    A newspaper?

    A bleeding nun?

    A zebra wearing lipstick?

    There's way too many variations on this one.

    :lol: no way, it was the first thing that pop in my head!! :lol:

    A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "12" The member replied, "6" and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "6" The member replied, "3" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said,"10" and the man replied, "5" However, he was not let in.

    What should have he said?

    One day a father went to his three sons and told them that he would die soon and he needed to decide which one of them to give his property to. He decided to give them all a test. He said "Go to the market my sons and purchase something that is large enough to fill my bedroom, but small enough to fit in your pocket.From this I will decide who of you is the wisest and worthy enough to inherit my land." So they all went to the market and bought something that they thought would fill the room, yet was still small enough that they could fit into their pockets. Each son came back with a different item. The father told his sons to come into his bedroom one at a time and try to fill up his bedroom with whatever they had purchased. The first son came in and put some peices of cloth that he had bought and layed them end to end across the room, but it bearly covered any of the floor. Then the second son came in and layed some hay, that he had purchased, on the floor but there was only enough to cover half of the floor. The third son came in and showed his father what he had purchased and how it could fill the entire room yet still fit into his pocket. The father replied "You are truly the wisest of all and you shall recieve my property." What was it that the son had showed to his father?

    Cheers, Carcaroth! :lol:

    I did think "torch" after I'd posted, but I thought that stink bomb still fit the bill nicely. It popped straight into my head because some wanker set off a stink bomb in a maths exam at school once, and it took the teachers ages to clear the smell leaving the doors propped open & windows wide. :shake:

    Now, riddle me this, riddle me that:

    I fly, yet I have no wings. I cry, yet I have no eyes. Darkness follows me; lower light I never see.

    I would guess a cloud, but I don't know how it fits with the fourth part (what is lower light anyway?) except that a cloud can't see anything.

    [​IMG] Well done dmc! Lower light just refers to the shadows cast by a cloud. It's position in the sentence indicates that it's just a restatement of "darkness", imho.

    Time to pull something out of the briefcase for us, then... :D
