    Post your favorites of all time.. I got some good ones... to begin:

    Two people are standing next to each other on a bridge. One is the father of the other one's son, what relationship are they?

    Important*** We should implement a rule if you are answering a question, you put it in Spoiler tags.

    the two would be Husband/Wife or Father/Mother or Rapist/Rapee or Biological/Surrogate

    Ok, my turn:

    Imagine that you're in a sinking rowboat and surrounded by hungry sharks! You have 10 seconds to act, otherwise the sharks would surround you, How can you escape this?

    The dead body ones are always great....

    There is a dead body in the middle of the desert. There are no footprints around the body, except for the deceased. The body has no obvious signs of physical trauma except for a hole in his suit. How'd he die? (he was not shot)

    I would say sky-diver, but hole in suit is not matching up vs chute!

    Ok, my 2nd....

    What most recently happened in 1961 but will not happen until 6009?

    What 3 letter word is one syllable but if you add one letter onto the end (to make it a 4 letters word) it becomes a 3 syllable word ?

    Both the 3 letter word and the 4 letter word are commonly used.

    Question...how big is the hole in his suit? And when you say "except for the deceased" do you mean his footprints or just his body?

    He had a heart attack while taking a stroll in the desert wearing a suit with a hole in it.

    Elementary, my dear Watson.

    No, perfectly in line with the evidence.

    But you'd make a great addition to political debates if you only accept the explanation you're looking for :shifty:

    how big is the hole in his suit? it's small. smaller than any bullet hole.

    I don't know what you're getting at with the second question... the footprints, the only footprints are his. It's straight forward. It's not a riddle where words mean other things. He's walking in a desert, his feet leave prints behind him as he walks, just like you'd expect. Except they stop at his body, as he is dead and can no longer walk :lol:

    Strictly rhetorically speaking, of course. Rhetorically.

    On topic, however, I figure this is something like astronaut on the moon + hole in the suit = suffocating to death.
