Thought I would pose some questions. A new one each time correct answer is received.

A young woman goes to a nudist beach from 9am in the morning until the sun goes down.

It is 100% no cloud, but when she leaves the beach, she is not burnt and has no tan.

WHY?

They slipped and fell on the broken pieces of glass (after dropping the glass of water)

The glass is from a broken window through which an intruder entered; the water was formerly a block of ice, with which Jack and Jill were bludgeoned to death.

That's just what the government wants you to believe: "Jack and Jill fell down the hill". Yeah, right. The reality is so much deeper than you know. You've got to look inside.....see what the clues add up to. When you examine it more carefully it all becomes clear......The CIA, FBI, ex-Gestapo officers in little huts off the coast of Scotland....Gavin McLoed, Chairman Mao (Why have you never seen the two of them in the same room at the same time?)...husky Midwest waitresses, shady car salesmen....You've got a chance to bust Santa Claus's racket wide open, and you're going after the Easter Bunny! Jim Morrison speaking, but all you hear is Van Morrison...Open your eyes, there were two gunmen on the grassy knoll...Osama's selling bikes down by the Battery...Saddam's just a patsy for American oil interests....Roswell, New Mexico, isn't really there, is it? Didn't think so!

It's daytime, so they are both very visible to one another.

This is one I got out of a science magazine while waiting for a haircut (so I can't claim authorship for it :D )

Two women apply for the same job at a company, and when you read their applications you're stunned. They have the same last name, birthday, place of birth, parents, and residence, and they look exactly like one another. You decide to call them into your office and ask them if they're twins. When you do, they both respond, "No, we are not twins."

So, how come they have so much in common?

Correct, they're a set of triplets! (That's what the magazine had, though it's also concievable there are even more hanging around who were born at the same time) :thumb:

Oh, and here's another one...

There is a room ahead of you with a closed door, on the wall you have 3 switches, in the room there is a lightbulb, you must find out which switch is opening the light, and you can only open the door once.

How do you do it?

Leave the door open as you try all the switches.

Look through the keyhole/under the door/through the glass in the door(!) as you try each switch? :scratch:
