No, the sea snake thing is from an episode of Detective Conan called Scuba Diving Murder Case... it's not a great title, is it?

Did it now? I haven't seen every episode of the series, but those I've seen I've really liked. It's a very good series. I haven't seen the episode you mentioned.

Go leafs the episode is called Death's Shadow. It's a great episode.

Taggart eppisode called Nest of Vipers Conan

The most far-fetched murder method I ever saw was a murder with a sea snake as the weapon. Some lady kept it in a bag then went into the water, took it out and made the snake bite her victim by forcing its head onto the person's leg. I think I remember that Midsomer murders episode... from when I was around... seven, I think?

There's always the classic bow-and-arrow murder...

 That happened in Midsomer Murders once. The one with Richard Briers plays an eccentric priest.

HeiseiHolmes 03 Feb 10 at 3:59 p.m. GMT

I guess. It came from Detective Conan episode 1...

go_leafs_nation 02 Feb 10 at 8:20 p.m. GMT

That last one's really far-fetched, detective_conan. A good old-fashioned stabbing or strangulation in that situation would do just as well, and don't require such dangerous maneuvres...

I keep thinking up impossible murder scenarios all the time (they just come to me at random), but I can never think of a solution to them. My latest involved someone being shot inside a moving bus (which, except for the driver and victim, is totally empty). I still have absolutely no idea how it could be worked...

There's always the classic bow-and-arrow murder...

How about swapping their heart medication for aspirins. .............I think I've said too much.

Here's a good one! You're on a jet coaster, and you put an empty backpack between you and the back of the seat. You have also a handbag and piano wire attatched to a hook. When the ride starts, squeeze down on the backpack. There's now a space between you and the bar so you can get out, and in a dark tunnel, put a loop of the wire around your victim. Keeping your legs hooked to the safety bar, attatch the hook to the rails of the track, then get back in your seat. This chops the head off your victim... heh heh heh...

Er...OK....I won't ask any questions!! Do you undertake contracts? You se, my other half and myself haven't been seeing eye to eye recently.....

ampman 01 Feb 10 at 2:17 p.m. GMT

They didn't die they just had to go.

Puffinjill 01 Feb 10 at 7:31 a.m. GMT

Blimey! I'm at a loss for words...... I shall remember to keep on the right side of you, ampman.

ampman 31 Jan 10 at 2:57 p.m. GMT

Puffinjill. You won't be surprised to hear that I am on my third husband.

HeiseiHolmes 29 Jan 10 at 3:23 p.m. GMT

What about a tofurkey?  Do those even exist? Although I doubt the police would eat it as they did in the story. I'd eat your tofurkey for you- tofu rocks.

Puffinjill 29 Jan 10 at 7:36 a.m. GMT

Do you know, ampman, I'm beginning to fear for your husband.....

As a vegetarian, I have no handy leg of lamb around the house so my partner is quite safe....for now.......

HeiseiHolmes 28 Jan 10 at 3:54 p.m. GMT

"Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl? We do that at school in English.

What if you sharpen the wire in a woman's bra and stab someone with it? It can get through metal detectors, and nobody will look for it... But since I'm a guy, that won't work for me.

ampman 28 Jan 10 at 7:39 a.m. GMT

I read a story about a woman who killed her husband by hitting him over the head with a frozen leg of lamb and when the police arrived there was the grieving widow who had apparently just come home to find that hubby had been killed while preparing dinner and a lovely smell of roast lamb. However with the price of lamb these days I shan't be using that method. A pound of frozen mince wouldn't be the same.

Oh! I thought of a stage murder trick, too. Using a match, stage lights, and rope, but I don't want to give it away, I intend to use this.

HeiseiHolmes 25 Jan 10 at 5:51 p.m. GMT

A blackjack full of coins. Burn the socks and spend the money, no evidence left for you...

Also you can use tricks to make a locked room for your murder. A chain lock can be cut through with a saw then tied into place with a piece of thread. It looks locked and in the heat of the moment the killer can break down the door "discovering" the body, breaking the string and it looks like their force broke the chain.
