Searching on Google, I only find this GameFAQs topic:
The Pool is a Planet, and the Man is a Room Outside
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/918175-qbert/42837587

But I also recall this from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
Wonko the Sane
https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Wonko_the_Sane

Any relation between these two?

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

It all started with one of those obnoxious riddle topics where somebody posted a riddle and refused to tell anyone what the answer was for hundreds of posts. The only thing they would say over and over again is that posters were wrong and they needed to "think laterally."

I don't remember the riddle itself, but I remember the answer was that "the pool is a planet and the man is a room outside."

You can find the original topic if you dig a little deeper and find that a bunch of people in the original topic were just as clueless as you. It became a meme because of how dumb the answer was after pages of trying to decipher the solution

I don't remember the riddle itself,
"A man has to get across a pool full of sharks. The sharks are hungry and he's delicious. However, the bloke is able to cross from one side to the other unscathed. How does he do it?"

Well, it's disappointing that there is no relation to the Asylum being the whole planet, and his house being a room outside the Asylum.
