As long as it's free for all time...

A corpse is found hanging from the roof of a very large room. His feet are 6 feet from the ground. There are no ladders,tables, etc. His head is 5 feet from the ceiling. There's nothing in the room he could have used to get up there. And it's definitely not murder since the guy was known to be suicidal.

How did he hang himself?

i know it was a joke, and i took it as such, but it wasn't within the spirit of this thread either.. if people post tricks or stories, then the thread goes to s**t, as you won't know which is real.

lighten up, you too, can't people just let me be fat, you sound like my wife :dodgy:

Four men went across the plains from one village to another. They were with each other for the entire journey; they were all wearing the same clothes; and they used no vehicles. While they were walking, it began to rain, and the rain didn't stop until long after they reached their destination.

However, three of the men got soaking wet on their journey, while one stayed absolutely dry. How is this possible?

I'm sorry it's not my turn- but I just remembered a riddle my uncle once told me...

Heres an image:

User posted image

These 4 souls have been condemned to death for some reason or another. But, the king likes to give people a second chance, so he comes up with this little puzzle.

He burries the 4 prisoners in sand so that their arms are restricted, and they cannot turn their heads to look behind them, and puts a hat on each of their heads. There are 2 black hats, and 2 white hats.

He places a wall in between them, too, such that A cannot see anyone else, B cannot see anyone else, C can see only B, and D can see both B and C.

Now, the point of this: The king says that if ONE of the men can say what color hat he has on, all 4 will be set free. If not, they all die. They have as long as they want to figgure it out.

So, how do they figgure it out? And who says what color hat he is wearing? There are 2 answers, depending on the arrangement of the hats (The one shown isn't the only way the hats can be arranged.)

Oh, and there actually IS a logical explanation- it's nothing stupid like a bird flies by and knocks one of their hats off, or the material heats up so they know it's black, or anything like that.

For one, my sig reflects nothing upon my personality, its just a few words under a green line. Secondly, Theres a lot of reasons why I dont like to watch MTV. One, because there isnt any music on MTV, and dont even try to say there is. Sure, theres a music video..Every 30 commercials or so, thats if there isnt a "Diary" or "Road Rules" marathon on. Secondly, I dont really like music. Besides some Jazz and Harmonica tunes, I like to stay away from music. I tends to annoy me.

As for Death, I am going to ignore him from now on.
