Flying Rats!?

This is really only a guess, with my reasoning being:
- the fox is too smart to be fooled by its reflection
- the bear too big to see more than just his face
- the owl can already fly.

I guess the dog also sees sky behind him, so thinks that he too can fly

Mind you, I dunno if that's the answer you were looking for.


D.

Not what I was looking for, but interesting reasoning. I'll give it a little longer before posting my answer for it.

Two rats are wandering through the woods when they come upon a puddle of water. They stop and look in the puddle and jump back in surprise when they see their reflection.

"Wow" says the first rat "Can you imagine what life would be like if we could become our reflection?!?"

"Before we scavenged for food, we could look down over the entire farm and see if the old farm dog was out that night!" replied the second.

"And if the farmer came out, we'd be too far away to shoot" continued the first.

"We wouldn't even have to worry about them stumbling upon us during the day." finished the second.

So, the rats started jumping up and down in the puddle, trying to become their reflection. No matter how much they splashed around though, they just couldn't do it. So, they gave up and wandered off dejected. However, the splashing had attracted a number of other animals. They had watched the rats acting crazy and were a little worried about what might be wrong with the water. But curiosity got the best of them and one by one the animals wandered over and looked in the water. A fox, a bear and even a wise owl all looked into the pool, but none of them saw anything that made sense, so they each wandered off just shaking their heads in confusion.

Finally, the old dog from the farm, who had been watching everything, wandered up to the puddle and looked at his reflection. When he did, he let out a little laugh and thought, "It's a good thing for them that animals can't become their reflections. Because rats that had become their reflection would be no match for a dog that had become his."

So, after hearing this story, the question is: what did the rats see when they looked at their reflection?

Mmmk I believe I have the answer. The rats when they looked in the reflection, they saw star(s). The fox, bear and owl were confused because they saw xof, raeb, and lwo, respectively. The dog, saw god. Thus making the rats no chance for the dog if animals became their reflections.

E It's a number puzzle. Those are all the first letters of numbers.

How about this classic?

The beginning of eternity,
The end of time and space,
The start of every empire
The end of every race.

I was particularly peeved to have seen this in a novel set in the Forgotten Realms.

By the way folks, if you want to have a good spoiler hidden, instead of using the color tags {color=black}{/color}, use spoiler tags {spoiler}{/spoiler}. Replaces the {}s with []s.

Bonus points if you can tell me where it's from, and what a person got when they solved it correctly and incorrectly.

The best puzzle ever was the basis for the movie "Cube." If you haven't seen it, go watch it.

How did she kill her husband?

Spoiler

By having him visit his friend's mansion. The friend turned off the gas line leading to the bedroom before Micheal even arrived. He also, likely, turned the gas fireplace on full blast, but since there was no pressure in the pipes, no gas came out. Micheal dutifully locks the doors and windows, then goes to sleep, ignoring the nonfunctioning fireplace. Micheal's 'friend' then can simply turn the gas line back on, probably from the basement, and the murder is complete. Give a little time for the heat to die down, then comfort Micheal's poor widow in Tahiti.
