    1) A doctor and a bus driver are both in love with the same woman, an attractive girl named Sarah. The bus driver had to go on a long bustrip that would last a week. Before he left, he gave Sarah seven apples. Why?

    2) There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?

    3) What is special about the number 854917632?

    4) A man and a woman are driving along a country road on a cold winter night when the car breaks down. Before leaving to find help, the man tells the woman not to open the doors or windows and not to let anybody in. He leaves, and she does as he says. When he returns, she is dead and there is a stranger in the car. What happened?

    And finally...

    5) Doctor says to lawyer We were born on the same year, month, day, and minute. We were born in the same hospital, hospital room and we have the same 2 parents. We are not twins and we have no brothers. Explain this.


    Have fun

    Because "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!"

    2) There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?

    On one person's head.

    3) What is special about the number 854917632?

    Dan already got this.

    4) A man and a woman are driving along a country road on a cold winter night when the car breaks down. Before leaving to find help, the man tells the woman not to open the doors or windows and not to let anybody in. He leaves, and she does as he says.

    I'm guessing there was sombody else already in the car.

    And finally...

    5) Doctor says to lawyer We were born on the same year, month, day, and minute. We were born in the same hospital, hospital room and we have the same 2 parents. We are not twins and we have no brothers. Explain this.

    One of them is a female.

    Have fun

    Correct.

    1) I have a tail, and I have a head, but i have no body. I am NOT a snake. What am I?

    2) When I'm used, I'm useless, once offered, soon rejected. In desperation oft expressed, the intended not protected. What am I?

    3) Romeo and Juliet are found dead on the floor in a bedroom. When they were discovered, there were pieces of glass and some water on the floor. The only furniture in the room is a shelf and a bed. The house in is a remote location, away from everything except for the nearby railway track. What caused the death of Romeo and Juliet?

    4) A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

    5) What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

    6) What is it that when you take away the whole, you still have some left over?

    7) I am slim and tall, Many find me desirable and appealing. They touch me and I give a false good feeling. Once I shine in splendor, But only once and then no more. For many I am "to die for". What am I?

    8) Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

    9) I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am I?

    10) Read my riddle, I pray. What God never sees, what the king seldom sees, and what we see every day. What is it?



    This is uber fun... 7 sounds dodgey though

    A coin.

    2) When I'm used, I'm useless, once offered, soon rejected. In desperation oft expressed, the intended not protected. What am I?

    I could not understand the wording in this one. Sorry.

    3) Romeo and Juliet are found dead on the floor in a bedroom. When they were discovered, there were pieces of glass and some water on the floor. The only furniture in the room is a shelf and a bed. The house in is a remote location, away from everything except for the nearby railway track. What caused the death of Romeo and Juliet?

    I love this one. Romeo and Juliet were fish, and they died after the rumbling of the train on the tracks knocked over their tank, hence the glass and water.

    4) A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

    The man wrote "Y-O-U-R E-X-A-C-T W-E-I-G-H-T" on the paper.

    5) What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

    I have no clue...

    6) What is it that when you take away the whole, you still have some left over?

    Wholesome

    7) I am slim and tall, Many find me desirable and appealing. They touch me and I give a false good feeling. Once I shine in splendor, But only once and then no more. For many I am "to die for". What am I?

    I don't know, a hooker?

    8) Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

    This one was already posted. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

    9) I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am I?

    All I know is that is can't be a physical object, as god sees all...

    Here's one a friend told me back in school:

    A man is laying dead in the middle of a green player's field. He is surrounded by fifty-three bicycles. Why did he die?

    And another;

    A man is born in 1972 and dies in 1952 at the age of 25.

    Obviously, the man in question is Marty McFly. He took another trip in the DeLorean at 25 years old, but when he reappeared, he must have crashed into something

    I was left to my own devices. Many days fell away with nothing to show. And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love. Great clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above. We were caught up and lost in all of our vices. Oh where do we begin; the rubble or our sins? But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all?

    Hmm the only solution I can think of is that 1972 and 1952 aren't referring to years, but rather places, like hotel room numbers or something. Still, I'm not sure if that's even close to the real answer
