Did he have a mouth defect where you're always smiling?

your replies might just cause me to laugh to death... mouth defect.. how imaginative. But nope!

And yes, he is very dead indeed. But he died smiling.. why?
Noodelz
Sep 11 2005, 07:47 PM
He lived a good life, he is part of a lesser known religion.

PLEASE TELL!!! (I have to go in a bit, will you PM me and tell? pretty please??)Its killing me..
It was his DREAM to lie in a coffin. He was someone in Harry Potter and got 'avada kedavrad' happy. Someone drew a massive smiley face on him.

Sep 11 2005, 07:49 PM
No! He is just an ordinary guy like any of us. Except that he might be a little dumber.

Sep 11 2005, 07:49 PM
He didnt realise he was dead?
Was he not in his right mind when he died? Im thinking on drugs or something?
Violin-ann, is the answer really obcious or something?

Oh well, I have to go too. Maybe Nat will have to keep guessing until she records something for us to hear

I could just PM the answer.

Maybe not very obvious, but think, why did he smile.. that's the key. He's not alive and he's not thinking cos he's dead.

Sep 11 2005, 07:57 PM
There IS an answer. I'll give you guys a day (and other people a chance to guess too). I'll be back tomorrow if no-one gets it right!
Now, Noodelz, you should know me by now, I don't give riddles with no answers.. that's not fun! I still want to be on the forums

Edit:- And nope, nobody has guessed it yet!

I KNOW I KNOW!! (i doubt its right) All his FRIENDS are dead, so he's happy to see them?

I've got a riddle!
The king of the forest calls meeting to find out how the animals can come together to rid he jungle of pesky explorers. Whilst all the animals are on the way to meeting, they come across a group of those very explorers. The explorers in question are terrified at the sight of advancing lions and other animals. So they run. and run. and run. They climb over setts, and through lairs, and they come to a crocodile and alligator habited river. They must cross the river or face being eaten alive. How do they get across the river alive?

Is the river currently empty of crocodiles and alligators because they've gone to the meeting with the king of the jungle?

You are lucky, Z. My Australian friends tell me the only place with English weather in Australia is Melbourne. I presume you don't hail from there.

No, I'm a Perthite. On the west we have the Indian ocean. On the north, east, and south we have "the hills" (the Darling Scarpe). Past the Scarpe you'll find the desert. We have a "Mediterranean" climate.

Ok since Nat has relented to actually listen to some music to decide if she'll record, here's the answer to the riddle.
He thought someone was taking his picture, but it was actually a flash of lightning that struck him dead! Hence the broad smile and dumbness.

Some of your answers were really enjoyable!
