    Anyway, Bear is right, except doug is your dog and he knocked the bowl off the counter breaking the bowl and leaving the fish helpless and they died. The end!

    Yeah I had sort of but I think they were different names or theyd been swapped around, i.e something like doug and wilma are dead and fred is asleep on the couch sort of saying it looked like wilma was cheating on fred (if you go with the flintstones theory :D )

    Nope, not money either. Do you think money is greater than god, the poor have it and you die if you eat it? Haha

    Hello adam:

    Too ethereal for me. But, I'm going to think on it.

    Here's one. You're in a small four sided house. There's a window in each wall. Each window faces south. You look out one of the windows and see a bear. What color is the bear?

    Hello again,

    Ok, smarties... What's the answer to adams?

    excon

    PS> All right. I got another scientific one, kind of...

    You're on a ship in the northern hemisphere sailing south. You are about to cross the equator. Your cabin has NO portholes or communication devices. It DOES have toilet, a clock, a sink, a refrigerator, a knife and fork, and a table and chair.

    Using ONE or more of those items, you'll be able to tell exactly WHEN you cross the equator.

    How?

    Well I'm inclined to go with the which direction does water flow down a drain clockwise for north anti clockwise for south, so that would be the toilet and sink,
    ... but that's a common misconception so I'm not so sure

    Hello bear:

    Yup... But, you got to help me out. I AM under that "misconception". I also believe that hurricanes twirl a different direction in the southern hemisphere for the same reasons... No? It has to do with the direction the earth rotates. Yes?

    No idea about hurricanes, or the earths rotation effecting it so, to be honest I also thought it was true until I was shown otherwise, now I just know it depends on how the bowl and pipes are made that dictates which way the water will drain out :)
