I actually found most of the "real" answers to be nonsense. For instance, if you answer: "Because the were siamese twins", you could probably get about half of them right :P

wow spellcast...

by saying "i got all of these wrong apparently.....", i assumed that you would have already understood that HIS answers were nonsensical.

i found myself answering all the answers the way i thought i should have (the right way), but then came accross one i had never read before (#9)... at which point i saw one of his answers, then laughed.

it's comedy. life cant be serious all the time man.

The best answer is "The driver was a woman, and stopped randomly."

That's extreme lateral thinking, the kind that insane people do. Insane people obsessed with Stingray, siamese twins, goldfish, lighthouse operators, and who apparently is not fond of Tony Blair.

I gave up and just had a good laugh at his answers after I guessed for #2 that the surgeon was the kid's mom, and his answer was time travel.

"Thanks to new EU human rights legislation, all murderers now have to be set free and given a medal and a slice of cake"

What the fuck? No, seriously.

Oh, and Adolf and Eva both died taking strychnine, if I can recall correctly off the top of my head.

But I still laughed.

A History Channel investigation (at least, I think it was the History Channel, it might have been the Discovery Channel)found out Hitler shot himself. Apparently the russians claimed he had poisoned himself coz, in the world of suicide, taking poison is more cowardly than taking a gun to your head, and the russkies didn't even want to give him that.

As for the questions, or rather, the answers, not even ananzi is that trippy.

Aha. Learn something new every day. But Eva Braun took poison, didn't she?
