*BiGBonES** October 4, 2005 Share *BiGBonES** Member October 4, 2005 Second- He realised the art was not that good, and wanted to take it down to the dump, but this guy saved him the trouble, so he thanked him And that man was Suicide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean October 4, 2005 Share Unclean Member October 4, 2005 What about this: What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you get rid of it? Another answer that works is "a newspaper". A curator has just met the man responsible for destroying thousands of dollars of art at his museum. But instead of being angry at the man, the curator is congratulating him. Why would he do this (Als0---Who is this man)? Just a stab in the dark, but is the man that destroyed the art actually an artist creating new art pieces for the museum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller October 4, 2005 Share Leveller Member October 4, 2005 Guess at the curator one: The "man" is curator of a different museum and has destroyed his own art, making the original curator's more valuable/popular with the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacher October 4, 2005 Author Share Preacher Member October 4, 2005 (edited) Easy riddle....answer: nothing <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Correct I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam especially since the names of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now for there really are sixteen names of the books in the Bible in this story. The iron horse: is it a needle pulling thread?

Preacher October 5, 2005 Author Share Preacher Member October 5, 2005 Ok two men stranded at an airport decide to share a hotel room. They arrive at the hotel and pay $30 for the room. They pay $15 each and head to the room. After the men go upstairs the desk clerk realizes he made an error and overcharged the men for a $27 room. He gives the bell hop the three dollars and sends him up to return the money. On the way upstairs the bellhop decides to pocket a dollar, justifying it because the $3 doesn't split evenly. He returns the $2 to the men and goes about his work. Each man paid $15 for a total of $30 Both men were refunded $1 each making the total they paid $28 The bellhop took $1 for a grand total of $29 Where did the extra dollar go?

It seems like you should try to add it to 30 but that number does not mean anything. The key is 28-1=27, not 28+1=30. There is 27 in the till, 2 in the mens pockets, and 1 in the bellhops pocket... if you really want it to add to 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preacher October 5, 2005 Author Share Preacher Member October 5, 2005 During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean October 5, 2005 Share Unclean Member October 5, 2005 She dressed up like a Swiss person, ran as far as she could, and then pretended to be entering. The guard would then turn her away but not shoot her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
