Snowbaby Posted April 16, 2004 #204 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Seeing as i dont know the answer to the previous riddle, i thought i would post one of my own instead.... Two men appeared in court to be tried for murder. The jury decision found one man guilty and the second man innocent. The judge turned to the guilty man and said, "Even though your guilt has been established, the law compels me to set you free." Why did the judge have to set the murderer free?

They were probably Siamese twins, although why one Siamese twin would let the other commit murder is beyone me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i agree with u barman, the man who was found innocent surely shud have been charged with aiding and abetting or whatever it would be called?!!!! Well done tho Oh well, i best get back to work *sigh* at least it's Friday!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarman Posted April 16, 2004 Author #208 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Yours isn't history related is it barman? It's a riddle, so no it's not related to any "historic event" whatsoever, and if that's not a huge clue I don't know what is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted April 16, 2004 #209 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Right, I think that's all the outstanding one's on the board done, but no one even bothered to guess at mine so here it is again... It happened towards the end of the 19th century, Again around the middle of the 20th century But wont happen again for over 4000 years. What happened? ps: In the interests of making it a bit harder, try altering the wording of your riddle slightly so you can't simply plug it into 'Google' and get the answer 1961 reads the same upside down too + 4000yrs [or so] 5965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a direct result of him leaving his house 147 men women and children die. Why? Since snowbaby wasn't right [very good answer snowbaby, I might add] I got to thinking... The house is a houseboat at Niagara Falls. He runs off the boat & drowns [wasn’t wearing a life jacket- couldn’t swim]. The 147 people are his guests/ passengers, none of whom know how to steer the houseboat. The boat goes over the Falls & all come to a dramatic end at the bottom of the Falls.

As a direct result of him leaving his house 147 men women and children die. Why? He lives in a dome on the moon. He runs out the door and the lack of atmosphere kills him. He leaves the door open and lets all the (warm) air out and everyone in the dome dies. OR ...ok, I can't think of a more plausible one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted April 18, 2004 #222 Share Posted April 18, 2004 (edited) A man lives alone in a house. One day he goes crazy, runs out of the house and imediately dies. As a direct result of him leaving his house 147 men women and children die. Why? I've got it! The man is the lighthouse keeper. [lives alone in the light house] He goes insane runs out of the lighthouse, straight off the cliff and dies. Since there is no one to guide the ships, a boat carrying 147 men women and children crashes into the rocks, leaving no survivors.

Potholer Posted April 18, 2004 #223 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I think you might have it Dot9M Here's one that I thought was very nifty because I got it from a fantasy book I'm reading at the moment - I own no great hall But I do have a bed; I travel to and fro But I never leave home. I whisper and roar Yet I have no mouth My bounty is endless And so is my wrath Silver streams through me And azure above I let you rest on my skin And death lies within Who am I?

Hey Pothler, I'm working on yours...my first thought was Earth, but I don't think it's right. Try mine: "I see a wagon with one wheel, the wheel turns with no horse to pull it but the wagon never moves. Housewives revere it and make offerings of corn. How can this be ?"
