The Lateral Thinking Riddles.

Vapor · 01-07-2006, 05:19 PM

1. A a man threw some stones into a lake. As a Result he was fined. Why?

2.A man was killed with a peice of meat. How?

Try solving them!

***CaptHayfever*** · 01-07-2006, 05:58 PM

1) There was an ordinance against throwing stones in the lake.

2) He choked on it.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Prince Toad · 01-07-2006, 08:58 PM

1) He killed a duck.
2) What he said.

***Marilink*** · 01-07-2006, 10:37 PM

1. It was the Reflecting Pool of the Washington Monument.

2. Define what piece of "meat" this is.

Shane Sacobie · 01-07-2006, 11:00 PM

1. He littered.

2. I could go with choking. Or maybe the meat was frozen. Or a cow.

***Ace Mercury*** · 01-08-2006, 12:11 AM

1. The stones were attached to an unconscious person.

2. The piece of meat was... people!

Okay, a bit more seriously...

1. Well, to me, this sort of riddle implies that the stone was not an ordinary stone you find on the ground, and the lake is not an ordinary freshwater lake in the middle of somewhere. Maybe the stone was, like, a toxic stone, or the lake was a lake filled with people, or something weird.

2. Well, there are many ways for a guy to be killed by a piece of meat. He choked, it was a large piece of meat and it fell on him, it was still attached to a (dangerous) living animal, it attracted a dangerous animal, it was poisoned, it was infected, it was a piece of deadly poisonious animal, it was extra fatty and caused a cholesterol boost to cause a heart attack, he was diabetic and it caused blood-sugar levels to deviate too much, he was allergic to the meat but he ate it anyways, he stole the meat and then the owner shot him, there was a law where you couldn't eat meat and then he was hanged, custom officals thought that his suitcase full of meat was a bomb and he was shot as a precaution, the piece of meat was his brain that signaled his arms to shoot himself, the piece of meat was used as a stepstool to reach the gun cabinet and he shot himself, there was a bullet made out of meat and he was shot with it, there was a knife or another weapon made of meat and he was killed with it, he ordered extra pepperoni on his pizza and then the pizzaman who delivered shot him for not giving a tip, etc.

These sort of riddles are best told where you ask follow up questions, obviously.

Vapor · 01-08-2006, 09:12 AM

Yay Interest ^__^

Anyway, Prince Toad is Just a bit off, He killed an endangered animal!

and Ace Is CORRECT! the meat was poisoned.

Score:
Ace: 1

I hate riddles where there is more than one possible answer. It's just like saying you're thinking of a certain number (without writing it down) and asking other people to guess it.

They're not really riddles anyway. It's just asking a question, which has multiple correct answers and picking the one you like.
