TRUE or FALSE?.......Part 4

I say #4 because it sounds like something out of a movie!

I didn´t participate in this game before. Is there a rule how long it lasts or should I just say a few hours, or days or so?

BTW, thanks for your answers so far.

Okay, then. Thanks for the info. I´ll let you know if that "feeling" starts to tickle me.

Let's see if you I'll be damned D ?

Nope.
He's been dead for several years and is now completely CGI-based.

It´s very interesting to read all those attempts at reasoning to get a result. Some are right, some are wrong (the reasonings, I mean - I won´t give a hint so early in the game), and this is much more fun than I thought. Go on then; I promise some nice explanations and additional info on ALL FIVE cases soon.

Still some of the details flow out naturally... Like in 4, many adjectives that are not necessary for the story. In fact for that reason 4 seems most believable to me of all 5 situations.

If 4 is false, I will be very surprised of course! And you can all laugh at me, hehe.

Come on peeps

Hey Anthony, you'll never keep your 'craziest poster ranking' without adding comments here!?

I guess it´s time for more hints then...

1. My family was once falsely charged by the Ministry of Taxation for tax evading of several million Euro. When they couldn´t find stuff to prove their charge, they started to make things up from nowhere.
2. When I was in London to see a Goldsmith concert, we visited the British Museum. While looking at the Stone of Rosetta, which was on exhibition during that time, we talked about how important that stone was and got a nice comment of a gentleman beside us. It took me actually five seconds to notice that it had been Jerry, and he was gone before I found my courage to talk to him. Additionally, we had the luck that on the same day we came to London for that concert, there was a huge Star Wars exhibition with many, many original models and costumes. That day was geek heaven!
3. I was once part of a choir which sang in front of Pope Johannes Paul II while he did a service in Rome. During that tour, we sang in Assisi and Florenz as well.
4. Together with my pregnant and newly wed wife, I once took a rented car to drive us into a godforsaken scottish valley where we were absolutely alone, there was no human soul for twenty miles or so, when we reached the end of the valley, and I said, "think about it, we´re all alone here", and the engine chose exactly that moment to die. It was a time before there were cell phones, and the moment we left the car to see what was wrong, it started to rain. We decided to take a short walk and hope for best on our return. Magically, the engine started up as if nothing had happened, and never did that thing again.
5. On our wedding day, we forgot to take our rings, but were lucky because my wife wore two other rings, one on each hand, and we share the same ring size. Because of that fact, we managed to took each others rings later, twice, without noticing that we had the wrong ones on our hand.

Are these explanations or hints?

Sorry man, if you're actually adding (true) hints on top of your true OR fictional stories, I'm too confused. I'm just guessin' what sounds true and what sounds false.

Okay, I think I should end this...

Martijn has won, and here´s why...:

1. My family was once falsely charged by the Ministry of Taxation for tax evading of several million Euro. When they couldn´t find stuff to prove their charge, they started to make things up from nowhere.

This is true. The case lasted six years, and in the end the family´s company was ruined, my family suffered a lot from depression, and the guys from the Ministry went away with no excuse and nothing.


2. When I was in London to see a Goldsmith concert, we visited the British Museum. While looking at the Stone of Rosetta, which was on exhibition during that time, we talked about how important that stone was and got a nice comment of a gentleman beside us. It took me actually five seconds to notice that it had been Jerry, and he was gone before I found my courage to talk to him. Additionally, we had the luck that on the same day we came to London for that concert, there was a huge Star Wars exhibition with many, many original models and costumes. That day was geek heaven!

Nearly everything is true. We went to London to see the concert, we visited the British Museum, there was that Star Wars exhibition, BUT I am sorry to tell that we never met Goldsmith at the museum. But I think it would have been the perfect place for an encounter with the maestro.


3. I was once part of a choir which sang in front of Pope Johannes Paul II while he did a service in Rome. During that tour, we sang in Assisi and Florenz as well.

Actually, our choir stood behind the Holy Father, not in front of him, but beside that, this story is true nevertheless.


4. Together with my pregnant and newly wed wife, I once took a rented car to drive us into a godforsaken scottish valley where we were absolutely alone, there was no human soul for twenty miles or so, when we reached the end of the valley, and I said, "think about it, we´re all alone here", and the engine chose exactly that moment to die. It was a time before there were cell phones, and the moment we left the car to see what was wrong, it started to rain. We decided to take a short walk and hope for best on our return. Magically, the engine started up as if nothing had happened, and never did that thing again.

This is one of many unbelievable and actually quite true stories that happened during our honeymoon. There is another one about me, my pregnant wife, and all of our luggage getting from one London station to the other in fifteen minutes to catch the night train to Scotland...


5. On our wedding day, we forgot to take our rings, but were lucky because my wife wore two other rings, one on each hand, and we share the same ring size. Because of that fact, we managed to took each others rings later, twice, without noticing that we had the wrong ones on our hand.

It´s true. One ring size. Beside my weight, I have actually very slender fingers, and my wife has very large hands (with long fingers) which makes it almost impossible for her to find gauntlets for her. (Is gauntlet the correct word? )

So, there you go. I hope the participants enjoyed participating.

Congratulations to Martijn, and Timmer, who guessed right, but chose wrong.

Now, off with another game...

OMG, what a terrible story in the end.

Good game though.
I like the story telling!

Yeah... let´s just say I still get a shudder sometimes when the door bell rings and I don´t know the people standing in front of it... clearly the aftershock of fifteen people ringing and friendly asking me to step aside to let them do their work. Hell, if I had known what kind of work they had in mind... on the funny side... well... we´re geeks. Our flat was stuffed with books and comics and RPG books and maps and files and stuff. They never expected so much work to do in our private home (they send 30+ people to the company to search there - whatever they were searching), and at one point, they looked into our refrigerator whether we had any money hidden there. I laughed aloud, and one of the guys said "you´d have NO idea where people would hide their money"... well now I know why... But the best was when they wanted to check out our cellar. With a knowing smile I led them down, opened our cellar and confronted those two guys with ten cubic meters of boxes of more books, magazines, comics, and even worse geeky stuff. I wished them fun and went upstairs. What was so funny was the fact that they came up ten minutes after that, and answered my quizzical look with the words... "well, we decided that there´s nothing there..." Guys, since then I know how my state´s administration works...


You´re welcome. I´m prepared to tell a bit more about the more interesting ones, just ask.
