This is actually a true story, and took a while to work out by detectives. And I'm not suprised.

Deep in the forest was found the body of a man who was wearing only swimming trunks, snorkel and facemask. The nearest lake was 8 miles away and the sea was 100 miles away. How had he died?


I'll tell you the answer in a few days.

If Grix posts any more puzzles, I'll stab him too. Slowly. With something blunt.

I knew someone didn't like you Grix, it couldn't be Ant, hes too small, BJlangley would be too intrested in his drawings to kill you and would not like to leave his wife, Elitesniper likes you too much and might get blood on his magazine, maybe you killed yourself seeing as you were the only one not checked for murder weapons. i dunno.

Bringing this back up... Bleugghhhh...

Elitesniper, Sheepy, Grix, and bjlangley all go to the sauna on Fridays. Of course, in a sauna, no-one can see much at all, only as far as about a few inches from their face.

Every Friday, Elitesniper brings in his copy of EDGE magazine, and does nothing but read in the sauna. He doesn't mind his magazine getting a bit wet. After all, it will dry off.

SHEEPY always brings a themos, with piping hot tea inside. He simply waits in the steam, and drinks his tea.

Me? I bring nothing. I just sit there, and relax in the steam.

BJ brings in a pencil and paper, and does sketchs. His work doesn't get that wet, and, as I said before, it will dry.


One friday, after an hour in the sauna, everybody leaves, and are worried to find that Grix hasn't left yet.

They go back in, and find that Grix has been stabbed in the back.


Detective Ant, on call that night, searches the remaining three, and find no murder weapon. There is nothing left inside the sauna, and there are no windows, or vents to throw things down.

So who killed me? And how?

Humm... Right. The 60's? Are they important?

What happened in the 60's... Gangsters...


Perhaps it was a call to check if someone was home? Say, the unfamilar room was a phonebox?

Damn. I never counted on you having the bumper book of riddles! Foiled again! :-)

I got the first two pretty quickly too, but I must admit that the third one had me stumped. You can ask questions.

Resevior dogs started 37 mins ago on film 4! can't believe i'm missing that, I switched film 4 off two weeks ago! so, so annoyed! I havn't seen that film! oh yeah, Ghost was on about 3 hours ago, but that really doesn't help you, if you want a comedy you could watch a chnl5 film, but thats more like torture than comedy.
