Looking at it again, I guess both of these are possible. The answer was / is... he was a letter-bomber. The letter was returned... you get the rest. 1/2 points for both of you.




When the woman saw him she was upset. Even though she had never seen him before, she had left some food for him because she knew he would be hungry. But he could not reach the food because he had a iron bar across his back. He died soon after and the woman was now pleased. What's going on?



Off to do some work. See you in an hour or so...

The horse was walking around in a circle ( grinding grain into flour or something)

Outside legs have to go farther than inside legs.

It went in a Circle

The outside legs travel farther than the inside.

By one mile actually, when you calculate the size of the horse and the circle, plus the Horse Shiit that knvb is asking us.

Walked in circles

I don't know what scarier, Slivers mad Logic skills or the HOS may have got that one by himself. Amazing. I though Kurgan and Jinky would be more involved in this. Perhaps even Buckfast.

Here is one for them just in case they haven't been on yet.



Buckfast who is three feet tall puts a nail into a tree at his exact height. He returns two years later when he has grown by six inches and the tree has grown by twelve inches. How much taller is the nail than the Buckfast?

You've got it wrong. "The Buckfast" is now 6 inches taller than the height of the nail. Trees grow at the top, not from the bottom.

Really now, "the" buckfast? Let's not be ridiculous. :rolleyes:

What's with everyone bitching on my typo's today. Bastards, get some new material. Still, you are correct. The nail won't rise.

Last one for today...


In ancient Ireland, a king had two sons, each of whom wanted to inherit the kingdom. The king decreed that each should be put in a separate rowboat about one mile from shore and told to row in. The first to touch the shore would inherit the kingdom. The elder and stronger son rowed more quickly and was about to touch the shore with the younger son some 20 yards behind him and farther out to sea. How did the younger son inherit the kingdom?

Shoulda asked for directions.

The older and stonger son rowed the wrong way and reached the wrong shore.

The younger brother dove out of his boat and dove down to touch the bottom, or shore, before the older brother touched the dry shore.

Am I close :confused:

Variation on the Power

Either he died as The Power suggests after he became King, or he drowned and didn't make it to shore but the younger brother did. It depends on how you interpret when the younger brother inherits the kingdom.
