in another concrete room, encased in 6ft of concrete, with only a 2in square hole in the roof. there is a sink in the room slowly filling, but the tap is broken and won't turn off. how do you stop yourself from drowning? (the hole goes through the concrete, so will fill with water meaning no breathing through it, it's just there to relieve the building pressure;) )

A father and son go fishing one day, the son falls and spears himself with his pole stand, the father calls for an ambulance and they get rushed to hospital and the operating theatre, the operating surgeon takes one look at the boy with the pole stand stuck in him and says I can't operate on this patient he's my son!

Who is the surgeon?

balf

The son's dad.

Just because a father and son go fishing there is nothing stopping the father not bieng the son in questions father, or infact a priest

PaintMagnet
09-02-2008, 09:31
nope the surgeon isn't the dad

Khanzo

The fisherman is just a father, not the kid's. The surgeon is his real father.

if a tree falls in the woods, and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a good subject for a profoundly thought provoking question?

PaintMagnet
11-02-2008, 19:37
yes it does just because nobody is around to hear it, it doesn't mean that there aren't any little animals or insects around to hear it!

Mr. Longbeard
11-02-2008, 19:39
ahhh but assume a biological attack had wiped out all life capable of hearing :p

yes, but i was bypassing it, but if you insist;

if a tree falls in the woods, and there's no one there to here it, does it make a good subject for a profoundly thought provoking question?

If there is no one there to hear it how do we know it fell, perhaps it was pushed :eek:

And no, the subject of no one hearing it does not make a profoundly thought provoking question as the answer is simple and is still no :p :p :p

Whilst sitting in the office, doing mind numbing repetitive work, I sometimes watch video's on Youtube. As you know one video leads to another and before long you are miles away from what you started from.

Now here is a riddle for you.
