I think they're just jealous of people who speak English.

I've often had dreams of biting my flute in half or taking a chunk out my saxophone...

We should have someone 'translate' these dreams into real everyday meanings!

Okay, here's a hint. They look exactly like humans, but one thing is missing.

I hope I didn't give it away...if I did can you delete this immediately, MathsIsFun or Zach please? lol

#1463 Re: Puzzles and Games » Magic Squares » 2005-06-16 20:19:25

Sorry...did I spoil it for everyone else or did you remove it in time, MathsIsFun?

#1464 Re: Puzzles and Games » adam and eve » 2005-06-16 20:18:08

I suppose that could be right, Rora, but not the answer I am looking for...

They had no possessions with them; there was just their bodies.

(leaves and apples count as possessions smile)

Width, depth, height and ... time

Isn't that a dimension? Like as in time travel?

#1469 Puzzles and Games » adam and eve » 2005-06-15 19:04:58

A guy was digging in his vegie patch at home when he came across a dead body of a man, naked. Immediately he knew this man was Adam - the Adam, from the bible. A few minutes later he came across another naked body, a lady this time. Again, he immediately knew this was Eve - the Eve, from the bible.

How did he know that they were actually Adam and Eve?

#1470 Re: Puzzles and Games » logic puzzles » 2005-06-15 19:01:19

Nice thinking Rora, but that's kind of not the answer...

oh yes, and MathsIsFun, thanks!

Has anyone heard of the recent trial of Australian Shappelle Corby? She was convicted of smuggling drugs into Indonesia in her boogie board bag. Most of Australia believes she is innocent, except the Indonesian government. They will not accept that she didn't put the marijuana in her bag. She was locked in Indonesia for 7 months while she had her trial - her final verdict could have been the death sentence, but ended out to be 20 years in an Indonesian prison. Her whole life has come to an end now, she has no future - when she comes out of jail, she will be almost 50 - it will be too late to start a life.

What do you think is worse? The death penalty or a life sentence in jail?
Which is fairer?

Two wrongs don't make a right...

Or how 'bout:

Watchdog Committee. A high-level security arm designed to keep an eye on the other branches. Senior-most management organization in the Church of Scientology.

or even

The Western Design Center (WDC), maker of microprocessors, microcontrollers, and related support chips, was founded in 1978 by co-holder of the MOS Technology 6502 patent, Bill Mensch, himself a former MOS Technology employee. WDC is located in Mesa, Arizona.

Oh right, silly me...I didn't know that I had to put a value in...

I thought it would tell me the conversion rate or something...doh! lol

#1474 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Tools ! » 2005-06-02 20:32:16

Cool! I tried the first one, Unit Conversion Tool, but all that happened when I pressed A to B or B to A was a little box popped up saying 'What you gave me cannot be converted or is zero!'

This happened for all selections. If you can work out what happened, this would be fantastic!

A carrot, a football scarf and 3 buttons were found in a field. If no one put them there on purpose, how did they get there?
