He didn't pay with pennies.

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?

 

[Prof.Wood]

My habitation's in a wood,
and I'm at anyone's command.
I often do more harm than good
if just once I get the upper hand.
I never fear a champion's glare,
or a hero's unyielding stare.
Brave soldiers all, I can fell them down,
I never fear their sword or gun.

What am I?

Fire?

The following sentence is false. The preceding sentence is true. Are these sentences true or false?

this one is tricky. watch out! haha

It's a paradox, I think? The first sentence can't be true if the second is. But the second can't be true if the first is false.

1: What stinks when living and smells good when dead?

2: When is it bad luck to meet a white cat?

 

[Prof.Wood]

What gets whiter the dirtier it gets?
pretty easy

EDIT: another one: How many times can you subtract the number 5 from the number 25?

7 times
5 through maths
and twice again 25-20 and 15-10

 

[tabriaswolfe]

Nope, just like riddles and I'm bored. Need more riddles!

1: What stinks when living and smells good when dead?

2: When is it bad luck to meet a white cat?

1. Hmm...beef smells pretty bad living, but very good dead.

2. When you're a mouse, I'd guess.

I'm not sure one that one, but got all of your others.
I have my own though.

A man is pulled over for speeding, the policeman-officer says "I'll let you say one sentence. If the sentence is true, I'll let you off with a warning, if it's false, you get arrested."
The man thinks, then says a sentence.
The policeman-officer lets him drive away with nothing done to him at all.
What did he say?

 

[ciancon]

I am weightless, i have no odor or texture, yet when you put me in a bucket I make the bucket lighter, what am I?

its a hole.

Put a hole in a bucket, it gets lighter.
Though I like to think helium, it doesn't have an odor, does it?

Hmm...
Dan & Suzy are found on the floor, dead.
There is shattered glass & some water on the floor, but their bodies are unharmed & they did not drown.
How did they die?

fish

Correct!
They died of fish.

Oh come on, you know i'm right!

you will arrest me causing a paradox?

hope this is new: A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

 

[Whoolpurse]

Here's one of the logic ones.

A dead man is found in a locked room, hanging from the ceiling 4 ft. above the floor. The room is completely empty, except for a puddle of water below him. How did he die?

And

If you cross out all unnecessary letters in the following string of letters, a logical sentence will remain. Can you see it?

A ice cubing that has melted while he stood on it with a rope around his neck.
Yup I watch the crime shows on discovery too.

The man thinks, then says a sentence.
The policeman-officer lets him drive away with nothing done to him at all.
What did he say?

He says "You'll arrest me." (paradox like Prof.Wood said). If it's true, he get's off with a warning. But arresting him would make it false, which it isn't.

You will not arrest me. EDIT: Damn, disregard this. I'm used to a different variation of this riddle.
Double edit: I take that back. "You will not arrest me" is the answer.

The maid. The post doesn't come in on Sundays.
