some type of poultry. you pluck all the feathers and pitch them and cook the meat which was inside the feathers. then you eat the meat and pitch the bones inside the meat?

really I guess it could be any animal that you skin or pluck before you eat if my line of thinking is correct.

I'm slow today.

A man was picking peaches for the boys and girls in his neighbourhood.

He picked enough peaches to fill a box containing 72 peaches.

He weighed the box on a scale and found that the box and peaches together weighed 10 Kg.

He then decided to pick enough peached for the kids in the next neighborhood so he added another 32 peaches to the box.

On the 2nd weighing, the box and peaches weighed 13 Kg.

What, if anything, is wrong with the above situation?

I've heard this before somewhere and I still say the answer is bull. Supposedly a ring, but would someone please tell me how a ring is a container? Someone legally sane.

You know, you're right about that one.

Confusing and unsatisfactory.

Should I remove it or keep it and give you the points anyhow?

I'll let you decide, since you answered correctly first.

Not fair to make him give up his own points ! Let him keep them and go on.

A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building.

Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building.

In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator -- or if it was raining that day -- he goes back to his floor directly.

However, if there is nobody else in the elevator and it hasn't rained, he goes to the tenth floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his room.

Explain this strange behaviour.

Nothing's unfair: he gets to choose what to do about it.

I don't like the question either now that I've though about it, but it's his call to make. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

Water in its solid form is ice and easy to walk on. Convenient numbing effect when you fall down too.

A local newspaper reported that Jacques Dubois finished first in a race held in France. His average speed was given, correctly, as 19,475 km/hour.

How could that be?

A woman meets the king, cries "Pain!", and loses consciousness.

Explain this true occurence (multiple answers possible, but one is more relevant)

A mob of people went to Versaille to petition the king to do something about the problem. A small delegation was admitted to meet the king. One woman, overcome with emotion, could only cry "Pain" (French for "bread") and faint.

French comma usage is different from English. In this case it translates to 19.475 kph.

Yup. But the "problem" you refer to is not explained. I'm getting a vague smell of "Essence of Google" from this... 1 point because incomplete. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

To prevent confusion, please indicate which question it is you are answering in your reply.



Dutch Schwartz introduced Benny Heinz to his friend as "Uncle Ben".

Benny Heinz introduced Dutch Schwartz to his friend as "Uncle Dutch".

"If you are uncles to each other," queried one of the friends, "you must also be nephews to each other."

"That's correct," replied Dutch.

Since there has been no breach of marriage law, how could such a relationship come to be?

---

They aren't actually uncle's to each other. Uncle Ben and Uncle Dutch are pop culture references. Thus the statement "If you are uncles to each other, you must also be nephews to each other" is logical but irrelevant as they arent actually related.

How's that for a work of imagination?
