I am standing in front of a picture.
Brothers and sisters I have none, that man's father is my father's son.
Who is the picture of?

I remember this one from when I was a boy, and the answer I was always told agrees with what others have already said - 'picture of yourself'. But I'm now having trouble getting my head around that.

If you have no brothers or sisters, then your father's son has to be yourself. But this riddle refers to that person's father "...that man's father is (yourself)". Therefore, that must be a picture of your son. In order for it to be a picture of yourself, surely the rhyme would have to go

Brothers and sisters have I none,
but that is my father's son.

As I walked over Westminster Bridge I met a Westminster Scholar. He drew off his gloves and drew off his hat. What is the name of that scholar?

Andrew (I remember that from long ago, too).

A character in the Bible (the original not the Selfsufficientish bible), not mentioned by name who died a death like no-one else in history.

As a guess, Lot's wife (pillar of salt)?

This also from long ago - three pieces of coal are lying on the ground. How did they get there? (Clue: they weren't dropped, thrown or put there).

Stew is right!

My guess is, LA, that in the old testament a number of people were struck dead!

That can't be right, I'm sure I saw someone turned into a pillar of salt in the supermarket the other day......

[Wombat]

Well I did warn you about shopping at the S&G (Sodom & Gomorrah) hypermart.

Correct. But you might have made it last a bit longer...

Yeah but who else was crucified like Peter?

[Andy Hamilton]

Ok a dark one here.

A woman while at the funeral of her mother, meets a met a man whom she did not know. She thought he was amazing, her dream guy, and she fell in love with him but never asked for his number and could not find him after the funeral. A few days later the girl killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

or my favorite and a difficult one - A bloke walks into a restaurant, he orders albatross soup, takes one spoonful and runs out and kills himself, why?

Hmm, seems like it is only the dark ones that I remember.

Dunno Jack, but the other part of the riddle was that they were not mentioned by name.....

She fell in love with the funeral director? And could only think of another funeral to see him again?

[Andy Hamilton]

Nope the bloke was not connected with the funeral business, his job is immaterial.

I know the albatross soup one - lateral thinking - but I won't say the answer, as it's not fair if I've already heard it.
I know loads of theselateral thinking ones, that's what we used to do in science lessons at school when we were supposed to be studying (but don't tell my students that!!)

Yep it is a good one that one. I was told it when I was very young and it stuck. Took me ages to get it.

The other one I never got and had to be told it.

i cheated and googled

Answer:
She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again. If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath.

This was a test by a famous American psychologist used to test if someone has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in this test and answered it correctly. If you didn't answer correctly - good for you.


and the answer to my riddle was a s you all guessed
Body in coffin, and bearers
