Silly Tatum... she comes here and posts questions and completely forgets to tell everyone what the answers are rolleyes I'm sure by now you'd all like to know what they are? whee Tatum Eaglette 1. Can you name 3 consecutive days without using the words Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday?
GigglyBipper & purkleghostie - Yesterday,today, and tomorrow.As a matter of fact... you all are right! Any combination of 3 consecutive days without using the name days wink Tatum Eaglette 2. It goes up, but at the same time goes down. Up toward the sky, and down toward the ground. It's present tense and past tense too, come for a ride, just me and you.
What is it? A seesaw whee Tatum Eaglette 3. A bottle and a cork together cost $25 and the bottle costs $20 more than the cork. HOW MUCH DOES EACH COST??!! You are exactly right! The cork costs $2.50 and the bottle costs $22.50. Tatum Eaglette 4. A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?
GigglyBipper - She shoots him with her camera,
Holds his image under water to rinse the photo,
and hangs the image to dry.
purkleghostie - She took his picture.The answer is... she took his picture wink Tatum Eaglette 5. He has married many women, but has never been married. Who is he?
purkleghostie - A preacherYes... you are right! But... for him to have never been married he would have to be a priest. Because preachers, ministers, JPs are able to be married wink Tatum Eaglette 6. Big as a biscuit, deep as a cup, even a river can't fill it up. What is it? I don't exactly remember the correct answer to this one... but I -think- that's correct. Makes perfect sense! 3nodding Tatum Eaglette 7. How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?
I change my mind on this one too! One time. Then it's no longer 25.
GigglyBipper - Once. After that it is no longer 25.
purkleghostie - OnceGreat job! Once is correct! After you subtract 5 from 25 once.. you would be subtracting 5 from 20. Tatum Eaglette 8. If a rooster laid a brown egg and a white egg, what kind of chicks would hatch?
GigglyBipper - Dung chicks! Cause it wasn't an egg.
purkleghostie - There wouldnt be any...roosters cant lay eggsYou all have an interesting way of putting it! xd And you are correct! Roosters can't lay eggs whee Tatum Eaglette 9. What is it that when you take away the whole, you still have some left over?
MysticfawN - wholesome!Correct! Tatum Eaglette 10. A man is sitting in bed. He makes a phone call, says nothing, then goes to sleep. Why??
GigglyBipper - I cheated and looked up the answer for this one ... biggrin (tsk tsk tsk *shakes finger* stare ) Actually... calling the time is the most logical. But I have also seen one where the answer was that he called the room next to him because they people were being too loud and he called to make them stop. (somthing to that extent anyway xd ) You all did absolutely wonderful! Ya'll really have some great thinkers whee Most of these I would have never guessed myself. rofl I'm sorry I can't confirm these answers, most of them I just remembered... the site I got them from is shut down now. sad

SunnShinne Tatum Eaglette 2. It goes up, but at the same time goes down. Up toward the sky, and down toward the ground. It's present tense and past tense too, come for a ride, just me and you.
What is it? A seesaw whee Haha, a seesaw! And nobody guessed it! That's a good one! SunnyBunny Tatum Eaglette 10. A man is sitting in bed. He makes a phone call, says nothing, then goes to sleep. Why??
GigglyBipper - I cheated and looked up the answer for this one ... biggrin (tsk tsk tsk *shakes finger* stare ) Actually... calling the time is the most logical. But I have also seen one where the answer was that he called the room next to him because they people were being too loud and he called to make them stop. (somthing to that extent anyway xd ) But then, he wouldn't say nothing! He'd say "Oi you! You're making too much noise and I can't sleep! Raar raar raar!"

Oooh here are some I just ran across:
1. What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?
2. My voice rises above the din, sometimes catching all unaware. I never
ask questions, yet get many answers.
3. All the electricity was out in town and none of the street lights or
traffic signals had power. A dark limousine was cruising down the
newly paved blacktop, with its headlights off. A young boy dressed
totally in black (with no reflectors) stepped out to cross the
street. The moon wasn?t out and the boy had no flashlight, yet the
driver stopped to let the boy cross the street. How did the driver
see the boy?
4. A man is late for an appointment and, in his haste, takes a corner so
fast that only two wheel were on the pavement. A police man is
standing on the corner, but he did not give him a ticket. Why?
5. They can trickle down, They can tickle too. Or make you sneeze, Or
comfort you. Their rustling sound, you've rarely heard, Unless you're
a pillow or a bird! What are they?
6. I can trap many different things and colors, Ever changing, not
boring. Look closely and you may find yourself also caught in my
trap. What am I?
7. It runs and runs but can never flee. It is often watched, yet never
sees. When long it brings boredom, When short it brings fear. What is
it?
8. Here on Earth it's always true, that a day follows a day. But there
is a place where yesterday always follows today.
9. What is so fragile that when you say its name you break it?
10. There is a bus full of people travelling over San Francisco and no
one gets off the bus throughout the journey. But when it gets to the
other side there is not a single person left. How is this possible?
11. How many bricks does it take to complete a building made of brick?
12. If you have two hourglasses -- one four-minute timer and one seven-
minute timer, how can you measure nine minutes?
13. A butcher has a 36 inch waist around, and he's 5 feet tall. What does
he weigh?
14. A man who lived on the top floor of a twenty story building had to go
up and down daily for work, and of course, for food and the other
necessities. On most days he could only ride the elevator to the
fifteenth story, and he would have to walk the rest of the way. When
it rained, however, he could ride all the way up to the twentieth
story. Why?
15. What weighs more? A pound of feathers or a pound of stones?
16. How many sides does a circle have?
17. Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?
18. A horse is tied to a 15 foot rope and there is a bail of hay 25 feet
away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How
is this possible?
