Poor people have it,
Rich people want for it,
If you eat it you die!

A man (a bit of a crank) decides to build himself a house. He designs his house very carefully and to precise specifications. The house is perfectly square with each of the four walls measuring 30ft. There is one window, and only one window, in the middle of each of the four walls. Each window measures 6ft X 6ft. Every window in the house faces south...how?

A man, aged 60, has three dogs. One is called Rover, one is called Hero and the last is called Dog. Rover is 12, Hero is 6 and Dog is a 1 week old pup. Who dies first, Rover, Hero, Dog or the man?

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?
