The Great Sandwich Mystery - Another take


The Great Sandwich debate will surely rumble on until the end of time itself.

However one thing which perhaps hasn't been considered is this - How come Matrix has no ability to discern the flavour of a sandwich (made from surely a very limited set of ingredients which he himself must have bought) yet only a few minutes later his sense of smell is so acute as to be able get a whiff of the enemy approaching down wind?

This is the same kind of thing as when Indiana Jones shoots a bunch of soldiers with one bullet, because the bullet goes through ALL of them, but in another movie, he shoots at a guy that's standing in front of a crowd (just after this guy swings a sword around), and the bullet does NOT kill anyone behind the swordguy!

How do you explain THAT??

reply

Haha i can answer this.

Thr bullet that went thru several men was a different gun. (Which hectook off a nazi soldier) The other time was with Indy's revolver.

reply

I wonder how in a gun battle the soldiers would kill the wounded soldier in Matrix house and have time to prop him up against the door nicely.

I was more interested as to why did Arnold try some of his daughters ice cream cone which was the same flavor to his prior to the sandwich scene

reply

Yes, that's a good point which also goes unexplained.

There's a thread on here already discussing the ice cream issue. I've just bumped it by stealth for you...
