How many members of each animal did Moses take on the arc?

Sort of simple...

Moses didn't build the ark. Noah did.

A man lives in a thirty story building. Everyday he gets up for work and rids the elevator all the way down. When he comes home he only rids the elevator half way up and walks the rest of the way. Why?

because he only lives half way up not at the very top

Akira · Post by **Akira** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 3:06 pm

Many have fallen but none have died.
Many have lost me and restlessly cried.
Many have I taken eternally
And many I have denied.

I'm sure you all have heard this before:

What's greater than God,
More powerful than the Devil?
Poor people have it,
Rich people need it,
and if you eat it, you'll die.

I'm not sure if I got all of the verses -_-

answer: nothing

(fyi, the answer to my earlier riddle was 'sleep')

An Indian chief had two sons and both wanted to be chief when their father died. The chief therefore laid a race for his two sons. The one whoâ€™s horse crossed the finish line LAST would be chief.
The Chief died that month and the race began. You can imagine how it went. Neither son wanted their horse to cross the finish line first. The tribeâ€™s medicine man saw this dilemma and beckoned the two boys off their horses. He whispered something in their ears and both boys immediately jumped back on a horse and raced towards the finish.
What did the medicine man say?

Nyeh, I have no clue...

A man carrying a briefcase is walking down a hallway. All of a sudden, the light goes out. When they come back on, a man is dead. Who is the man carrying the briefcase, and what happened to the man that died?

Makla · Post by **Makla** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 3:42 pm

ugh, i know i've heard this one before!
i'm going to take one helluva stab in the dark here.
the lights went out which means the power went out. The man who died was on life support. The man walking down the hallway was his attorney...
yeah, one helluva stab

(mine was, he told the two boys to get back on their brother's horse and race it to the finish. the rules were whoever's HORSE crossed the finish line last would be chief)

Waves over water
Wind over mountains
flying above these
a marvel of nature I saw
Pure as diamond
white as cloud
