Riddle me this, riddle me that... |
|
Thought I'd throw up a riddle..
There was this Captain of a ship who was blind.
One day before they set out for sail, they stopped at a bar.
The old blind man and his crew ordered this RARE bird.
The blind took his 1st bite from this bird and said "WOW! This is awesome!"
So the crew set out for sea, looking for the island that this rare bird lived on.
While sailing, a bad thunderstorm came and it struck a bolt of lighting crashing into the ship.
It tore the ship into hundreds of pieces killing everyone but the blind man and another crew memeber.
The blind man and the crew man washed ashore this island.
Days passed.
Both men were getting hungry and becoming sick so the blind man said to his crew memeber, " I can't go on anymore like this. We either eat, or we die. I want you to set out on this island and see if you can find this bird. We must eat!!"
The other crew member began his mission.
After hours, he came back with some meat.
The blind man was so happy when the crew member told him he found some so the blind man said, "Well shit, what are you waiting for?!? Cook it!!"
(don't ask me where they got a fire lmao this is how the riddle was told to me)
The crew member started to cook. He then served the blind captain.
The blind man took his 1st bite, and was so disgusted with it, that it killed him!
Why is this?!?!

obviously the crewmember didnt know how to cook, and the captain got food poisoning and died.

I didn't read this until after i gave the hint. But i'm going to give it to you voodoo. You're right. The crew memeber searched for the RARE bird but didn't have much luck cuz they washed ashore on the WRONG island. He didn't wanna his captain who has lead him through many adventures to be DISAPPOINTED, so the only thing he could come up with was.. THE FLESH from the other CREW MEMBERS who were killed from the THUNDERSTORM. The captain was so DISGUSTED, that it killed him.

obviously this isnt a riddle based on logic or play on words then....infact...i dont even see how this is a riddle, if the answer isnt within the question.

Are you kidding me?!?!
This is for sure a riddle.
It takes time to think about. You can't focus on what's in the story but other possibilities. That's the point of RIDDLES. To throw people off and make them think of all the out comes. Most people concentrate on the "BIRD" the whole time and they never get it.
Guess you don't meat the standards for this riddle. I'm sorry.
Don't be so mad you didn't get it. Life goes on.
Sooooooooo......
Here's one you might get....
A man rides into town on Friday. Stays 3 days. He leaves on Friday.
How is this possible?!?!
I'll even give you a hint:
The horse's name is FRIDAY!
Ooops.. that was the answer.
O well.. Didn't want ya to bust your brain any more then you hafta.

this "riddle" of yours has many answers, therefore making it not a riddle.
who says that the meat the captain ate was one of his dead crew members? hell, it could have been an animal that had toxins in its system, you don't know.

he got really disgusted and died because he was eating his own wife on the island. i think this is the answer, but i forgot how i came to the conclusion by now.

the point of a riddle, is to have the answer somewhere in the question. your "riddle" is so open, that anyones answer could be right.
how do you prove it was a dead crew member he ate? how do you prove it wasnt undercooked meat, over cooked meat, or any of the other answers? there is no way. there is nothing in your "riddle" that suggests its a dead crew member (no "the thunderstorm" doesnt hint anything). so its not a riddle.
your other
"A man rides into town on Friday. Stays 3 days. He leaves on Friday.
How is this possible?!?!"
is a well known riddle, and has the answer in the question. "rides". however, it is supposed to be a 'cowboy', not a man.
another good example is
"Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the World?"
