OK so like P.C's question topic, i am going to have a riddle topic.

first riddle: there is somthing really special about this up coming paragraph:

This is a unusual paragraph. Im curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nouthing was wrong with it! In fact, nouthing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find it! Try to do it without any coaching.

What is unusual about that paragrapgh?

kk heres a hard riddle:

Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

Betty signals to the headwaiter in a restaurant and says "there is a fly in my tea" The waiter says "No problem, madam. i will bring a fresh cup of tea." A few minutes later Betty shouts "get the manager! this is the same cup of tea!"

LOL.....wise guy.

Let's just say...the answer could be realized by the first part only....but will be supported (or not) by the second part.

The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

A boy was going out on his first date ever ...
Since he had never embraced a girl before he wanted to make sure he didn't screw up - so he went to the library and took out a bookentitled How to Hug
He took it home and read it but was dissapointed.

It gave him no useful advice at all ... why not??
