About 50% of people get this old one wrong, apparently:

Brothers and sisters have I none,
But that man's father is my father's son.

Who is "that man"?

Is he talking about himself? Otherwise I'm stumped! And it took me a while to think of that answer too. Can you put me out of my misery one way or the other Hardy?

the riddle should have asked who is he pointing at.......

answer

My fathers son must mean himself because he has no brothers, and since this is the father of the person he is pointing at, he is pointing at his son!

Say 'that man' was 'Sean' in the photo.

So that man's father (sean's da) is yer father's son (can only be you as you've no bros or sis).So that man's da is you and your father's son is you.

So 'that man' (Sean) is yer son.

Eskimos are very good hunters, but they never hunt penguins. Why not?

When is a door not a door?

In Ardboe when it's just a rake of long reeds and blackheads hanging from the reed and blackhead frame.

QuoteYou are standing in a room. There are 2 doors in the room. There is a guard beside each door. One always tells the truth. The other always lies. Behind one of the doors is paradise. Behind the other doors is a man eating lion. You obviously want the door that goes to paradise. You are allowed to ask 1 question. What question lets you know for sure what door leads to paradise?

If you ask both of them "Which door would the other guard tell me leads to the lion?", they should both then point at the door leading to paradise.

When my country takes her place among the nations of the earth...then may my epitaph be written

If everything is made of matter (matter is anything that has both volume and mass) , name something real (on this planet) that has no matter?

I know of two but there could be more.
