Riddle: Charles woke up one morning to find himself trapped inside a prison made of what appeared to be unbreakable glass. Having no memory of how he got there, he looked around and was horrified to see two of his closest friends lying on their sides - dead. The last thing Charles remembered before falling asleep, was seeing both of his pals alive and in good health; but now they were both dead, and he wondered if he soon would be sharing their fate. As the days passed, his captors allowed him to have plenty of water, but allowed him only a few crumbs of food each day. Over time, Charles often heard his jailers talking amongst themselves, stating if he were ever able to escape his cell, he would certainly be dead within a matter of minutes. Who exactly is Charles, and why have his captors never been brought to justice?
Answer: Charles and his two friends were pet goldfish placed in an unbreakable glass fish bowl by their owners. Unfortunately, his two friends died.

Riddle: When the killer first entered the home of Mrs. Vivian Von Trapp, she was unaware of its presence for several days. She was doing the dishes one morning when she saw it basking in the sunshine which poured through her open kitchen window. As Vivian glanced toward the peaceful scene, she saw the killing machine in action for the very first time, as it slowly closed in for the kill, claiming its first victim of that day. This gave her a creepy sensation, and triggered a bizarre mental flashback of a scene from her teenage years when she tried putting on super-long false eyelashes in front of a mirror. Each time she closed her eyes, even slowly, the lashes would stick together every time. It took Mrs. Von Trapp some time to get this weird vision out of her head, but watching the killing machine reminded her of this. Later, she learned her son Dawson had accompanied the murderer into their home as he returned from his high school biology class, but neither Mrs. Von Trapp nor her son ever had any fear of it, despite its reputation as a known killer. It was at least ten days before another killing took place, and another life snuffed out of existence. This seemed to be its killing pattern. Mrs. Von Trapp began to feel a kind of twisted satisfaction in witnessing the deaths of the executioner’s victims; in fact, she felt happy about the deaths, not sad. Was Vivian a mentally disturbed individual who enjoyed witnessing death, or is there a much simpler and more pleasant explanation for these events? Just what was this unusual killing machine; who were its victims; and why did neither the mother nor her son have any fear of it?
Answer: The “killing machine” was a Venus Fly Trap plant which Dawson brought home from his high school biology class and put in his mother’s kitchen. Every ten days or so, it would catch a fly, which pleased Vivian, as she despised flies in her kitchen.
Riddle: What's always moving forward in front of you, but you can never see it?
Answer: The future.
Riddle: Pat was an underwater adventurer for most of his life. He came from a very large family who also were known for their ocean experiences. One day, while exploring an area of the ocean floor near a shark-infested region, Pat encountered one of the vicious beasts who bit off one of his arms, but left him alive. Not one of Pat’s numerous family members expressed any sadness or gave any words of comfort to him after the attack; however, a miraculous event began to take place for him —— his arm which had been chewed off, began to slowly grow back. It was a slow process, but within a year Pat’s arm was fully and miraculously restored; however, no mention of this incredible healing was reported in any medical journal or newspaper in the country. Just imagine —— a severed arm was completely regrown, but no one reported it or even noticed it! So, my question to you is: who exactly was Pat, and why didn’t this miraculous healing become known to the entire world?
Answer: Pat was a Starfish who lived in the ocean, and had the unique ability to regenerate it’s arms if any of them were ever lost.
