Isaias's Sick Games and How We're Falling for It: "Danilology is quickly becoming the passtime of choice for more and more Venezuelan media junkies. And it's not hard to see why: the Danilo Anderson murder investigation is weirder than a David Lynch movie - just one layer of absurdity on top of another, a virtual lasagna of unsolved riddles, a tropical film noir.
