Heard a riddle today which appealed to me!
Q: Why should the Irish police use the Hubble telescope in their attempts to find Shergar?

Shergar, a Derby winning race horse stolen in 1983, by IRA terrorists
Are you sure that wasn't a chalker you overheard?

Wait, wait. Don't tell me.
Taking pictures of dogs that don't bark in the night, right?

It's good for discovering hidden stars?
Wait! I've got it. They should use Hubble because Shergar disappeared from the face of the earth.

Good try. But think what Hubble looks at (prolly amongst a host of other kinds but)

Q: Why should the Irish police use the Hubble telescope in their attempts to find Shergar? Because he might as well have fallen into a black hole, for all the luck they've had in finding him?
