Answer at your own risk.

This is a question a friend asked me, which I immediately answered correctly. He was shocked and said ‘No one has ever given me the correct answer before’ so I cheeredand was feeling very proud of myself until he told me that the question is used to test for serial killers. 97% of serial killers answer correctly. It freaked me out. Here is the question:

This is a story about a girl.

While at the funeral of her own mother, she met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much the dream guy that she was searching for that she fell in love with him immediately.

However, she never asked for his name or number and afterward could not find anyone who knew who he was.

A few days later the girl killed her own sister.

Question: Why did she kill her sister?



They say:

Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Right, well whatabout HIV?



There's a place

somewhere in the Pacific where the line between today and yesterday lies. Where 12 hours ahead meets 12 hours behind, and the days are different.
Ok.
Let’s say you’re in a really fast aeroplane. You take off from one side of this line, today, let’s say it’s a Monday. You fly all the way around the world in the space of 24hours, stopping just before you cross the line. It’s Tuesday now, you’ve been flying all day. But then you cross the line, and it’s yesterday: Monday.
Huh?
So can you just keep doing this and never go forward in time?
What am I missing?



How

young can you be and die from old age? Sixties? 56?



Politically Correctness

If you want to refer to people of African descent that are in America, you say ‘African-Americans’. Are there then ‘African-British’ people? ‘African-Swedish’? These don’t sound right.



Who wants to be a millionaire

on the American version? Don’t they know that winning the British version means a million pounds which is so much more than a million dollars?

Shouldn’t British people who have the equivalent of a million dollars be considered millionaires even though they are short in pounds?

Is there a Turkish version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and do you only get a million of their currency, which isn’t very much?
