Lord Fulabunk was recounting one of his many hunting expeditions to a group of colleagues. 'I was deep in a jungle, in the Congo. The air was thick and musky. Sweat dripped from my brow and my fellow hunters had already decided to give up and return to camp, but I was determined to capture our prey. Suddenly, I heard a snap of a twig from behind me. As I reeled around, I shot a huge tiger dead as it leapt to devour me! And that is how I came upon this fine trophy you see hanging on my wall here.'
'Nonsense!', cried Baron Knowital, 'Your story is nothing but a fabrication!'
How did Baron Knowital know that Lord Fulabunk's tale was false?

Mike1313 Sep 17, 2001	actually, not all tigers are from India, but I agree that there are no tigers in the Congo.
tell-UN-igent Mar 23, 2002	Fairly easy, but I found your character names very amusing.
aPlatinum Sep 01, 2004	way too easy but fun
kcelf27 Apr 29, 2005	Yeah, where the heck do people come up w/ such weird names But yes, these ones where someone is being called a liar for one reason or another are a bit too easy. Even if you don't know the facts, you can assume that tigars don't live where he claims he shot one.
kcelf27 Apr 29, 2005	hey "TELL" I like your name, it took me a second but like you, I'm a bit slow.

spazzyjazzy93 Jun 12, 2006	i thought that there wasn't a bullet hole or somthing great teaser!
Unraveled Jun 25, 2006	No, there are no Tigers in Africa. I think, but am not sure, that there once were, but they went extinct? Yeah, the hint gave it away. Enjoyed reading the story, though.
banzai Jul 28, 2006	i thought the giveaway was the snapping branch. If there is a lot of humidity and dead branch won't snap!
OldChinaHand Aug 13, 2006	Good One. The realm of the striped great cat includes forests, grasslands, and swamps in eastern Russia, South Asia, Sumatra, and a few small parts of China.
stormtrooper Aug 31, 2006	You forgot Siberia.
