q: an aircraft carrier flying over the border of the us and canada crashes , were do they bury the surivors ?

a: boats fly ?

aircraft carriers don't fly either, they're fecking big ships

What about the aircraft that carry (piggyback) other aircraft on top or under the wings. Surely they would be aircraft carriers. So this woman's husband was in an aircraft on an aircraft carrier when all the electricity went down and the two aircraft crashed. She knew her husband was dead because she was in one of those glass lifts and watched it crash. The survivors were than massacred by a crazed gunman and they were buried at sea. Simple!

As I alluded to earlier. It's a scary concept if they did get one off the ground.

True, but it's never been seen crossing the Canadian-American border (except on the airwaves from US channels).

Two archeologists find a man embedded in ice, they automatically become multi-millionaires, get automatic of saintdom from the pontiff at the discovery of Adam (of adam and eve fame), but how do they know its him?

It had 'his' written on the back of his leaf.

[David Lee's Hair]

no belly button

[TANGODANCER]

He had a rib missing and was holding an apple.

[communistworkethic]

it was a banana actually

[Montreal Wanderer]

The belly buttoners are correct - he was the only chap not born of woman - others could be missing a rib.

Edit: Ooops - I see DLH gave the answer, not a guess.

If I have two coins subtotaling eleven pence, but one of the coins isn't a ten pence piece, what are the two coins?

[communistworkethic]

a 10p and a 1p

the 1p isn't a 10p

Would you please stop doing that!!

On a train, Smith, Robinson, and Jones are the fireman, brakeman, and the engineer, but NOT respectively. Also aboard the train are three passengers who have the same names: a Mr. Smith, a Mr. Robinson, and a Mr. Jones.

Mr. Robinson is a passenger. He lives in Durham.

The brakeman lives exactly halfway between Chester and Durham

Mr. Jones is a passenger. He earns exactly £20,000 per year.

The brakeman's nearest neighbor, one of the passengers, earns exactly three times as much as the brakeman.

Smith is not a passenger. He beats the fireman at pool.

The passenger whose name is the same as the brakeman's lives in Chester.

Who is the engineer?

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

The thing that jumps out is that £20K isn't 'exactly' divisible by three, but beyond that I can't be arsed!

Something wrong or missing with these two clues

[Pete]

I think: Since one of the passengers is the brakeman's *nearest neighbour*, and we know that
A: Mr Robinson lives in Durham
B: Either Mr S or Mr J lives in Chester
then his nearest neighbour must be the person not living in chester or durham, as they are equidistant.

As mummy says, that neighbour can't be Mr J, as 20,000 isn't exactly divisible by three, so J must live in Chester, and Mr S is the brakemans's neighbour.

Consequently, the brakeman is J, as Mr J lives in Chester.

If Smith beats Robinson at pool, then Robinson is the Fireman, and therefore

Smith is the engineer!

(or am I wrong?)

Or it's mrs/miss or ms smith so she is the engineer?
