    Uh-oh, nothing sucks like me at riddles. Ah well, here goes:

    A man moved into a new house and decided he was tired after the journey and turned of all the lights and went to bed. The next morning he had killed 365 people; how could this be? He does not sleep walk and he slept like a baby the whole night.

    He, can't think on a proper one right now. Here's a softy:

    What's the longest word you can compose using a single row of keys in a QWERTY keyboard?

    Actually, there are at least three others that are just as long: repertoire, proprietor, perpetuity.

    Well, typewriter is the one I had in mind, but... you're completely right too.

    How about a tie-breaker? However comes up with this one gets the prize: What's the longest word you can type by using only your left hand, presuming that you are touch-typing, of course)?

    And I really hope there's only one answer to this one! :o

    Feel me when you have no luck,
    or get me off a baby duck.
    Go my way to a miner's claim,
    or see me at a football game.
