A riddle for all you smart guys/gals... - GoFuckYourself.com

TeraBabes · 10-02-2002, 08:28 PM

A man walks into a restaurant and orders Albatross. He takes one bite of it and dies moments later.

The first person to post EXACTLY why the man died (not just the cause of death, but the reason for the cause of death) wins. The prize is bragging rights and $0 cash.

Rules:
1. If you've heard this before, don't play.
2. No trying to find the answer on the internet. That's cheating. Use your brain only. And for the record, I looked for it and the version of this riddle I am finding is completely different than the version I heard years ago, so you'd be wrong anyway. But still - no looking.

You may ask me as many "Yes/No" questions as you like. Ready? Go.

Did you not read rule #2??? You adult webmasters just can't follow rules, can you?

Anyway, that is the version of this that I found that is NOT the answer I am looking for.

A reasonable guess, but no.

You guys should ask yes/no questions instead of just guessing.

mastamindz · 10-02-2002, 08:58 PM

He tried to eat the restaurant?

Morgan · 10-02-2002, 09:02 PM

he choked on the food and died?

Naw, PipeCrew is right. It's Feta Cheese. I saw it on CSI. Give him the $0 and the bragging rights.

Krome · 10-02-2002, 09:08 PM

Is it anything to do with the Ancient Mariner?

TeraBabes · 10-02-2002, 09:09 PM

No, he didn't try to eat the restaurant.
No, it wasn't feta cheese.
And no, he didn't choke and die.

1. Is it related to the golf term albatross?

2. Is it related to any drugs the albatross may have had? i.e. alkaseltzer?

Yes.

Krome · 10-02-2002, 09:57 PM

1) Does the riddle rely on an event that has happened in the past?
2) He he is a normal restaurant?
3) He is a member of Beasthunt?

american pervert · 10-02-2002, 09:58 PM

was he a spammer????

Jamdin · 10-02-2002, 09:58 PM

The man was allergic to seafood

Incorrect.

An no, he was not a spammer either

Kanoealoha · 10-02-2002, 10:02 PM

The bird was caught by locals and they used poison that doesn't go away after cooking, hence he dies!

I really don't know...

sumphatpimp · 10-02-2002, 10:03 PM

he ate the albatross and died, hence Visa chargeback. Gameover.

Kanoealoha · 10-02-2002, 10:04 PM

TeraBabes · 10-02-2002, 10:05 PM

No on the last two guesses.

The Visa one was close though. Oh wait, no it wasn't

Krome · 10-02-2002, 10:06 PM

So basically we have to guess the event that happened in the past which caused him to die?

a) Did he die as a direct result of eating the fucking bird? ie food poisoning, allergy etc
b) Did he take his own life?

Caroline · 10-02-2002, 10:08 PM

the albatross is an endangered animal, so the people from PETA killed him?

Probably the most likely answer yet.

Basically, yes.

a. No.
b. Yes.

Now you need to figure out exactly why he took his own life.

Nope. It was suicide. He pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head.

Krome · 10-02-2002, 10:18 PM

He ordered asparagus they brought him albratross (the two things look so similar) he ate it realised what he had eaten and because he worked for PETA he shot himself...

Jamie · 10-02-2002, 10:18 PM

Did the man kill himself?

Potentially misleading hint:

The man used to be a cook.

Kanoealoha · 10-02-2002, 10:40 PM

Upon eating the bird saying how great it was he found out the cook of the restaurant was his enemy and killed himself to spare the embarrassment! once again no clue

No sir.... not even close.

Kanoealoha · 10-02-2002, 10:46 PM

I give up...fuck the bird!
Chomp! *commits suicide (but i don't know why)

Kanoealoha · 10-02-2002, 10:56 PM

went and found the answer...damn this riddle is a bitch

Good Luck to all!

Krome · 10-02-2002, 11:01 PM

The man is a cook on a boat? The restaurant is on the boat..he has just eaten albatross which has obviously been killed hence all on the boat will die...if it is this answer I will be pissed because I aked if it had antyhing to do with the Ancient Mariner....ok I know htis is not the answer...

If the answer you found has anything at all to do with the guy's wife, it is incorrect (well, it's a different version anyway).

Kanoealoha · 10-02-2002, 11:08 PM

nope, nothing about a wife...
but i wonder if its the right answer...probably is...i hope

StuartD · 10-02-2002, 11:09 PM

Ooooh... I've heard this one before.... and gotten lots of people on it... however, my version it was a seagul... makes more sense.

oops, is that a hint for people?

Wenchy · 10-02-2002, 11:11 PM

Questions:

Does the past event have something to do with
1. a child,
2. girlfriend, or
3. just himself (i.e., something act he committed).

4. Did he use a weapon to kill himself (knife or gun)?
5. Did he use some other method such as poision?.

Weird structure, but this way they're yes/no questions

That could be a hint.... but actually an albatros makes more sense.

Since I am such a nice guy, here are THREE more hints for you:

1. The guy is an American.
2. He is single.
3. He used to be in the Navy.

You know that he killed himself after ordering Albatross in a restaurant and taking one bite of it. I also mentioned that he used to be a cook, but that probably isn't much help.
