Title: Re: Peeble Post by towr on May 24th, 2007, 1:00am Did he throw it? Did it tell him to do something he shouldn't have done? (Although, I suppose that would've landed him in a psychiatric ward, rather than prison) |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Johan_Gunardi on May 24th, 2007, 3:42am Did he throw it? No. Did it tell him to do something he shouldn't have done? Please rephrase. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Grimbal on May 24th, 2007, 4:08am The pebble was in a jar with 99 other black pebbles and 99 white ones. One pebble was in the other jar. If a white pebble had been drawn, he would have married the Maharaja's daughter, but a black pebble was pulled, he ended up in prison. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Product on May 24th, 2007, 12:24pm The pebble was a diamond that he stole. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Icarus on May 24th, 2007, 3:51pm The pebble was in his shoe as he was running from the cops. The severe pain it caused slowed him and allowed him to be caught. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Iceman on May 24th, 2007, 6:17pm The man [hide]threw pebble in the sea and killed a whale[/hide]. Or [hide]he gave it to a small child who swallowed it[/hide]. |

|
Title: Re: Peeble Post by Iceman on May 24th, 2007, 6:26pm Or [hide]he was playing Monopoly. Or this particular pebble was the pebble for Guinness book of records. He threw it at Arnold Schwarzenegger. Or the pebble was soaked in nitroglycerin and then he threw it at Cyclops. Or he threw the pebble in the sea, even though this pebble was important to his poor wife, representing a family heirloom[/hide]. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Iceman on May 24th, 2007, 6:35pm The pebble was [hide]bugged and it also had a small camera. So he was a policeman undercover who flushed it down the toilet, because he saw how rich mobsters are and how poor policemen are. Or he threw the pebble into the open grave at the funeral instead of earth, and to Chinese this is a deadly insult. Or the truck was hanging on the bridge after the accident, and he glued the pebble with superglue on it, causing the truck to fall in the river Rio Bravo. Or he put the pebble in his rear in front of people in church. Or he wanted to kill his wife, but he didn't have a big rock, just a small pebble. He gave it a shot, throwing the pebble seven times, but he didn't kill her, so she called 911. Or he put the pebble on a scale, which had a bomb. He spits on the pebble and puts his green bug on it. The pebble belonged to a small child, which was playing with it. [/hide] |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Grimbal on May 25th, 2007, 1:04am Milions of years ago a dinosaur stepped on the pebble. It rolled under his foot and he twisted his leg. He said "ouch". A female dinosaur heard that and turned around. It was love on first sight. Without the pebble, she would never have glanced at him. They wouldn't have had any offspring. It would have changed the whole History of the World. The man wouldn't end up in prison. Hey, the man wouldn't even exist. The prison wouldn't exist. Cities would have been build in other places. Maybe not even by humans. Oops! he took the pebble. How about: the dinosaur saw a nice pebble. He took it and offered it to a female dinosaur that passed by. It was love at first sight. etc. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by JiNbOtAk on May 25th, 2007, 1:54am Or maybe he saw the female dinosaur first, and picked up the pebble and threw it at her. She turned, and it was love at first sight, etc.. Or, the female dinosaur is hanging out with another male dinosaur. The hero dinosaur threw the pebble at the male dinosaur, killing him, and he got the female dinosaur, etc.. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Iceman on May 28th, 2007, 10:55am 'Pebble' was the name of his parrot. He strangled it. Or it was his best friend's hypocorism, because he liked to throw pebbles into lakes and teacher's windows. 8) |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Iceman on May 28th, 2007, 11:19am He was in the police station. Policeman told him to write down 'I am a rebel', but he wrote 'I am a pebble.' Then the above policeman, red in face, puts heroin in his pocket. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Iceman on Jun 2nd, 2007, 8:02am He says to the detective that he has a diamond in his pocket. But when the detective puts his hand in his pocket, he finds just a pebble. To make a false statement in the police station, particularly to the suspicious detectives, can easily put you behind bars. Regarding the name of the topic: is it a mistake or just poetic freedom? :-* |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by denis on Jun 2nd, 2007, 10:17am Was the pebble taken from one fo those sites where it is illegal to remove some materials: -The pebble was voclanic and taken from a volcanic site in Hawaii. In Hawaii, it is illegal to remove volcanic rocks for souvenirs. or -The pebble was made of ivory and removed from a country illegaly. It is illegal to take ivory out of certain countries (e.g. Japan) or -The pebble was coral. Coral souvenirs are illegal certain jursidictions (e.g. St-Lucia) or -The pebble was taken from one of those ancient archeological sites, temples or shrines where it illegal to remove any material that came from the building or structure -The pebble was taken from a museum exhibit While some of these infractions only result in a fine, I recall a case where a tourist was detained for removing a piece of rock from an ancient site in the middle east. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Iceman on Jun 3rd, 2007, 10:29pm The pebble was stuck in sole of his sneakers he bought today, and he said that he was not at the beach for months. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by Iceman on Jun 3rd, 2007, 11:07pm The pebble is a new mobster way of doing hits. Instead of killing a parrot and putting it near the corpse, nowadays they put a pebble in corpse's mouth. Poor spaghetti sod forgot to clean the pebble, so they arrested him because of his fingerprints. |
||
|
Title: Re: Peeble Post by Iceman on Jun 3rd, 2007, 11:21pm Since the pebble is clearly important, then we should infer that culprit activity took place at the beach. And the reason for this deduction is because pebbles do not grow on trees, as they have their particular location. So, he breaks the law at the beach, and then, for some reason, he takes a pebble, as a souvenir. Later the policeman picks him up for crossing the double line. 1st thing he says, even though the policeman did not even asked him anything yet, is that he hates beaches and never goes near them. |

No Hint: A man took a single pebble from **********. There is a law that you can't take anything from **********, so he got arrested. |

Title: Re: Peeble Post by ima1trkpny on Jun 4th, 2007, 1:07pm There are sometimes laws protecting wilderness parks, etc that make it illegal to mess with the environment in anyway. Did he perhaps pick up a pebble at one of these places as a sovenier and then get busted? |
