I’ll be posting some riddles from time to time. I’ll post the answers in the comments later on. PS: These riddles are taken from Riddlenut

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, “If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50.”

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he’ll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Do you ever wonder why Instant messaging is so popular? for one it’s easy to use and you can access it anywhere on the web, for instance aol, all u gotta do is login to their site and you get the virtual AIM with your contact list ready. The only thing that I don’t understand is why people tend to use the IM language instead of the english language. For example, you see the “you” as “u” your as “ur” btw I’m a victim of that as well since I tend to use abbreviation alot. If you try to make sense of it though, it doesn’t take that much time to type your instead of ur and etc… The only thing that bothers me is when people start not to make sense of their words or making words up , to see what I’m saying here’s a Site I found a online that translates the english into the aol language. I’m going to translate this paragraph I wrote into aol to show you the difference. lmao.

WHAT IS IT NOW?

God said, “Adam, I want you to do something for Me.”
Adam asked, “Gladly, Lord, what do You want me to do?”
God said, “Go down into that valley.”
Adam asked, “What’s a valley?”
God explained it to him.
Then God said, “Cross the river.”
Adam asked, “What’s a river?”
God explained it to him, and then said, “Go over to the hill…”
Adam asked, “What is a hill?”
So God explained that to Adam too.
He told Adam, “On the other side of the hill you will find a cave.”
Adam asked, “What’s a cave?”
After God explained, he said, “In the cave you will find a Woman.”
Adam asked, “What’s a woman?”
So God explained that to him too.
Then God said, “I want you to reproduce.”
Adam asked, “How do I do that?”
God said under his breath and then, just like everything else, God explained that to Adam as well.
So Adam went down into the valley, across the river, over the hill, into the cave, and found the woman.
Then in about five minutes, he was back.
God said angrily, “What is it now?”
Adam asked, “What’s a headache?”
