and the home-owners association. It's one big conspiracy. The only one who doesn't know is you.
You did it yourself in a drunken stupor, in the wee hours of the night. Now that you are sober, you don't remember anything about it. (You are sober, aren't you?)
Your wife reared your car into it. She had the car repaired and the stump removed to cover up the evidence.

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Darwin.

Did you know that most of the time your computer is doing nothing? What if you could make it do something really useful? Like helping scientists understand diseases? Your computer could even be instrumental in finding a cure for HIV/AIDS. Wouldn't that be something? If you agree, then join World Community Grid now and download a simple, free tool that lets you and your computer do your share in helping humanity. After all, you are part of it, so why not take part in it?

Re: The Case of the Inexplicably Called "Unexplainable" Missing Stump

Does your wife consider it a mystery too?

Yes, she does. She came home that day, and said, "How did you manage to get rid of that stump?"

Yup, she's in on the conspiracy too.

===

Who cut down the tree?

I did, some time before. But I didn't dig up that stump.

Yeah, and you did not kill the deputy, we've heard that one before.

Tell me, if a tree stump mysteriously disappears and there's no one around to watch, does it produce a puff of smoke?

ToED

And there's the Evil Demon theory: An Evil Demon said to himself: "If I take away this stump, that old fool is going to go nuts about it and a whole lot of people are going to theorize about how it happened, AND THEY'LL KNOCK A THREAD TERMINALLY OFF TOPIC, HA!"
