Now a little picture quiz: Frankly, I thought this a dreadfully old chestnut, but it has been up a while with no guesses. I will give multiple choice, which will, of course, give away the whole game...
The bull in the picture just swallowed a bomb. Describe that in one word.
Is the situation:
A.) Horrible
B.) Terrible
C.) Abominable
D.) Contemptible
Unfortunately, it exploded. This is all that is left. Describe it in one word.
Is this situation:
A.) Horrible
B.) Noble
C.) Laughable
D.) Notable
And remember, nothing is ever what it seems....![]()

Abominable, laughable.
Abominable, Noble.

Ah, yes. All you had to do was look at the picture and listen to the description. In the first, you had a bull, which you are told swallowed a bomb. That is (a bomb in a bull) abominable. The second shows a single sprig that survived the explosion, which you are told happened. What is missing? The bull. (No bull) Noble. Think something up someone!![]()

Arthurian legend notwithstanding, why couldn't Lancelot topple King Arthur on his own, but Lancelot and Galahad could?

I may be off here, as I was never an expert player, but in the game of Chess, it would require two knights to checkmate (topple) a king.![]()

Precisely -- very good, Pendragon!

Hummmmmm.
It is the beginning of eternity,
The end of time and space
The begininng of every end
And the end of every place
What horror might this discribe?

Okay.
Here is a story we heard on a science day.
This is a real story. And is not based on word play.
Quite long time ago, about in the beginning of the previous century, there was a concert hall in some city in America that people wanted to improve or something like that.
They employed a physics professor to work on the acoustics.
The professor was quite a serious man and did the following experiment every day, many times:
He built a wooden soundproof box in the concert with a hole on top. He went inside that box with just his head out. He fired a gun inside the concert hall (he probably pulled a string attached to the trigger or something like that) and measured the time of the echo (well, how long the echo lasted). He did this experiment every day and his results were quite strange - which can be seen on the following graph - the echo time first shortens slowly and then jolts suddenly upwards. Then it starts all over again.
The interval of this period is fourteen days.
What is the reason behind these strange results?
The graph is an added image, but it is not exact - it was quickly done. (the y axis shows the time in seconds the echo lasted and the x-axis shows the days)
If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
I think it has to do with wave motion, like the pebble dropped in a pond, but I'll admit I'm drawing blind here. I'm lousy at physics.![]()

No comfirmation or denial? Hummmm.
What does this say, read correctly?

Now he smacked a bear?That's what I get, but it's probably a little more complex.
