Hi,
 I totally agree with Chimera's Beatrice theory, I remember sitting in bed, and relating this idea to my brother. There were one or two reasons against this, but a lot of evidence for it. In book 8, "Hostile Hospital", there is a huge hidden clue: One of the patients undergoing surgery has a name which is an ANAGRAM of "Beatrice Bauldelaire". However, another name can be made into "red herring".
I am writing this in my school library, and the Librarian has just asked me if this is educational. I told her I am "participating in a highly-charged intellectual debate"!!!.

One more thing, can you tell me a bit about yourselves. Here some info about me:

Name: Simon
Age: 12
Occupation: Student at an all-boys grammar school.
Hobbies: Reading and internet, mostly.
Nationality: English

Thanks,
       The Bot

P.S: I am not "Simon Johnson". He was a bit daft with his theory, wasn't he!!!
Frankly, I'm shocked. But, even more frankly, I'm always shocked.

Hello again,
              Not impressed by random accusations by dankezman. My guess is that *he* is Simon Johnson, whoever he may be. Anyway, still like the rest of you ha ha

I didn't see that one! That is a good clue!!! (Although, the "red herring" does make it arguable if the anagram is, in fact, only a red herring.) But that clue makes me wish that I could whip out all my LS books and reread them and find all the clues that I identified and post my whole theory, with evidence, here. Unfortunately, this is not possible for quite some time, as my books are in storage in MsFish's closet in Utah and I won't be retrieving them until April.  :(

LOL.  ;D Well, we're glad to have another LS enthusiast to discuss the books with us.

As to who we are, check out our introductions on the "Introduce Yourself" thread--the link that Nessa provided above. Although, speaking of which, I really need to update mine--at least to say I'm not in Provo. I'll do that...sometime.

Another one, Chimera:
Baudelaire's mother made Kit and Lemony's salad thing. Lemony would probably tell Beatrice this sort of thing, considering the fact that he is random and helpful (LOL). It goes with your Beatrice=Mother theory.
Frankly, I'm shocked. But, even more frankly, I'm always shocked.

Yeah, I saw that one. Is it in book 12? I can't remember. The Bot will have to enlighten us.

Book 10:-
In Lemony's letter to Kit, He refers to Kit making two suggestions; the second of which is a salad with a range of ingredients, which the Baudelaire mother used at a dinner party (so it says later in the book).
Frankly, I'm shocked. But, even more frankly, I'm always shocked.

I've read all the books (well nearly. just waiting for book 12 to be free in the library) but there is one thing I do not understand. Why are all the houses that are part of V.F.D linked. I do know that this may have been explained and I'm just not to good at reading a whole page of writing but could someone explain it to me.

That simon boy is simon Johnsen (or simon townsend as I call him) by the way. Anyway how can Beartrice be the Baudelaires mother like some people have said. Would that not make Lemony Snicket the Baudelaires father. And one of the books clearly states their fathers name.

At the moment I don't know whats more mysterious. Who shot JFK or what V.F.D is. I think V.F.D wins by miles. Anyone know what it is. Volunteer Fire Department is too obvious. If its anything I reckon its a latin name which will then provid ethe Baudelaires with a way of finding their parents ( even if 1 is dead). Its probably somethoin like Very Fake death. haha. But seriously anyone know what V.F.D is?
