I've heard that one before... always liked it. I won't post the answer, in case some people are trying to be clever and figure it out.

PC/PETA version of an old classic:Two fathers and two sons take an ecologically-friendly photo safari on foot (without carrying deadly firearms, thank goodness) to a non-threatened, non-rainforested area of a non-African country, nor any third-world country currently being exploited by the United States military, venture capitalists, or employees of Halliburton, Inc.Each father and each son takes a digital photograph (using humane, non-lethal means, not to mention the latest digital technology) of a colorful, but common non-endangered jungle species not threatened with extinction (and whose name was withheld to protect all innocent non-endangered wildlife species). When they get home, they have only a total of three digital photographs. No camera, computer, or other hardware or software malfunction occurred. No photographs were lost during the safari.So, why are there only three photographs?NOTE: Billions of electrons were tortured, abused, and a few were aimlessly redirected, but no living creatures were harmed or otherwise treated inhumanely in the creation of this riddle.

This one tests if your a psychopath. If you get it right, your a psychopath.A woman goes to her mothers funeral. While there she meets and falls instantly in love with a man. She does not get any contact information, not even his name.Three days later she muders her sister.Why did she kill her sister?

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Sat Sep 30, 2006 4:22 pm

cause she was with the man she fell in love with at the funeral? (its a guess)

Did you figure it out or had you seen it before?It's actually easy to figure it out if you substitute values (any value) for the variables, but most people are just checking the logic.

Renfeld · Post by **Renfeld** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 9:47 am

Ok, for the less search friendly of you.If you answered, "So she could meet the guy again." Your a psychopath. If not, then your in good standing. Now, go out and ask your family & friends & your g/f & wives. I already have a friend whos wife is a psychopath as per the correct answer.
