A man with a suit lies dead on the ground with his briefcase tucked underneath. There is a green stone a few feet away from him? What was the cause of his death? (HINT: Think the letter 'S') I'm guessing he's Clark Kent/Superman, and the green stone's kryptonite?  |

I've heard #2 before. It involves a hot air balloon doesn't it? 6) (This one is a bit yucky). After returning from a long and harrowing trip, a man travels a thousand miles to a place that serves roasted seagull. He orders a plate, and takes a bite. Then, he pulls out a revolver and shoots himself in the head(yes, he dies). Why? Oh wait. i remember this.. although it involved a penguin. It's a conundrum. If it is then the answer would go something like: While the man was away on an expidition, they had run out of food. Some of the members died from starvation. Then one of the other members said he prepared a meal using sea gull. Eventually they were rescued. When the man tried the fried sea gull, he said it tasted different. He was assured that it was sea gull. He realized that he had not eaten sea gull, but something else (quite morbid) and because he felt so disgusted with himself, he killed himeself. *whew* |

I guess I should leave a riddle in return...
"Who is the swift one that found me on the road? Neither the sun nor any other light shines on him. I have often seen him running alongside ships at sea. He needs no clothing or food, and is visible to all, but tangible to none."

Oh yay, riddles! I love riddles! A man with a suit lies dead on the ground with his briefcase tucked underneath. There is a green stone a few feet away from him? What was the cause of his death? (HINT: Think the letter 'S') The letter S? Erm... I think the guy was hit in the head by the stone, and just happened to fall with his briefcase under him. Though I like Gentlewind's explanation better. Who is the swift one that found me on the road? Neither the sun nor any other light shines on him. I have often seen him running alongside ships at sea. He needs no clothing or food, and is visible to all, but tangible to none. I'd say the wind. It seems to fit most of these, but as far as being visible yet not reflecting any light, I'm a little unsure. |

It goes like this: A DragonHawk Transport filled with soldiers was directly overhead its position. Right before the soldiers prepared to jump, the infantry commander told the soldiers, "Sorry, but we seem to have run out of parachutes. You'll have to get down under your own power." Suprisingly, the soldiers didn't object and got down to the ground safely. How did the soldiers evacuate the Transport? |

Riddles? How about a Red Herring
*Pulls out fish* I didn't mean THAT kind of Herring!
Two twins go to a Kebob Stand and order the same meal, from the same cart. However after eating, one twin becomes critically ill and ends up in the hospital, while the other has no problems. Why?(HINT: The answer is completely outlandish and has almost nothing to do with logic)

Some criminal guy runs up and pours poison all over one and the twin is stupid enough to eat it? Here's the answer (I told you it has nothing to do with logic!) When the guy at the stand was making the Kebobs, he had one stick left, so he grabbed a branch off a nearby bush. The bush branches had a poison coating (a defense mechanism) and that is why the second twin was sick! How ridiculous right? I heard it from my reading teacher. |

My brothers have a math teacher who had a riddle for an extra credit question. The answer is impossible because of the phraseology of the question. Here it is: What on Earth is lengthened when cut? You'll never get it because the answer is not cut...I'll tell you in a little while ;D |

How about I add onto the fray with another riddle? 7) When the day after tomorrow is yesterday, today will be as far from Wednesday as today was from Wednesday when the day before yesterday was tomorrow. What is the day after this day? The problem with this riddle is that when you say "today" it's not clear whether it's the today after tomarrow, or the "today" of the day when yesterday was tomarrow, or if "today" was just "today". However, after looking at this riddle for a while, I give up trying to figure out what the hell "today" is, so I'm taking a wild guess that the day after "today" is Friday. If only all of those todays could have been labelled with varialbes like x, y, and z.... |
