Fred and Ted, brothers, are lying dead on the floor of their home. All the doors were locked, but there was a window open. In the room, there are pieces of broken glass scattered on the floor and a cat. The carpet is also very wet. Fred and Ted died because they couldn't breath. Explain their death.

Fred and Ted were goldfish in a bowl.
The cat came in though the window and broke the bowl.
The fish suffocate.

I dont get it. What makes it Chicago? (i'm half polish, and i live an hour and a half from chicago..) Unless that's just a random fact or something.


Basically, Tidu, the Chicago aglomeration has the second largest number of polish citizens in the world.

Oh yeah... since I'm hundred percent sure that my answer is correct (I'm so vain), I'll post my riddle now:

I'm a trilogy, yet I have five parts. Whom do I guide and what is the Earth, according to me?

Hint:
Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Mr. Smith and his son are driving down the road in their car. Tragically Mr. Smith crashes into a tree and is killed instantly, but his son lives, albeit in a battered up situation, and is sent to the local hospital. But at the hospital, the old surgeon says "I can't operate on him, he's my son."

How is this possible?

A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of fifty dollar bills out of his wallet. He turns to the rich man and says to him ”I have an amazing talent: I know almost every song that has ever existed.” The rich man laughs. The poor man says “I am willing to bet you all the money you have in you wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it.” The rich man laughs again and says “Ok how about my daughters name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller.” The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich.

What song did he sing?

Ok, here goes :

James trudges off to school each morning with his books but he rarely does homework, and he doesn't achieve high marks in tests either. There are 36 children in his class and 35 of them are good students. Why does James never get into trouble?

James is not a special student.
James is not related to anyone at the school.
James has been sent to the head's office on a number of occasions.
James is always polite.
