*Fifteen people are trapped aboard a ship that's going to sink in exactly 20 minutes. Their only chance for survival is the five-person life raft stowed on their vessel. To make matters worse, the waters around the ship are teeming with man-eating sharks, so swiming to safety is out of the question.
A round-trip to the nearest island and back to the boat takes nine minutes on the raft. How many people will live to see dry land...
please answer that
Kit:
I wonder if Frank made it.

wow its amazing they should exicute order 66 with a lot of clones XD

Awesome find. Its always interesting to find older pictures of the way something will work in the future, and then compare it to what actually ended up being the case.

Wow, that wasn't a question I ever expected my mom to ask. Must be a completely, totally different Katya.
Still a great interview. I usually don't give Beefeater much of a chance, but 24 actually sounds nonboring.
twitter.com/robmarais:
What a delightful read on what goes into my next favorite gin. Classic Beefeater has been my mixing gin for eons. I'm intrigued by 24, all the more so by learning of Payne's care and craft in creating it.
sushiesque:
Not that I noticed. But I was getting over a hideous cold and not particularly interested in the beverages.
quinciana:
Katya's Mom just wants to know whether this is the blogger who would know whether gin was served at Fuzzy's wedding in Maine.
Bryana Dunn:
Every doodad is a doohickey. Half of all thingamajigs are doohickeys. Half of all doohickeys are doodads. There are 30 thingamajigs and 20 doodads. No thingamajig is a doodad. How many doohickeys are neither doodads nor thingamajigs?

Even as an insufferable teetotaler, I found this a wonderful read.

Beefeater:
Hanky Panky is an amazing cocktail. One of my personal favourites. My recipe of choice looks something like this.
2 PARTS Beefeater London Dry Gin
2 PARTS Italian vermouth
2 DASH Fernet Branca
SHAKE All ingredients over ice
STRAIN Into a chilled cocktail glass
SQUEEZE A freshly cut orange peel on top
Awesome Video Tutorial on the cocktail: www.beefeatergin.com/mixology/video.php?video =Hanky%20Panky

A couple are driving home in the dark when the car breaks down, the husband decided to walk to a petrol station for help that was a few miles back, so he locked all the doors,windows and boot. On his return there was a stranger in the car and his wife was dead,there was no damage to the car at all.what happened?????
James Price:
Yeah I found this out the hard way. The people who work at the Library of Congress were none too nice about setting me straight. Most of the people that work there do not want to be bothered, I think. The people that registered me and got me my car (of which there were three) were super nice. But everyone else is either mean or indifferent. I shouldn't have even gotten the reader ID (which you supposedly need to even read anything at the LOC) because I've yet to be stopped and asked for it, even at the "researcher only" entrance! Weak.

Dear sushiesque - is there any way I can contact you offsite to ask for permission to use one of your photographs?

1. no; I was with my parents, and they had their own agenda.

Awww, jealous-- I love Harkness. I rather want to go back there sometime soon. Two questions:
1. Did you go to Sarge's? I rather want to go back there, too. (It's where I bought my first Ace Doubles!)
2. Did you see the tree with the boob?
Two Archeaologists are digging in caves in Egypt. They walk into one cave and see two naked people standing there. The first Archeaologist knows immediatley that they are Adam and Eve and the other agrees with him...HOW DOES HE KNOW???!!!!!

Danielle,
the answer is...
he looks in the mirror.. and to see what he saw. he takes the saw and cuts a hole in the box.
there is also another version of that... the riddle is..
A man is stuck in a box. There are no doors, no windows, no openings of any kind. Inside with him is a round table and a mirror. How does he get out?
the answer is:
he looks in the mirror to see what he saw. he takes the saw and cuts the table in half. 2 halves make a whole and he gets out through the hole.

In 1930 a minister, missing for some days, finally turned up on a
sunday afternoon, explaining that he had been kidnapped while out for
a stroll on friday at 3 a.m.
He claimed to have been tied up and held in a country home ever since.
On sunday afternoon, he had loosened his bonds in a dark room. "I lay
still, wondering if my kidnappers were about," he said, "all i heard
was the ticking of my watch. Quietly, I opened the window and made my
escape."
Was the minister kidnapped?

I think maybe we got discovered by an entire class whose teacher assigned them to "Riddles."
Chan, the answer is obviously "corporate mainstream media." I am smarter than kindergarteners, who obviously would not have phrased their answer with such accuracy.
Andrew, your answer is if you post your email address on the Internet, you deserve every last byte of spam that appears in your inbox.

Wow...
Of all the posts that you guys have put saying that you aren't going to give answers to riddles, people sure don't listen. Seriously, I was reading this for a laugh [which, in fact, I got. Especially the 'magic phrase of the week' thing] And I saw that there were many posts that said basically 'We don't answer riddles, so screw off!' ...Basically. I honestly feel sorry for you that there are such illiterate people who don't understand when people tell them that one thing isn't the other.
Just wanted to say...

Yeah, I gotta riddle that will stump me and bug me for weeks till I find the answer.
RIDDLE:
I have a monster that lives in my basement, and we use a primitive code to communicate. For example, if it says '16', I know it wants a vedgi. If it says '10' I know it wants to eat a bird. If it says "2' he wants a juicy incect. And '20' means it thirsty. What happends if it say "21"?
