well, I'll just steal all of Bookem's answers *grin* But, I'm eliminating myself, because after the last quiz I found a site that gave all the riddles and their answers. So, It's too much like cheating for me. Although I didn't post answers to the last quiz. I timed out while I was thinking and didn't realize that my post didn't take until too late. *grin* I only had 4 or 5 of them anyway.

Oh, and I've had #2 happen. Never throw ashes off a beach cliff. *grin* the wind is nearly ALWAYS blowing toward you.

Here are the answers:

1) He ate a posined popsicle.
2) She was scattering her husband's ashes only to have the wind blow them back to her.
3) He was an astronaut in outerspace when his suit teared.
4) He was in a sunken ship.
5) He stabbed himself with an icicle.
6) She was a tightrope walker. The music stopped a little too early so she thought she was at the platform and stepped off to her death.
7) She was a knifethrower's assistant. Her new shoes were too tall so the knifethrower's aim was off.
8) He had killed his wife on his birthday and was dragging her body inside the house when all of his friend's shouted surprise. Caught in the act, he shot himself.
9) The ice cubes were poisined. One person drank his drink quickly not letting the ice cubes melt and the other drinks much more slowly.
10) While on an airplane he sees a bird and it gets sucked into one of the engines.

Bonus:
He was a beekeeper. The bees didn't recognize the new scent so they stung him to death.

*drumroll*
The winner is.... bookem!

By the way, I watch Mythbusters, too. Great show!

We haven't had a sleuthy one for a while...

All of these clues point to a Detectives Name... They're all on the high scores lists or littered throughout the most recent posts on the boards... I've given you a he/she to 'help'... :) I tried not to make them too obtuse.

An Example: He's a Crime solving rodent = Secret Squirrel

1. She's 'only joking'...
2. She's The Jewell of Nobility in this English Shire.
3. Is this where he really found his thrill (or was that LED?)
4. It's only raw fish for this little feline detective...
5. Her voice might lure you in, but then you'll hear she's just singing, 'I'm so pretty'.
6. Malcom's sister?
7. He's either got an attitude, or just a very nasty case of wind...
8. Is he a horse-riding time-keeper?
9. She's an author lost in the fog.
10. She sounds like a chocolate softdrink.

Bonus: Clues for many, help for all.
