Riddles

(pretty self explanatory. If you answer a riddle, you have to post a new one with it.)

How do you fit ten horses into nine boxes, without sharing a box or cutting any in half?

There are three possible answers to that. Antedestablishmentarianism, smiles (because there is a mile between the start and the finish), and elastic (because it stretches). Pick one.

What gets wetter as it dries?

Eleven.

A man is looking at a photograph of a young boy. His wife asks him who the boy is. He answers: "Brothers and sisters has he none, but this man's father is my father's son." Who is the boy?

Great Uncle?

There are two identical twins, Tom and Harry. They dress the same, have the same mannerisms, etc. No one can tell them apart. Because of this, they go to two different schools.

One day, Tom gets home and plops down on the couch, obviously forlorn. When Harry askes him what is wrong, Tom answers,

"Tomorrow my teacher is going to give us the hardest test she says there ever is possible, and I don't know how to answer any of the three questions that are on it!"

Harry asked, "Well, what are the questions?"

Tom said to him, "The first question is this: How many stars are there in the sky?; The second is: How deep is the ocean?; And the third, and hardest of them all, is 'What am I thinking?'"

Harry smiled at Tom and told him that he knew all of the answers, but he had a good plan. Tomorrow, they would switch places and no one would know. Tom would take Harry's place, and Harry would take Tom's place and answer the three questions correctly.

The next day comes. Again, Harry and Tom dress identically. They are completely identical, and during breakfast, even their mother has trouble keeping them straight.

Finally, Harry goes off to Tom's school and the teacher finally gets around to his name. All of the students before him failed the three questions.

"Tom," the teacher says, "How many stars are there in the sky?"

"Approximately three thousand billion stars are currently estimated to be in the night sky," Harry answered.

The teacher replied with a smile that he was right, give or take a couple thousand.

Next, the teacher asked, "Tom, how deep is the ocean?"

Harry took a deep breath and said, "A stone's throw."

The teacher looked at him puzzled, and asked him to explain. Harry said that the ocean, no matter where, was only as deep as the depth a stone could go to the bottom of it. The teacher had to concede his point.

The classroom grew hushed. Tom had gotten 2 out of 3 questions correct, more than any other student in the class.

Finally the teacher broke the silence and said, "Tom, what am I thinking?"

The student took a deep breath and said the correct answer. The class sat, dumbfounded. The teacher's mouth was agape.

What did he say?

Oh, right, ermmm.

Let's say you're standing in a room with two doors, only one is the real exit. Next to each door there is a man standing, one of them always says the truth, and the other always tells lies.

You can only ask one question to only one of the men to get out, which question should you ask?

You ask one which door the other one will point you to.

If the bus in Kuwait passes at 8:20, how many kangaroos live in Austrailia?

Umm, a gazillion and five?

An old woman lives in a green bungalow. The door is green, the walls are green, the roof is green, the fence is green, the rug is green, the cooker is green, the fridge is green, the tables are green, the chairs are green and the carpet is green. What colour are the stairs?
