COLD DARK ROOM

[johnandjade]

True story.
Two brothers had a variety stage act.
One brother punches a member of the audience and the other brother is arrested.
Why ?

to get arrested and escape the cell as an act?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

They're identical twins?

Hi, Abdulla.
Almost correct.
Points.
Chang and Eng Bunker were conjoined Siamese twins ( ie. from Thailand). They went on a boat to the USA and made some money as an entertainment act.
They lived til they were 63, each married one of a pair of sisters and had 21 children.
On the boat trip to the US they had a fight over whether they wanted a cold bath or not and had to be 'separated ', so to speak, by the crew and Captain, but usually they got on very well.
One of them took to drink and the other didn't.
Cheng died one night and Eng woke up and gave a great howl of despair and wrapped himself around his brother and despite the doctor's attendance died within the hour.
Cheng, who had been drinking punched an audience member and was found guilty of common assault and the Judge decided because he'd have to imprison them both, it would be false imprisonment so he set them both free.

Shrimp?

whale?

Wah wah! Oops!
the minus points answer.
Nope.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Shrimp?

Yes, there is a layer of shrimps in some parts of the ocean that snap there claws together.
It's not the snapping of the claws, but the popping of air bubbles between them that is the loudest sound in the sea. pressed air projected at 30 feet per second and then popping.
When they come in close to land the sound can keep whole communities awake at night.
There are trillions of them and they can wipe out submarine sonar and deafen the operators.
Subs below the layer can hear nothing above it and boats or planes above nothing below it.
Submarines have to raise a mast through them .

I cheated....I googled it . I had a feeling it wasn't a whale and I was going to say it!! How interesting is it to know shrimp are the loudest!!

No problem, many of the questions are nigh on impossible to guess and few know them.
But funny answers score just as well or better than correct ones, unless the correct ones have a lot of detail or are also funny.

I haven't a clue, asteroid because I'm thinking lightning??

Bad luck!
Is your Spanish teacher actually Spanish ?
