There was Tito Puente, but he would kill Burns through song.
I can't remember the others, but for it to be one of them "you'd have to
ignore all the Simpsons DNA evidence, and that would just be absurd"

I had it on good authority that it was the dog, but obviously that turned
out to be bullshit.

The official theories were
Wayland Smithers
Homer Simpson
Snake
Tito Puente
Groundskeeper Willie
Apu
For what reasons I can't remember, but the Simpsons all made up fake endings
and red herrings to mislead the sweepstakes and compeitions.

Santa's Little Helper was one of them.
I think one of the theories was Mr Burns pointed to "S" and "W" on the
sundial as he fainted, thus pointing to the killer's initials - in this case
it was going to be "Simpson's Mutt" (upside down W).
It sounds lame...but it was one of the alternatives.

If you just watch the episode, they go through the suspects and explore the
motives one by one.
eg. Moe - his bar was forced to close
Barney - Moe's bar was forced to close
Skinner - He cost the school a lot of money
Willie, Tito Puente, Mr Lago - Lost their jobs as a result

One of the popular theories, even mentioned in "Entertainment Weekly"
magazine, was that Homer did it because he was standing in front of
some signs that said "YES" while other suspects passed in front of
signs that said "NO".

Personally, I thought Burns shot himself (I did notice his holster was
empty - and that it was in the "right-handed" position, but Burns is a
lefty, so he would have had to reach across his body to draw it)

No, it's spelled "misspelt." Look it up.

Yes, but the original poster was complaining about spelling, so we have
to assume that spelling counts, don't we?

My favorite theory, enumerated at http://www.snpp.com/guides/super.dude.html, was
that it was Super-Dude, who never really died or was possibly resurrected ala "Pet
Cemetery". "Ah, the school normally doesn't smell so rank...."

Not in the case of anything that could be an innocent typo.

I checkt Merriam-Webster OnLine, and the only exceptible way that "misplet"
is splet is "misspelled."

Sorry for doubting you. That person seemed so sure that "misplet" was splet
M-I-S-P-L-E-T. : )
Kathy Frederick
Oh, my, this is fun. Exceptible???? I believe you mean 'acceptable.' And,
BTW, it's not the only way to spell it. 'Misspelt' is a word. According to
The New York Library Writer's Guide to Style and Usage, "When a prefix is added
to a root word, both the prefix and the root retain their original spelling,
with no letters dropped or added." Thus, to mis-spell something is to
'misspell' it. And 'misspelt' is a perfectly valid alternative to
'misspelled', according to the Webster's II New Riverside University
Dictionary. No it's not in the online version, but you know how "online" goes.
