Whoa, I've missed everything!

There is not some way to have an e-mail sent to you everytime somebody posts to a thread, is there?  I've seen this done in other discussion boards.  I think it would be helpful in this thread.

sudden realization over WHICH puzzle it was that I'd heard before.

Since I've already given it away, the one I was thinking of was how a guy hung himself 10 feet off the floor with no furniture around and a pool of water on the floor. He was standing on an ice block
now I have to think of another.

lol....that would have been a good one

[scAri]

e, we need a new riddle...

[Firemeboy]

If nobody objects, I'll post an interim puzzle.  One meant only to entertain until e comes and give the 'official' puzzle.

A security guard is making his rounds at a hospital.  He is walking by a closed door when he hears the following.  "Frank!  Don't do it!"  Then there are three shots, a thud, and a clatter.

The guard bursts into the room and sees a dead body, a gun, lying on the floor, and three other people in the room, a minister, a doctor, and a plumber.  He walks directly to the minister and arrests him.

How did he know it was the minister?

You can ask yes/no questions if you need to.

Is the minister's name Frank?  

[Legion]

I am guessing the killers name is Frank (AKA a man) the plumer and Doctor were my guess women and a minster(i think) has to be a man.  Therefore he is the most likely suspect.

[Firemeboy]

Legion got it.  Yes, the minister's name was Frank, but the cop didn't know that.  But he surmised that because the doctore and the plumber were women.

[Legion]

sweet I will post one in a little bit, as long as E does not beat me to it....YOU HEAR THAT E....it is suppose to be your turn.

[Firemeboy]

Maybe that can be a side challenge.  See how many puzzles we get in while waiting for e.

Ok try this one
"If, having only one match, on a freezing winter  day, you entered a room which contained a lamp, a kerosene heater, and a wood burning stove, which should you light first."

[Firemeboy]

The match.

lol, was hoping people would over look that, but your right of course
