JujuFish, you seem like an idiot.
Hmmm.. you're in 9th, maybe 10th grade?

Anyone can take a joke and bash at the answer, that's not the point. No riddle is perfect.

Here's a couple riddles from another riddle thread:
"A lady walks up a flight of stairs and the lights turn off. Now she knows her husband is dead. Where is she?"
Correct Answer: a hospital, and her husband is on life support
BUT: hospitals have many backup generators for these type of situations and they are pretty much always prepared. People on life support are monitored especially close. Plus, the instant the lights went off her husband wouldn't have died. Hell, there could have been a problem with the lighting and the life support machine could have been fine :roll:

"A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender then pulls out a .357, and points it at him, and thumbs back the hammer. The man says "thank you" and leaves."
Correct Answer: The man had the hiccups and that got rid of it
BUT: This would never happen. The bartender wouldn't risk getting charged withmanslaughter. Such a thing would never happen.. does this make the riddle stupid?? :roll:

"A man is found in a block of ice. Scientists think this man could be the biblical "Adam" - the first man. They invite the lead scientist over to examine the man to determine if it really is Adam. The lead takes one look at the man in ice and declares, "Yes. This is Adam, the first man on earth." How could he tell?"
Correct Answer: He had no belly button
BUT: There's no way you can be POSITIVE that this is Adam. He could have performed some ancient belly-button plastic surgery and gotten it removed. Hell, it could have been ripped off in a caveman battle and then new skin grew overtop, leaving no visible mark. So does that make the riddle wrong? :roll:

My point is that, just because a few MINOR details (such as that would never happen, that's stupid, etc) don't make the answer to a riddle incorrect.

P.S.: People did play games back in caveman times - and the main reason people shower IS peer pressure. People want to be clean to be attractive towards other people... if other people didn't care at all about appearance or hygeine they would shower much less just to avoid personal health problems... take very old people for example.. they shower much less than the average person
And.. you ignored my evolutionary pressure example? Even if the other is invalid, that still is correct
Celebrities DO look good, no? It's just when a stressful event or something comes up, they crack under pressure (easily) and then get BAD publicity.. they're still celebrities, though
Squeezing pressure: When you squeeze a balloon, you are not squeezing the rubber.. you're squeezing the pressure inside, making it increase and eventually explode.
And how does your ears popping not 'you' popping? Just because EVERYTHING doesn't pop doesn't mean you're not popping.

P.S.S.: You lose, STFU now 🙂

True, but I'm not bashing the answer. I'm bashing what you thought was the answer by googling the riddle. There's a big difference.

Here's a couple riddles from another riddle thread:

Irrelevant. I'm not nitpicking the correct answer. 🙂

My point is that, just because a few MINOR details (such as that would never happen, that's stupid, etc) don't make the answer to a riddle incorrect.

I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, the details as to why you're wrong aren't minor 😛

P.S.: People did play games back in caveman times - and the main reason people shower IS peer pressure. People want to be clean to be attractive towards other people... if other people didn't care at all about appearance or hygeine they would shower much less just to avoid personal health problems... take very old people for example.. they shower much less than the average person
And.. you ignored my evolutionary pressure example? Even if the other is invalid, that still is correct

Damn, I must be in the minority because I shower so I don't smell like sh!t 😉

Celebrities DO look good, no?

Depends on your definition of 'looking good' 😉

It's just when a stressful event or something comes up, they crack under pressure (easily) and then get BAD publicity.. they're still celebrities, though

Dude, I agreed with you on this one. 😕

Squeezing pressure: When you squeeze a balloon, you are not squeezing the rubber.. you're squeezing the pressure inside, making it increase and eventually explode.

That's not squeezing the pressure. You're really stretching for this one.

And how does your ears popping not 'you' popping? Just because EVERYTHING doesn't pop doesn't mean you're not popping.

So, I guess if I broke my hand, that means I'm broken? The better question is, how is your ears popping the same as you popping?

P.S.S.: You lose, STFU now 🙂

Hardly. You got the wrong answer, and now you're offended because you're wrong. Don't take it out on me, take it out on your source 😛
Oh, and it's PPS, not PSS. Have a nice day. 🙂
