Perhaps something similar to one of those first born plauges where something enters you, and you drop dead.

Yep. If the bowl was still a bowl, and not a broken bowl, they would still be alive.

Another man in a bar

Two brothers were having a drink in a bar. Suddenly, one of the brothers got into a heated arguement with the barman. He pulled out a knife, and dispite his brothers protests, stabbed the barman in the chest. At the trial, he was found guilty of assault with a deadly weabon, and greivous bodily harm. At the end of the trial the judge said "You have ben found guilty of a vicious crime, however I have no choice other than to let you go" Why?

Perhaps one of the brothers was the barman, and the barman stabbed himself.

Wait... I have an idea in my head... but it could be wrong...

If Brother A were to be in prison, would brother B also be in prison?
