14:59:46 Mar 29th 09 - Lady Santa The Green Eyed:

Oeww thats actually a very nice solution :)

But to be honest - please don't hate me - there's no real answer :)
It was a story I just made up :) But I do like your answer Jef ;)

04:43:59 Mar 30th 09 - Mr. Jefzwang:

wtf?!?!


04:44:55 Mar 30th 09 - Mr. Jefzwang:

there is a dead man lying in a puddle of blood and water on the floor of a locked room.  what happened?


05:57:20 Mar 30th 09 - Mr. Rambutan:

 he smashed himself over the head with a block of ice until he died , then the ice melted


11:14:10 Mar 30th 09 - Duke Random:

hes not really dead hes just pretending and he wet himself because hes not toilet trained. :)


17:16:27 Mar 30th 09 - Sir Santa:

Well obviously a man was locked up in there. Then, as foodsupply, they threw in a frozen corpse. When the corpse had finally melted(or so it was thought), the man ate some of it but in the process, broke several teeth. Blood came gushing out of his mouth onto the floor and all around the dead man. Then you came in and you saw a dead man lying in a pool of blood and water. There, there, thats the answer :)


01:29:43 Apr 1st 09 - Mr. Jefzwang:

nope, nope.


03:24:42 Apr 2nd 09 - Mr. Dessel:

u guys wanna answer?


04:33:11 Apr 2nd 09 - Mr. Rambutan:

    I'm tired of playing jeff's  games, I'm still pissed about the one that had no answer  -_-


05:06:18 Apr 2nd 09 - Lord Zany Zorander:

HE STABBED HIMSELF WITH A KNIFE!

...Only the knife was made of ice...


05:37:13 Apr 2nd 09 - Demonslayer William Berkeley:

He slipped stepping out of the bathtub, smashed his skull on something hard, and bled all over the ground(he was wet in case anyone thinks he bathed dry for some weird reason) The bathroom was locked because usually most people lock the door.


06:05:56 Apr 2nd 09 - Mr. Dessel:

zany got it, the man stabbed himself w an icicle, but i think william's answer is actually better than the real one!!!!!!  lol

a man turned on the radio in his car, then pulled over and shot himself.  why?


07:52:00 Apr 2nd 09 - Mr. Rambutan:

      When he turned the radio on, the knob broke off and Gwen Stefani was playing. Just then he noticed he was completely naked, and his car door was missing. As he was driving with Gwen Stefani on full blast, sitting naked in his broken car, he drove past his pastor, his father, all of his best friends, his fiancee, and his high-school gym coach. He knew the only course of action at this point would be to pull over and shoot himself. 

       Optional:

     On the radio was a commercial for diabetes monitors. The man was diabetic, and it reminded him to take his insulin. He then pulled over and "shot" himself with insulin.


06:11:00 Apr 3rd 09 - Mr. Dessel:

no. and no.


06:25:55 Apr 3rd 09 - Lord Zany Zorander:

The man a DJ-turned-AXE-MURDERER.  He did music and shows and stuff like that at the local radio station.  One night, he had this strong urge to kill his wife - to remove that haunt from his life once and for all, in the hopes that he could relieve some of his misery (and bring his affair with the lady down the street out into the open).  And so, he put an album on, drove home, and AXE MURDERED his wife; the album was playing, the drive was short, and EVERYONE in the area would hear him working his magic on the radio - a PERFECT alibi!  But on the drive back to the station, he happened to turn on the radio, and to turn it to his station and his show.  The record was skipping, and then he knew that his alibi was gone - in fact, he had turned his PERFECT alibi into the PERFECT incrimination, for EVERYONE in the area would hear the horrendous, continuous record skip at the hour of his wife's death.  Instead of fleeing across the border like every good AXE MURDERER knows to do, the man decided to end the risk of being thrown into the SLAMMER right then and there.  He pulled over to the side of the road, put a gun to his temple, and pulled the trigger - a bullet buried itself into his brain, faster than he could blink, and thus our villain died.  Why was the man an AXE MURDERER when he also carried a gun, or conveniently had one in his car?  Who knows, and who cares?  The important part is that this puzzle is solved.


00:33:56 Apr 4th 09 - Sir Santa:

Wauw...your excessive use of capitals when writing "axe murderer" frightens me...

And I didn't wonder why he was an axe murderer if he had a gun. I was wondering why he didn't use the axe to kill himself :S


01:51:01 Apr 4th 09 - Mr. Dessel:

why didnt he just kill his wife WITH THE GUN?!?!?!?! eh smart ones? 

btw thats almost the rite answer close enough, except with the gun, not axe.  and he wanted to kill his wife cuz he knew SHE wz having affair.  not him.


02:04:51 Apr 4th 09 - Lord Zany Zorander:

*facepalms*

For lack of a better response.


10:24:16 Apr 4th 09 - Mr. Rambutan:

 my answers were WAY better


18:29:08 Apr 5th 09 - Mr. Dessel:

the music stopped.  she died.  why, how? 


22:39:50 Apr 5th 09 - Mr. Seloc:

She was a blind tiet rope walker yadda yadda yadda.


23:04:14 Apr 5th 09 - Sir Santa:

She was walking in a swimming pool. In the middle of this swimming pool there was a floating radio, connected to a wall socket trough an isolated cable lying at the bottem of the pool. However, while walking she failed to notice the cable and tripped over it, pulling the cable out with her feet. As the cable left the socket, the radio lost its only power source and thus, the music stopped. Right at that time, the woman got electrified, dying in an instant. God rest her soul :(


23:21:20 Apr 5th 09 - Demonslayer William Berkeley:

She was playing musical chairs where the loser gets shot. XD


04:29:52 Apr 6th 09 - Trigger Happy Mad Man:

The opera was over ?


01:05:31 Apr 7th 09 - Mr. Kasim:

Seloc got it.  She was a tightrope walker, whose act was to walk across a rope blindfolded and when the music stopped step off the rope onto a platform.  there was a fill-in conductor (the regular one was sick) who didnt know that edits had been made to the music, thus she missed the platform and plunged to her death.

a man is coming back from switzerland by train...if he had been in a non-smoking car he may have died.  why?


00:53:48 Apr 10th 09 - Lord Zany Zorander:

The man once was blind, but now can see!  He went to Switzerland to meet the great Swiss physician What's-His-Name, who miraculously restored his eyesight!  But during the long train ride from Switzerland to his home in London (or anyplace, really), the train drove through the Chunnel (or any tunnel), and in the darkness the man thought that he was blind again!  It was rather silly of him, because he had just seen the entrance to the Chunnel, and marveled at this wonder that he had never been able to see before.  In his despair, he decided to jump from the train and kill himself.  But then he noticed a bright orange light - the glow of a cigarette next to him told him that he was not, in fact, blind again (although he was rather silly, if you ask me), and so he decided not to kill himself after all.  If not for that cigarrette, he may have killed himself and died that day.

A man is driving somewhere, and turns on the radio.  He listens for a few minutes, and then turns the car around, goes home, and shoots his wife.



01:46:51 Apr 10th 09 - Mr. Kasim:

he wz listening to this program where they call random ppl, n they called his number but a male voice answerd rather than his wifes.........

a man is simply sitting in bed.  then he makes a fone call but says nothing, and afterwards goes back to sleep.  why?


03:46:30 Apr 10th 09 - Lord Zany Zorander:

That one is already in this thread!

He was in a hotel, and the guy next door was snoring.  He called the room, and the ringing woke the other guy up, so he could then sleep in peace.


09:25:51 Apr 10th 09 - Demonslayer William Berkeley:

For Zorander's...

He had secret microphones in his bedroom and his radio was hooked up to it.  He heard his wife cheating and capped her when he went home?
(Yeah that is wrong, but I am bored)


16:31:54 Apr 10th 09 - Lord Zany Zorander:

Oh.  Oops, I forgot to say that Kasim got it right.
