How much do you score?
1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three
rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins
with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in
3 years. Which room is safest for him?
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over
5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out
together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all
of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers,
and still tell which water came from which jug?
4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when
you throw it away?
5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
6. This is an unusual paragraph.
I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it.
It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact,
nothing 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 out.
See the answers below....
Answers:
1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.
2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband,
developed it, and hung it up to dry.
3. Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs and put the ice in the
barrel. You will be able to tell which water came from which jug.
4. The answer is Charcoal.
5. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
6. The letter "e," which is the most common letter in the English
language, does not appear once in the long paragraph.

Hi friends.....
This is the information I received just before 1 hour from one friend.
He is staying in Mumbai(INDIA).
Today in Mumbai Mirror Daily, it is written that so many terrorists and
under world people has got connecting through orkut. Like Davood
Ibrahim, Chotta Shakkil, ...........so many people are getting new man
power
through Orkut only. The IB has started their investigations. So please
reduce the contacts through Orkut.
It is usual that we receive friend request from unknown people. But if
you actually do not know that person it is good to reject that request.
Because if one terrorist is found by Police, his entire friend's list
will be carefully followed. And if you are there, you also will be in
trouble.
So be careful! Also forward it to all your friends. This information is
true. It is written in the front page of Mumbai Mirror Daily.
You may be thinking that why these people adding so many friends
through orkut. It is simply because to mislead the Police. When
they(Police)
get a huge friend list they will be concentrating on them. They may be
innocent people. At that time the real terrorists can escape. So
friends, please forward this information to all you know.
Will remember this all my life...
Last night you and your best friend had a fight.
You decide not to talk to her the next day.
She smiles at you.
You grind your teeth at her.
She tells her friends nice things about you.
You spread bad rumors about her.
She tries to come and talk to you.
But you push her aside.
She thinks you are a great friend.
You think she is a terrible friend.
She writes nice notes to you, telling you about the best times you shared
together. You write about all the bad times you can remember
experiencing together.
Deep down you know she's sorry.
But all you have is hate.
The next day you find a note. It reads:
Dear -------------,
I tried to tell you yesterday, but you didn't let me speak,
I tried to tell you good things,but you were afraid to hear them.
I tried to smile at you, to take away the hate.
But now it's time to tell you, even though it's a bit late. That i am
dying.
I have a bad condition and it is getting worse. I'm sorry to
have to tell you that i won't be able to see you today. I wrote
this to you today in the hospital.
My time is up.
I'm sorry i should have told you sooner.
I'm really sorry about our argument,you are such a great friend.
I promise i shall watch over you,
Lots of love
-------------
You run to the hospital to tell her you are sorry,
But only her mum is left.
Her hand clasped over her face.
And she was crying. Down on her knees she prays, for her daughter to come back.
You are too late.
You wish you told her sorry sooner and got to say goodbye.
All friends have their ups and downs, and sometimes you need to say
sorry... Don't wait for the other person to do it first.
Because you never know what could happen.
If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person..
If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that
they're checking your mobile line, and you have to press # 90 or #09 or
any other number. End this call immediately without pressing any
numbers. There is a fraud company using a device that once you press
#90 or
#09 they can access your "SIM" card and make calls at your expense.
Forward this message to as many friends as you can, to stop it. This
information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia. There are
over 3
Million mobile phones being infected by this virus in all around the
world now. You can also check this news in the CNN web site

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
!
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
Innocence...will definitely touch your heart
THE DOLL AND THE ROSE
I was walking around in a store. I saw a
Cashier hand this little boy his money back saying
"I'm sorry, but you don't have enough
money to buy this doll."
Then the little boy turned to the old woman
Next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have
Enough money?''
The old lady replied: ''You know that you
Don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''
Then she asked him to stay there for 5
Minutes while she went to look around. She left
Quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in
His hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him
Who he wished to give this doll to.
"It's the doll that my sister loved most and
Wanted so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Santa
Claus would bring it to her."
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will
Bring it to her after all, and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus
Can't bring it to her where she is now.
I have to Give the doll to my mommy so that
she can give it to My sister when she goes there."
His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My
Sister has gone to be with God.
Daddy says that
Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I
Thought that she could take the doll with her to
Give it to my sister.''
My heart nearly stopped.
The little boy looked up at me and said:
"I Told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her
To wait until I come back from the mall."
Then he showed me a very nice photo of him
Where he was laughing. He then told me "I want mommy
To take my picture with her so she won't forget me."
"I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have
To leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be
With my little sister."
Then he looked again at the doll with sad
Eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to
The boy. "What if we checked again, just in case you
Do have enough money?''
"Ok" he said "I hope that I have enough."I
Added some of my money to his without him seeing and
We started to count it. There was enough for the
Doll and even some spare money.
The little boy said: "Thank you God for
Giving me enough money!"
Then he looked at me and added "I asked
Yesterday before I slept for God to make sure I have
Enough money to buy this doll so that mommy can give
It to my sister. He heard me!''
"I also wanted to have enough money to buy a
White rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask
God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the
Doll and a white rose.''
"My mommy loves white roses."
A few minutes later, the old lady came again
And I left with my basket.
I finished my shopping in a totally
Different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy
Out of my mind.
Then I remembered a local newspaper article
2 days ago, which mentioned of a drunk man in a truck, who hit
A car, where there was one young lady and a little girl.
The little girl died right away, and the
Mother was left in a critical state. The family had
To decide whether to pull the plug on the
Life-assisting machine, because the young lady would
Not be able to recover from the coma.
Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the
Little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young
Lady had passed away.
I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch
Of white roses and I went to the funeral home where
The body of the young woman was exposed for people
To see and make last wishes before burial.
She was there, in her coffin, holding a
Beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of
The little boy and the doll placed over her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that
My life had been changed forever. The love that this
Little boy had for his mother and his sister is
Still, to this day, hard to imagine.
And in a Fraction of a second, a drunk
driver had taken all This away from him.
