They're goldfish that fell from a windowsill?

I don't understand why they couldn't be 2 people who had a fight and fell through a balcony window. Am I missing something?

Wow--they really musta busted your deity powers!
Where'd the water come from?
Capuchin
Feb 23, 2007, 05:47 PM
It was raining?

Not as far as the question says MonkeyBoy... ;)
Capuchin
Feb 23, 2007, 05:55 PM
It doesn't state either way. It just says "surrounded by water". That says raining to me. I don't get why this is a riddle at all.

It's missing the important bit of information that the windows are closed and unbroken, or something similar.
Capuchin

Ah thank you Nosnosna :) Ever the voice of reason!
(need to spread the rep)

Um, I like the first answer, fish. The fishbowl is full of water, and it fell out the window.

I know how it's possible. They fell out of the 27th floor with a glass of water or something in their hand. I don't really see how it's not possible.
Nosnosna

They forgot to let go of the ice sculpture they were throwing out the window!

Capuchin-----you think waaaaaaayyy too much!
Simplify, it hurts less. LOL!

Mine is the simpler solution :p

The fishbowl answer is right.Dangit, you got it on the first try.It took me like 30 minutes.
But you had good answers.

Here's another one...
A scientific expeditions in the North Pole uncovers a cave. In that cave they find the two perfectly preserved bodies of two people. A man and a woman. The bodies have been in this frozen state for many thousands of years. A scientist is brought in to determine what he can about them.
He looked over the bodies carefully and concluded that they were the bodies of Adam and Eve. How could he know this?
Capuchin
Feb 25, 2007, 07:24 AM
They had the same DNA? Heh.
robynhgl
Feb 25, 2007, 07:28 AM
He looked at the bodies and he knew. No DNA tests.

One of them had an apple in their hand?
worthbeads
Feb 25, 2007, 07:32 AM
How did he know?
robynhgl
Feb 25, 2007, 07:35 AM
No apple. He could tell just by looking at them...
I'll give you the answer later. But I'll answer your guesses so you can figure it out.

Continental Drift?
robynhgl
Feb 25, 2007, 07:37 AM
LOL! No continental drift that I'm aware of...
Capuchin
Feb 25, 2007, 07:38 AM
They had leaves over their privates.

One was missing a rib?
Capuchin
Feb 25, 2007, 07:54 AM
No belly buttons?
RubyPitbull

Capuchin, just found this thread. The no belly buttons was what popped into my mind when I read robyn's riddle.
Regarding the OP at top, Nosnosna was right, Addy left out a crucial piece of info in the riddle.
robynhgl

No belly buttons is correct.
If they were created--there would be no need for an umbilical cord.
Smart Monkey! LOL!
RubyPitbull

Yes, robyn, Capuchin is one smart monkey! :) If you look at some of the monkey's posts, you will see some mind boggling answers. Definitely leaves me in awe at the way that brain operates!
robynhgl
Feb 25, 2007, 09:08 AM
Yes--I've noticed that he's a pretty smart kid. A rather dry sense of humor too that I think is great.

I would hazard a very safe guess that one day, Capuchin will be world leading in his field of choice.
Capuchin
Feb 25, 2007, 09:15 AM
Lol ruby shush.
RubyPitbull
Feb 25, 2007, 09:25 AM
Okay. Is this better?--- You scare the bejesus out of me kid! I don't ever want to tangle with you in a course of mental agility. You would leave me in the dust!

Sorry about that dudes and dudettes.
It has been a long time since I heard that riddle.But you are right, I left out some things
RubyPitbull
Feb 25, 2007, 04:09 PM
No honey. It has been a while since I have seen that riddle but Nosnosna hit on it. There is an additional piece to it and it goes something like, the sun is shining and the window was open, not broken. As I said, I can't really remember the exact wording.

Oh thanks! Now I'm going to have nightmares! The MonkeyBoy a leader! Yikes!
(Bet you're right though... he's really something! But don't tell him I said so---wouldn't want to embarrass him!)

Does that mean God has no belly button, as he created man in his own image?
RubyPitbull
Feb 26, 2007, 08:27 AM
Of course. If you are a believer of what is taught in the Bible, Eve was "cursed" by God to give birth, after failing to heed God's warning not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. So, the concept of childbirth was created then, not before.
This riddle is drawn upon the teachings of the Bible.
Capuchin
Feb 26, 2007, 08:37 AM
So bellybuttons are an embodiment of sin!
FUN!!
So what is bellybutton lint? Should we not be collecting it in jars? :P
RubyPitbull
Feb 26, 2007, 08:53 AM
I thought everybody already did that!:confused:
:p
Capuchin
Feb 26, 2007, 08:57 AM
I meant "should we not" as "we shouldnt"
Why aren't more christians getting their navels removed? :p
robynhgl
Feb 26, 2007, 09:28 AM
If we had 'em removed--where would the lint come from?
worthbeads

Instead of using lint to wrap around ourselves to keep warm, we would have to light candles fro our earwax.

I always hesitate to jump in on biblical arguments, but actually, the bible says that God made childbirth painful, implying that if she hadn't "fallen" it wouldn't have hurt. I've always assumed it was an allegory explaining the pain and danger of childbirth... but then I tend to look at the bible in allegorical terms more often then not anyway.
