did someone throw something at the phone booth? (or the guy in it) no
Was he injured before he got in the phone booth? no
Did he put his hand/foot/head through the glass for some mysterious reason? yes
Was this guy abnormaly large? yes

and a big fat MINUS for thunderfrog

[Mister Ben]

Did his head (and only his head/neck) go through the glass?

[Soapie]

Did he call some magical losing weight course?

[sweetfloss]

Did he cause the glass to break?

[GreatE]

Did something cause him to bloat? (as in, was he not naturaly that large?)

[PoofBird]

Did his head (and only his head/neck) go through the glass? no
Did he call some magical losing weight course? no
Did he cause the glass to break? yes
Did something cause him to bloat? no

[piemanmoo]

Did something on the phone startle him, and cause him to break the glass?

[Mister Ben]

Did his arm break the glass?

[sweetfloss]

Was he waving his arms around, or putting his arms out to show the size of something, when he broke the glass?




Its one question... honest...

[PoofBird]

Did something on the phone startle him, and cause him to break the glass? no
Did his arm break the glass? yes
Was he waving his arms around, or putting his arms out to show the size of something, when he broke the glass? yes

[Mister Ben]

Was his arm the only part of him that went through the glass?

[sweetfloss]

Is what he was talking about on the phone relevant?

[PoofBird]

Was his arm the only part of him that went through the glass? erm... almost
Is what he was talking about on the phone relevant? yes

[Wingless Fairy]

Were his actions that whole day until he died relevant to his death?

[erk!]

did he slip on something (eg water) then smash his arm through the glass attemting to steady himself, causing him to bleed to death

[PoofBird]

Were his actions that whole day until he died relevant to his death? yes
did he slip on something (eg water) then smash his arm through the glass attemting to steady himself, causing him to bleed to death no, he didn't

[Shave]

had he been saying the same thing all day?

[sweetfloss]

Was he describing the size of something "eg, I caught a fish THIS *arms get thrown out* big!"?

[PIIIE]

is there pie involved?

[PoofBird]

had he been saying the same thing all day? no

Was he describing the size of something "eg, I caught a fish THIS *arms get thrown out* big!"? bingo!

he was out fishing and caught a very big fish. Right after he set the fish free again, he rushed to the nearby phone booth and rang his wife.
"Honey, honey, you won't believe it!
I caught a fish THIS bi...AAaaghghrrghghgh..."

*gurgle*

is there pie involved?
don't ask stupid off topic questions in a Besterest Thread.

update imminent

[sweetfloss]

YAY!!! I'm good :p

[Owenson_Bellamy]

pretty cool mystery, the guy sounds a bit stupid to me tho... when's the next 1?

[Nuclear Spoon]

Oh, I saw that one before somewhere...

[PoofBird]

A man sits in a closed train compartment. He suddenly sees a 3 fingered hand through the compartment window, reaches for a gun and shoots the person.

He kills the person but does not get prosecuted.


note: if you already know this mystery or think you recognize it, don't play the game! leave it to others to guess.

[Jasmic]

Was the train moving?

(First post on this thread...only just found it :) )

[sweetfloss]

Was the 3 fingered man a criminal?

[Dingbat]

Was the hand a human hand with 3 fingers?

[Matt]

Was the man in the train a policeman

Also first post in this thread :p

[Nuclear Spoon]

Did he shoot the person with the 3-fingered hand? (you didn't make it clear)

[Dick Champion]

Was the man with anybody else in the closed compartment?

[Bloopo]

Had he already been tried for murder, but for some obscure reason the person didn't die OR they were 'the living impaired'?

[Misanthrope]

Had the 3 fingered man been convicted of a crime prior to his death.

[Bloopo]

Did the 3 fingered guy have a gun/weapon in their hand?

[PoofBird]

Was the 3 fingered man a criminal?the who? (yes)
Was the train moving?yes
Was the hand a human hand with 3 fingers?yes
Was the man in the train a policemanno
Did he shoot the person with the 3-fingered hand? (you didn't make it clear)yes
Was the man with anybody else in the closed compartment?yes
Had he already been tried for murder, but for some obscure reason the person didn't die OR they were 'the living impaired'?no
Had the 3 fingered man been convicted of a crime prior to his death.the who? (no)
Did the 3 fingered guy have a gun/weapon in their hand?the who? (no)

[Dick Champion]

So it's a 3-fingered woman, then. Yes?

[Bloopo]

Thus the choosing of the word 'person'

[Nuclear Spoon]

Did they man dispose of the evidence?

[Misanthrope]

Had the man been convicted of a serious crime prior to this shooting?

[Dick Champion]

Thus the choosing of the word 'person'

No; 'The who?' in PB's answers gives it away. He only said it when the question implied that the 3-fingered person was male. The fact that he used 'person' tells us 2 things, neither of which is gender.

[Nuclear Spoon]

And the two things are:
1) They might be male
2) They might be female

[Dick Champion]

Nope. That counts as one thing. The other is that this is a human (Which makes Dingbat's question - almost - redundant).

Edit: In fact, I'd like to withdraw my last question in favour of another, if that's okay.

Did the gun that the man used to shoot the 3-fingered woman belong to the other person in the closed compartment?

[Nuclear Spoon]

How do you know it's not Mulefa from Philip Pullman's Dark Materials Books? They were defined as people? But then they didn't have hands.

[Dick Champion]

How do you know it's not Mulefa from Philip Pullman's Dark Materials Books? They were defined as people? But then they didn't have hands.

But then he would have written 'person' in mulefa language, and they did have hands; 1-fingered hands that attach to the pod thingies that they roll on. Also, don't be silly.

[H4mst4h]

Ok, I'm going to step out on a limb here, everyone feel free to derive questions from my thoughts if this is partially wrong.

Did the man see his own reflection, noting that his hand had only three fingers, and feeling very depressed about his situation, decide that, even though he had promised his grandmother that he would make the journey to her that day on the 3pm train, to take his own life for fear that he would never be able to play the piano again?

[PoofBird]

So it's a 3-fingered woman, then. Yes?yes
Did they man dispose of the evidence?no
Had the man been convicted of a serious crime prior to this shooting?yes
Did the gun that the man used to shoot the 3-fingered woman belong to the other person in the closed compartment?yes

Did the man see his own reflection, noting that his hand had only three fingers, and feeling very depressed about his situation, decide that, even though he had promised his grandmother that he would make the journey to her that day on the 3pm train, to take his own life for fear that he would never be able to play the piano again?no

[Jasmic]

Was the other person in the carriage with the man who did the shooting awake?

[sweetfloss]

Was he insane, and therfore no tresponsible for his actions? (ie he couldnt be prosecuted for murder, on the grounds of diminshed responsibility)

[GreatE]

Was the other person, who was with the man, blamed for the shooting?

[eggmuffin]

Was the shooter wearing a hat?

[Nuclear Spoon]

Was the man in a prison train?

[Dick Champion]

Was the other person in the closed compartment a police officer?

[SuperdogX]

okay, I'm new to this game, but I'll give it a try anyway...

was the man earlier convicted of murdering the woman, and was therefore not charged again??

[Dick Champion]

Double Jeopardy. Bit silly, but that's probably the answer.

If so, then the other person in the compartment is a warden with a gun who was taking him to prison for murdering the woman (his wife?).

At a guess, I'd say that the woman cut off two of her fingers in order to leave 'evidence' for the police to find. He was framed for a murder that never happened, and having been convicted already he could not be prosecuted a second time.

Why she is on the train I don't know, but seeing the three-fingered hand, he put two and two together, realised it was his wife and pulled the guard's gun out to shoot her.

The initial conviction would be overturned, and despite having actually murdered his wife, he would walk free.

This wouldn't happen in Britain, as the 'Double Jeopardy' law exists only in America. Even so, I'm not sure the law works like this. He would have to be on his way out of serving the prison sentence for him to be let free, and that eventuality raises the question of why in a compartment being guarded by a warden with a gun in the first place. Unless it was a random civilian with a gun, but it seems unlikely that he would have the presence of mind know that the other man had a gun at all. It has to be a guard/ policeman for him to act as quickly as he does.

And why would he be going to prison on a train anyway?

It's a nice mystery, but a little unrealistic.

This is all assuming I'm correct, of course. ;)

[Extra_Crispy]

Hi! I'm new to the forums, but i have a mystery that will entertain everyone! once you finish with this one i'd to be the guest detective, and of course i'll email PoofBird. Just one question (or two), i haven't quite figured out how to do quotes, maybe some help?

2. Did the 3fingered woman try to kill the man before?

[Nuclear Spoon]

Were they in Europe?

Just to get this thread going again.

[Extra_Crispy]

Where the hell is poofbird?????!?

[richee]

was he in a high profile position?
and if yes meaning that people would resent this and do something about it?

[richee]

to do the quote you just click the quote button at the bottom right of someone's post

[Nuclear Spoon]

to do the edit just click the edit button at the bottom right of your post. HINT.
If you're really that stupid what i mean is: DON'T FUCKING DOUBLE POST

[Dick Champion]

Is this thread dead? I want to know if we've got the answer. It's been nearly a month now. :(

[PoofBird]

oops, sorry :P

Dick Champion got it right on the nail.

and, well, that's really me being totally out of mysteries, and can't be arsed to do this anymore :P

it's been fun, and i thank you all for playing.

If someone wants to continue, please post a fitting mystery.

[Saib]

oops, sorry :P

OK then, this is the same genre of Poofbird's mystery, except I'll give you a little more info to start with. Sorry for bumping an old thread, but mysteries are my thing;)

So there is this guy found in the middle of a field wearing nothing, and all he has is half of a straw. (If you know this one, let other people guess)

[Jeza]

I know loads of Mystries, but most r short, ill tell a few for no reason.

A man is found dead hanging in a barn or a crossbeam there is a pool of water underneath him but there is now way he could have reached up to hang himself with out some kind of support, So how did he hang himself?

[HappyJack]

He stood on a large ice cube, put the noose around his neck and waited for the cube to melt.

However, hangings kill people by snapping the neck, so he would have been alive for quite some time.

[Dwoo]

The naked guy on the field is dead, right?

[Nuclear Spoon]

A group of guys took straws and that guy got the shortest so he had be found in the middle of a field wearing nothing with his straw?
Or they were playing Hide-and-go-Nude?

[Fade Away]

Does it have anything to do with cropcircles?

[benkenthebest]

Does it happen to be that he jumped out of a plane after drawing the short straw for parachutes (he didnt get a parachute)?

[Saib]

Oh, sorry! I been gone.

The naked guy is dead, yes.

2 Bit and Fade Away are wrong, but benkenthebeast was right about drawing the shortest straw (from other one of different lengths.) No plane or parachutes, though.

[masked_muffin]

What about a hot air balloon?

[Saib]

Hot air balloon=very yes.

[masked_muffin]

Ah...

Were they in a hot-air balloon, and they were going to crash? So they took of thier clothes to lose some weight? But then that didn't work, and they shoved the guy out?

If this is right, I will feel oh-so, smart!

[Saib]

Masked muffin, you astound me. You got it RIGHT!!!:D

It took most people longer than that to figure this one out. You peoples are oh-so smart.

Other people, you can put in more mysteries/whodunits/detective things if you want. This thread is fun, I want to solve all of your mysteries, but just don't make them dumb and easy to figure out like mine was.:rolleyes: Keep it up!

[masked_muffin]

that's crazy! Now, I feel very smart...

Here's my mystery;

Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice all live in the same house. Bob
and Carol go out to a movie, and when they return, Alice is lying dead
on the floor in a puddle of water and glass. It is obvious that Ted
killed her but Ted is not prosecuted or severely punished.

[jimeh]

Does Ted have an alibai for where he was at the time she died?

[Saib]

Did Alice ask him to kill her? Like, she wanted to end her life, but not actually comit suicide?

[masked_muffin]

Does Ted have an alibai for where he was at the time she died?

Ted makes no attempt to hide the fact that he killed her.

Did Alice ask him to kill her? Like, she wanted to end her life, but not actually comit suicide?

Alice did not want to die.

[Mister Ben]

Is Alice a fish?

[masked_muffin]

Is Alice a fish?

Ooh... you are very smart. Yes, Alice is a fish!

I was afraid this would be a tough mystery. But I hadn't counted on those who are sharp or can Google.

(My next mystery will have different names)

[Saib]

Well then.

A woman shoots her husband, dunks him until he would drown, and hangs him, yet he is still alive. How is this possible? You may have heard this one, I don't know.

[astral]

Was he shot with a "real" bullet?

[oppernaR]

Well then.

A woman shoots her husband
in the leg?

dunks him until he would drown
would, but doesn't?

and hangs him
by his arms?

yet he is still alive. How is this possible?
none of those are lethal?

[Mellomeh]

She shoots him with a water pistol, dunks his foot in a bucket and hangs his feet on a bungee wire.

[Doob]

she's a ghost, she cant physicly hurt him

[Weeman]

Photograph

[masked_muffin]

Photograph

Ah...

I think I see...

When she "shot" him did she take a picture of him?

[astral]

Yeah, that's probably it - and the dunking and hanging was her developing the film in a dark room.

[Saib]

:D I'm glad you got it! She shot the picture, dunked it in the formula to develop faster, and hung it to dry. We DO have a sly bunch here.

Sorry for not responding, I was on vacation and couldn't reach a computer... anyways, keep up the good mysteries 'cause this is fun.

[Psymonos]

Hello deserately hoping this hasnt been done but a quick search turned up nothing :)

What:

1. doesn't actually exist
2. grows larger as you take from it
3. can be any size or shape

what is it?

[Psymonos]

aww (cries)

[Saib]

the more it gets wet, the more it dries. what is it?

[Dwoo]

It's a towel

[eggmuffin]

What happened to Poofbirds real mysteries?

[Jasmine]

Did the guy shoot the hand to kill it as opposed to the body, which was not reaching through the window?

[richee]

here's a mystery,
what is the only thing that shrinks when heated?
it's not too tough, but think

[sweetfloss]

Crisp packets :p

They do in a microwave anyway*

*Boring disclaimer: EMPTY crisp packets. I cannot be held responsible for any death/injury caused as a result of trying this.

[patch]

a puddle of water

[crab]

ice, foo'!

[DutchDemon]

sheep.

[Jasmine]

Yes, it's ice.

[richee]

Crisp packets :p

*Boring disclaimer: EMPTY crisp packets. I cannot be held responsible for any death/injury caused as a result of trying this.

nope, and it's not ice either

I'll give you a clue, it doesn't actually exist.

[Jasmine]

Um, a friendship in a heated argument?[/stupid]

[richee]

Um, a friendship in a heated argument?[/stupid]

it's not that either, but getting closer, keep going

[DutchDemon]

A relationship when you're getting hot with someone else?

[richee]

A relationship when you're getting hot with someone else?

nope not that too, ill give you a hint, it invloves an inanimate abject

[sweetfloss]

The ozone layer? (Kinda a chicken and egg thing but still!)

[richee]

The ozone layer? (Kinda a chicken and egg thing but still!)

nope, its something you might find around you, it also has to be in something.

[Tucker6677]

Hmmm... I guess.. Headache..WHAT? :p

[HELLO64]

plastic?

[richee]

plastic?

nope, not plastic or a headache, and I know you think plastic does get smaller, but that is a reaction, as in one which is hard to get back to the origional state (like making toast) rather than expanding and contracting.

[Themig]

Zirconium tungstate

Quote from HERE (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/11/041119015323.htm)

Most solids expand when heated, a familiar phenomenon with many practical implications. Among the rare exceptions to this rule, the compound zirconium tungstate stands out by virtue of the enormous temperature range over which it exhibits so-called "negative thermal expansion," contracting as it heats up and expanding as it cools, and because it does so uniformly in all directions.

OOoo and silk, polyester, cotton, stars(ok so they shink as they use up the nuclear energy and heat up) and meat.

Dang missed doesn't exist part..

yes like i sed, the thing that contracts doesnt actually exist so you are wrong, but it is intreaging that u were bothered to go to such lengths to find that out (either that or you have accumulated lots of random, almost useless information like me, i.e. the time it takes to pour the perfect pint of guiness is 109.5 seconds and the boiling point of maple syrup is 104 degrees celcius) so well done the same, but keep looking.

oh yeah and silk, polyester (which is a type of plastic) cotton and meat are also chemical reactions when that happens so it is the same as toast like i sed before, and stars..thats completly differant.

[Jasmine]

Ooh! Shrink Wrap!

[eggmuffin]

It still doesn't really exist.

So we're talking about something that shrinks in a metaphorical sense?

...

Hmm...

I'm out.

[richee]

It still doesn't really exist.

So we're talking about something that shrinks in a metaphorical sense?

...

Hmm...

I'm out.

its not mataphorical, it is there, you can see it, but it isnt actually anything, and it has to be in something, it cant exist by itself, even tho it doesnt exist.
and in that way just a small clue,
it is a lack of anything

[eggmuffin]

The only thing that fits this description is a hole, but a hole doesn't shrink in high temperatures.

[richee]

The only thing that fits this description is a hole, but a hole doesn't shrink in high temperatures.

spot on, thats the answer, a hole.
and although the hole doesn't actually shrink the material around the hole (ie what it is in, eg iron) expands making the hole smaller and therefore it appears to have shrunk.
well that amazingly simple mystery took a while to solve, anywho i now pass on the mystery generating idea thingy (the person who makes em) to whoever can get another.
thanks

[eggmuffin]

You never said anything was in it.
What if it was filled with zirconium tungstate? The riddle was flawed.

[richee]

You never said anything was in it.
What if it was filled with zirconium tungstate? The riddle was flawed.

i did say it has to be in something, it was in one of the replies just after i stated the riddle, it was a clue since nobody guessed it, also i used iron as the example for what it was in, not zirconium tungstate (ok it was later on but..)

[eggmuffin]

Fair enough, fair enough. I suppose I have to make a riddle then.
I can't think of one. I'm passing on the rod.

[Joodit]

awwww common, someone make a riddle, I've been dieing to join in for aaaaaaaaaaaaages

[Mellomeh]

An explorer is exploring the jungle. He comes across an opening in the trees and stood there are a naked couple. He looks at them and says "You're Adam and Eve". They reply "Yes, however did you know?".

How did he know?

[Captain Maim]

They had no belly buttons.

[Mellomeh]

Dammit, I bet you knew it anyway. Can I set another one?

[Captain Maim]

Yeah go on, that was an old one.

[eggmuffin]

Actually, Maim should do it, but I don't think any tears will be shed if you take the liberty.

[Mellomeh]

Ok. There is a 2 year olds dead body in the middle of a field. Its body is intact, there is no poison in the body, it wasn't strangled or beaten by anything. It didn't fall. It didn't drown. It wasn't electrocuted. How did it die?

[Captain Maim]

It starved?

[Mellomeh]

No

Edit: Didn't dehydrate either.

[Monkeyboi]

Did it die from shock?

[Mellomeh]

No

[littlegirly]

Was it a dormouse and seeing a how they only live 2 years, it died of natural causes?

[eggmuffin]

I was going to say that!

/big fat lie

[Mellomeh]

Was it a dormouse and seeing a how they only live 2 years, it died of natural causes?
Coooooooooorrect! Well done!

[littlegirly]

oh yeah, im goood! do i get to post one now?

[Captain Maim]

Yes. You do

[littlegirly]

It's probably allready been done but im not going thoughall 126 pages to look for it.

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

[Captain Maim]

Language. I know I've won.

[littlegirly]

damn it, admit it, before you knew the answer it was a good riddle.

[Captain Maim]

It was a great riddle.
Ok, here's mine.

When is a door not a door?

[littlegirly]

when its a jar

[Captain Maim]

Correct. That one was crap. You're turn.

[littlegirly]

Johnny's mother had 3 children. The first was called April, The second was called may, what was the third called?

[Mellomeh]

Johnny

Edit: Someone else do the next one, I've run out

[mmmbacon]

It's the beginning of eternity. It's the end of time and space. It's the start of every end, and the end of everyplace.

What is it?

[chillaaa]

Nothing

[eggmuffin]

"Start of every end"? Doesn't sound like noting to me.

[Themig]

the letter E

[eggmuffin]

I hate word puzzles.

Actually, they're pretty neat, but I never get them.

[mmmbacon]

Themig is correct.

[Themig]

Voiceless it cries
Wingless it flutters,
Toothless bites
Mouthless mutters

[mmmbacon]

wait i know this one, is it wind?

[Themig]

Bugger! Yus correct

[Mellomeh]

Can I have a quick go? I love this one:

In Los Angeles there was a bus and for no reason it was incredibly full, to the point where only one person could physically get on. It reached a bus stop and two people tried to get on, the first one got on succesfully but when the second guy tried to get on he was told to get off by the conductor. An argument ensued and it ended up with the bus starting to move off. At this point the guy who was trying to get on the bus jumped on the back and was promptly pushed off by the conductor. The man went under the wheels of the car behind. The conductor was arrested and charged with murder. In court, the jury found him guilty as charged and the judge sentenced him to death. He was later strapped into the electric chair but when the executioner pulled the switch that would ensure his death, the chair failed to work. They tried again but it wouldn't work. Later they tried with a different chair and even that didn't work. They moved him around America, trying to execute him on electric chairs in 3 different states, needless to say, they didn't work. Eventually he was pardoned.

Why wouldn't he die?

[Monkeyboi]

He was made of rubber?

[Themig]

He was a bad conductor (of electricity)

[Mellomeh]

He was a bad conductor (of electricity)
Gah, well done

[joey von boey]

Another mystery... A woman with blonde hair walks into an electrical store and asks to buy a tv, the store owner ( being the prejudiced person he was) said he did not serve blondes, the woman was shocked, but needed the television, she had no choice but to dye her hair brown, she then re enters the store but finds that the owner will still not serve her. Why?

[Monkeyboi]

He could see her face and said that she is really a blonde the dye just hides it for a while?

[Themig]

Because what she picked was a microwave

[joey von boey]

Because what she picked was a microwave

Correct! :notworthy

[Monkeyboi]

I have one you might of heard before. (Its kinda predujice in a way but I don't mean it).

In a car theres Santa Clause, a Man and a Woman. Unfortuntely they crashed and only the front seat passenger survived. (The driver and back seat passenger both died). (The surviver is person in front passenger seat). Who survived, and why?

[Jasmine]

My question: Is this riddle sexist/fairy-tale-type-creature-ist in any way?

[eggmuffin]

Santa can't die because he doesn't exist.

Correct?

[Monkeyboi]

My question: Is this riddle sexist/fairy-tale-type-creature-ist in any way?

Umm yes, a bit, but I don't mean it.


And eggmuffin is on the right track, but not correct.

[littlegirly]

you told it wrong, so no one can get it.

[Captain Maim]

It's supposed to be the perfect man, a woman and santa clause. Then it becomes the woman, because Santa clause and the perfect man don't exist.

[Monkeyboi]

Yes I know but I changed it, nevermind it dosen't matter.

[Captain Maim]

I can be long, or I can be short.
I can be grown, and I can be bought.
I can be painted, or left bare.
I can be round, or square.
What am I?

[Themig]

fingernails?

[Captain Maim]

Yes

[albie_123]

this is easy, but i'll do it anyway. I'll think of a better one later.
What goes around the world but stays in a corner?

[Jasmine]

A stamp

[albie_123]

yes.

[blondie2]

no ahahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[eggmuffin]

Hmm... I wonder what Blondie2 was banned for. Probably "indecent portrayal of norwegian national monuments".


EDIT:
It was, apparently, "stupid PM".

Thought you'd like to know.

[Joodit]

Heres one, its quite stupid....

This guy was mourning his dead wife so was completely dressed in black, with even a black shawl over his face so no one could see any of his skin at all was walking home after a long night drowning his sorrows at the pub. A car, driving to get its headlight fixed still serves and misses him.
How did the driver see him?

[Mellomeh]

It was morning?

[Joodit]

Dammit, got it in one, well done

[mmmbacon]

A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him underwater for 10 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. An hour later they go out to a nice dinner. How is this?

[albie_123]

its a photo shoot, you put a photo in an inky type thing for a while to make it come up, and hang it up on a wall. Therefore, she was just making a picture of her husband.

[eggmuffin]

Then she weren't dunking her husband. The riddle is flawed.

[mmmbacon]

Then she holds him underwater for 10 minutes.

Holds, not dunks, read carefully, a photo shoot however is the correct answer

[Jasmine]

One day, some miners found a dirty note. It was a clue to where to find a treasure chest of rubber chickens:

"A treasure of rubber chickens
Not a single rubber hen
In a secret spot near a light
Guides those in cloak of night
Near the shore the light be
Near the light a big shady tree
Under the tree is where the treasure be"

Where was the treasure hidden?

[Themig]

under a tree

[Jasmine]

Yes.

*SIGH*


Someone get a harder one.

[Themig]

This maybe an easy one.

[albie_123]

the same bull.

Take away bull.

It sounds "the same."

I feel dumb.

[eggmuffin]

Idiot. My point is that she doesn't hold him under water.

[Themig]

Not right but someone is getting close

[pro-jam]

is it

Queue????

:)

[Themig]

it is

[Jasmine]

This one's almost confusing, but it might be difficult.

Three-fourths of a cross and a circle complete,
Two semi-circles with a pependicular meet.
Then add a triangle that stands on 2 feet,
Two semi-cicles and a circle complete.
What am I?

[Fade Away]

Tobacco, Domination of the system?

[eggmuffin]

You are confusing.

Correct?

[Smartie]

yea, i'm sure it's TOBACCO too.

[Jasmine]

Correct.

[eggmuffin]

I don't understand. Explain.

You made me feel fooling.












Shame on thee!

[mmmbacon]

Idiot. My point is that she doesn't hold him under water.

She holds an image of him, though, that's the hook.

[psycho_7]

What was the highest mountain in the world before Mount Everest was discovered?

so easy :nana: *diees*

[Themig]

Highest by elevation or from base to tip?

Now if you meant by elevation then yes it would be everest, Due to it being the highest elevation on land.

if you meant from base to tip then, Mauna Kea, a neighbor of Mauna Loa on the same island of Hawaii, is actually the tallest mountain in the world. Mauna Kea is about 350 ft/107m taller than Mauna Loa but has less mass.

If you want to get really technical, How ever the biggest mountain is Mauna Loa from its true base on the bottom of the ocean, in the Hawaiian Trough, the total height exceeds that of Everest by over 3/4 of a mile and has a huge mass.

In any event it would still be which ever mount it was as it was still there before it was discovered

[psycho_7]

yes. what he said.

*dieies again*

[eggmuffin]

"Dieies"? Never heard that one before. ;)

[kaliana]

That's because you're not down with the kieds :P

[Scabby_Knees]

wot exactly is the mystery? :) :s

[Jasmine]

We don't have one right now. Just waiting for someone to submit a difficult one..

[Scabby_Knees]

wasn't poofbird doing that?

[eggmuffin]

He died.

[psycho_7]

Everybody's oh so desperate for a mystery....


There are two baby twins. Overnight, one of the babies die. The other, however, survives.
They both sleep in the same crib in the same room. Whatever could've happened to the poor baby?

[edit] ill try my besterest to keep up with the questions :)

[SPACKlick]

The other baby accientaly choked it?

[psycho_7]

The other baby accientaly choked it?

no

[SPACKlick]

Did the baby die of a heart or lung related failure?

[psycho_7]

Did the baby die of a heart or lung related failure?

no

[SPACKlick]

Did it die of natural causes?

[psycho_7]

Did it die of natural causes?
no

[In Flames]

it fell through the bars of the crib. Landed on a dog got mauled until she was half dead then left stood on by its dad 3 minutes later resulrting it to die?

[psycho_7]

it fell through the bars of the crib. Landed on a dog got mauled until she was half dead then left stood on by its dad 3 minutes later resulrting it to die?

YES


no.

the baby was found dead in the crib.

[In Flames]

i see the dad placed the baby back in the crib then in the morning blamed it on the twin.

that dad is Eveeelllll

[psycho_7]

i see the dad placed the baby back in the crib then in the morning blamed it on the twin.

that dad is Eveeelllll
no the dad had nothing to do with the baby's death

[SPACKlick]

So it was non-naytural causes killing one twin and not the other?

Was the alive twin responsible for the baby's death?
Was the dead twin responsible for the baby's death?
Was God responsible for the baby's death?
Was in flames responsible for the baby's death?

[Jasmine]

They were siamese twins, and one didn't have a heart/some lungs or something, and didn't get enough oxygen, and so therefore died?

[Fade Away]

Was the alive twin responsible for the baby's death?

So.. what was it?

[psycho_7]

So it was non-naytural causes killing one twin and not the other?

Was the alive twin responsible for the baby's death?
Was the dead twin responsible for the baby's death?
Was God responsible for the baby's death?
Was in flames responsible for the baby's death?
yes
no
the dead twin is the dead baby :S so......no?
well God is responsible for everything but not directly, no
no

They were siamese twins, and one didn't have a heart/some lungs or something, and didn't get enough oxygen, and so therefore died?
no

So.. what it?
huh?!

oh come on.... try and be less specific; ask about the house; the baby's condition etc. don't try and guess the death straightaway because you won't get it.....

AND as I think this thread is loverly and should get back on track here are the rules!!! (originally set by Poofbird)

Elementary, my dear forumites!

In this thread we will solve a difficult case. A babyhas been found dead, under curious cicumstances... It is up to you to find out exactly what happened.

You can ask me all kinds of questions, which i will answer with Yes, No, In A Way or Irrelevant.

Questions can be a lot of things: Is it raining? Is he married? Is he Canadian? Does he like flamingos?

Ask smart, and find out what happened.

If you think you´ve solved the case, instead of posting a question, post the entire story from start to finish about the cause of the death.

If you played this game before and recognize the story, please refrain from playing. You might spoil the fun for the rest. I will probably be able to tell if someone is trying to rig it.

Please, ask only one question per post, and don´t post too often, give others a chance as well...
You may post more questions after eahcother, you do not need to wait for me to reply.

[mmmbacon]

did the alive baby, roll on top of the dead baby, forcing it to suffocate?

P.S. putting 2 babies in one crib is a big no-no, for shame to the parents

[DutchDemon]

was the baby killed on purpose?
was the baby killed by accident?
were there any people around at the time of death?

[Jasmine]

Were the babies related?
Was it a big house?
Was it a moldy house?
Were the parents violent in nature?
Were the parents married?
Were either of the babies illegitimate?
Did the baby have a deadly disease in the first place?

[SPACKlick]

Even after she just posted the rules that's about a billion questions in a post.

Was the crib designed for multiple infants?

[psycho_7]

[SPACKlick]

the room that the crib was in, were the crib(and childrens toys etc, the only things in the room

[psycho_7]

[SPACKlick]

As in, was the room just for the baby's crib and baby's stuff? or were there other things in the room?

[psycho_7]

As in, was the room just for the baby's crib and baby's stuff? or were there other things in the room?

[SPACKlick]

Were those things the cause of death?

[psycho_7]

Were those things the cause of death?
in a way....

[SPACKlick]

were the things in the room anything to do with the mould?

[Jasmine]

Were the other things in the room meant to be there?

[eggmuffin]

I really don't understand you english, SPACKlick.

[SPACKlick]

As in the cause of, the soruce of or a preventative measure towards the mould. Was their function associated with the mould
