I'm bored, and my reader had a book of riddles in it.


A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

...That's...a very depressing riddle.

The woman is a photographer.

What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?

Pretending that Batman's long string of riddles and answers does not exist...

Easy—the woman shot a photograph of her husband, then developed the film.

Now, since you’re so bored, why don’t you solve this one for me?

On a single-lane street there are five houses, each one painted a different color, with people of different nationalities, who all drink different kinds of beverages, smoke different brands of cigar, and keep different pets. The Brit lives in a red house, the Swede keeps dogs, and the Dane drinks tea. The green house is next to, and on the left of, the white house. The owner of the green house drinks coffee. The person who smokes Pall Mall raises birds, and the owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. The man living in the middle house drinks milk. The Norwegian lives in the first house. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats, the man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill, and the man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer. The German smokes Prince, the Norwegian lives next to the blue house, and the man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.
