Son of Water
You eat something you neither plant nor plow.
It is the son of water, but if water touches it, it dies.
Salt. It comes from saltwater but salt melts ice (the solid form of water).
Lennie’s List of Names
Lennie was cleaning up some old papers in his office and found a list with the following names:
Washington
Jefferson
Lincoln
Hamilton
Jackson
Grant
The last name on the list was mostly worn away and he couldn’t make it out. What was the last name and why?
Franklin. It’s a list of the men on U.S. currency, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20 and $50. The $100 bill has Franklin. And an interesting tidbit is that Hamilton, along with Franklin, are the only two men in the list who did not serve as president.
Wait 27 Days Or See It Every Day?
You could wait 27 days or you could see it everyday. What is it?
The moon. Even though the true moon cycle is about 29.5 days, it takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. Thus you can see the full moon every 27 days or you can moon yourself every day in the mirror. Not that you’d want to. Does anyone moon themselves? Can’t say as I’ve ever had the “pleasure”.
Everybody Does At The Same Time
What is it that everybody does at the same time?
Grow older.
Loses Its Head Every Morning
What loses its head every morning only to get it back every night?
A pillow.
A Voice With No Mouth
I am a voice without a mouth, throat or lungs. I know no language but speak in all tongues. What am I?
An echo.
Tear One Off And Scratch My Head
Tear one off and scratch my head. What once was red is black instead. What am I?
A match.
This is a duplicate of red black instead, but I’m leaving them both to avoid broken links.
