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?
No thats not right. I live in the USA... *looks at location thingy on side* and I'm 6'1".
Damn, oh well I was never good at these...their fun but I hardly ever get them.
IMMORTAL!
That's right! now it's your turn, you wacky child
^_^
King Arthur sat at the Round Table on three successive evenings with his knights - Beleobus, Caradoc, Driam, Eric, Floll and Galahad - but on no occassion did any person have as his neighbor one who had sat next to him before.
On the first evening they sat in alphabetical order round the table. But afterwards King Arthur arranged the two next sittings so that he might have Beleobus as near to him as possible and Galahad as far away from him as could be managed.
How did he seat the knights to the best advantage, remembering the rule that no knight may have the same neighbor twice?
Misfit, are you getting these puzzles from the same place I am?
I don't know. o_o
Where are you getting them? x)

A man walks into a bar and orders a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a gun and shoots the man. The man says "Thank you" and walks out without touching the water.
Explain.
What am we explaining?
Ooo! I've heard that one. He has the hiccups, and the gun scared the man and got rid of them.
Okay, only SERIOUS people can probably get this. It helps if you know the Bible fairly well.
Adam, God made from the dust,
But thought it best to make me first.
So I was made before the man,
A part of God's most holy plan.
A living "soul" I became,
But Adam failed to call my name.
I did my Maker's law obey,
Nor ever went from it astray.
Thousands of miles, I go in fear,
But seldom on earth do I appear.
For purpose wise, which God did see,
He put a living "soul" in me.
A "soul" from me God did claim,
And took from me the "soul" again.
So when from me the "soul" had fled,
I was the same as when first made.
Without hands or feet I go,
I travel on from pole to pole.
From my presence a rain does fly,
A cloud I form beneath the sky.
I labor hard by day, by night,
To fallen man I gave great light.
Thousands of people, young and old,
Did by my death great light behold.
No right or wrong can I conceive,
The Scripture I cannot believe.
Although my name therein is found,
They are to me an empty sound.
Now when these lines you slowly read,
Go search your Bible with all speed.
For that my name is written there,
I do honestly to you declare.
The answer is a five-letter word found 4 times in the Bible.
snake? :/
Nope.
Satan?
Devil?
Fortunately the answer is found in the first chapter of Genesis: whale.
Though in the copy I read, it says 'whales', which is not exactly a 5 letter word :p
Now do my math puzzle!
Let us suppose we have a chessboard (8x8 squares) where each square is one inch wide. We cut out the squares from the bottom left and top right corners. We now have 62 squares
Now, let us assume we have 31 dominoes (1x2"). How many ways can you place the 31 dominoes on the board? Explain your answer.
Here's a hint: the answer is 0; but why?
