A 30 year old man married a 25 year old woman. She died at age 50 and her husband was so devastated that he cried for years.
Ten years after he stopped crying, he died. If he had lived to be 80, how many years was he a widower?


I am eight letters long - "12345678"
My 1234 is an atmospheric condition.
My 34567 supports a plant.
My 4567 is to appropriate.
My 45 is a friendly thank-you.
My 678 is a name.
Q: What word am I?



If today is Tuesday, what is the day after the day before the day before tomorrow?

OK, ich knobel _{oder google} noch ein wenig, aber du musst auch ran...

With thieves I consort,
With the vilest, in short,
I'm quite at my
ease in depravity;
Yet all divines use me,
And savants can't lose me,
For I am the center of gravity.
Who or what am I???

I think, it's the letter "v"!(...hoffe ich doch mal)
"Schwitz-Smiley" Siebengscheit

it's MISTAKEN
Aber ich hab gegoogelt, denn als Deutscher kann man da nicht drauf kommen


Und damit kämen wir zum Buchstaben B bei den Tom-Swifty Puns...

"This boat is leaking," said Tom balefully.

"Give me a haircut," Tom said barbarously.

"I've been listening to the Brandenburg Concertos," Tom barked.

"This is the most common language used on micros," said Tom basically.

"Why shouldn't I stir my coffee with a ballpoint pen?" Tom bickered.

"These bit patterns will be more readable in groups of 8," said Tom bitingly.

"I've only enough carpet for the hall and landing," said Tom with a blank stare.

"..." said Tom blankly.

"I need a pencil sharpener," said Tom bluntly.

"This wind is awful," blustered Tom.

"I think I'll use a different font," said Tom boldly.

"Are you all governors?" Tom asked, bored.

"I still haven't struck oil," said Tom boringly.

"This is mutiny!" said Tom bountifully.

"I presented my case to the judge," Tom said briefly.

"Use your own toothbrush!" Tom bristled.

PS:Ich finde es schade, wenn man nur durch Googlen und nicht durch Selberdenken drauf kommen kann.

mistaken...(8 Buchstaben) ... und die anderen???

Klar, ist für NEU (No-English-User) schwierig. Aber es gibt ja google!

Hab' den geänderten Beitrag nicht gesehen! Sorry!

THE PLAN or HOW POLICY IS MADE

In the beginning there was The Plan.
And then came the Assumptions.
And the Plan was without substance.
And darkness was upon the faces of the Workers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying,
"It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh."
And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said,
"It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odor thereof."
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."
And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."
And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying to one another,
"It contains that which aides plant growth, and it is very strong."
And the Directors then went unto the Vice Presidents, saying unto them,
"It promotes growth, and is very powerful"
And the Vice Presidents went unto the President, saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company, with powerful effects."
And the President looked upon The Plan, and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.
THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENS.

...das hattet ihr noch nicht:

A public school teacher was arrested today at JFK INTL Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a problem for us," Gonzales said. "They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every triangle'."

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes." White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the president.
