Trailer palm tree may confirm 47 separate endings, say men with rulers.

The investigation began at 2:14 a.m., when a reader sent us a still image of a palm tree and the subject line: "you need to look at this responsibly." We did not.

After rotating the image by three degrees, printing it on legal paper, and asking a kettle for a second opinion, our newsroom believes the shadow pattern points toward a branching ending system of historic complexity.

One staff analyst claims the tree's leftmost frond resembles the number 47. Another argues it resembles a tired banana. Both readings are currently being treated as equally robust.

Rockstar has not commented, which we interpret as either a denial, a confirmation, or a company choosing not to reply to a question about a tree.
