It has millions of ears, but lives in silence. It has billions of eyes, but sees nothing. It has no legs, but lives in two hemispheres. What is it?
@sawtooth, Corn?
Nope
The brain....that was a great episode of Batman the Animated series too.
"What is it I have against Microsoft, you ask? Well, you know how you feel when you wait for an MMO to come out and when it does you feel like you've paid to play it's beta test for another 6-9 months before anything even thinks of working the way it should? Being a network engineer you feel that way about anything Microsoft puts out."
The rungs of a 10 foot ladder attached to a ship are 1 foot apart. If the water is rising at the rate of one foot an hour, how long will it take until the water covers over the ladder?...

Well, that would all depend on many things. Where exactly is the ladder located? Also the water could not rise on the ladder at one foot an hour, it will continuously get faster because more of the ship is underwater. Also where is the ship located? will it hit a rock and the ladder will now go under? Am I over-thinking this?

the water will never cover the ladder because the ship is presumably afloat, and no matter the depth of the water the ship will float at the same height
I hope some day we can all put aside our racisms and prejudices and just laugh at people
Never, the ship isn't sinking.
Edit: beaten =(
Now with 57.3% more flames!
Never, the ship isn't sinking.

Slightly...
Oh, also. what about the crew? are they just standing by watching their ship sink? or are they bucketing out water with adrenaline pumping as they go under... which! could explain why it moves at 1 foot per hour! I got ya now! Okay, also are there any damsels in distress that the sailor might grab that ladder and try to rescue?
Damn! im shown up... What did I do wrong... guess I didnt think it through hard enough... thought the wind might effect something...
I dont know, could have been a sub...
I shoot for the curve... anything above that is gravy.
One morning a man is leaving on business trip and finds he left some paperwork at his office. He runs into his office to get it and the night watchman stops him and says, "Sir, don't get on the plane. I had a dream last night that the plane would crash and everyone would die!" The man takes his word and cancels his trip. Sure enough, the plane crashes and everyone dies. The next morning the man gives the watchman a $1,000 reward for saving his life and then fires him. Why did he fire the watchman that saved his life?
I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am I?
That one isn't that hard. A night watchman shouldn't be asleep at night, so he shouldn't have had a dream, gimme a sec on the other one. Second one is death isn't it?
1st right, 2nd wrong.
Consciousness? Disease? A shadow? Your dick?
A shadow? Your dick?
A shadow is correct. The other, well, close if it wasn't described as small as an ant. As big as a whale is close, but that is still an insult.
On a small island in the middle of the ocean, there lives a tribe of people. The number of people does not matter - let's say fifty. Each person in the tribe has either blue eyes or green eyes. However, there are no mirrors on this island and the ocean is too murky so the tribesmen have NO way of knowing what color their eyes are. Furthermore, the capricious god the islanders worship has forbidden them to reveal to each other what color eyes they have. The islanders are devout and thus far have obeyed their god's command, so none of them know what color eyes they have.
One day their god tells them that all blue eyed people must kill themselves and if they do, all the islanders will go to heaven. However, if a blue-eyed person doesn't commit suicide, or if any green eyed person commits suicide or is harmed in any way, or if, during the process, any islanders communicate in any way, all the islanders will go to hell. The islanders believe their god, and after a time, they succeed in carrying out his command. Keeping in mind that the exact number of islanders is irrelevant, how do they do it?
Hints:
1) No, this is not a trick question.
2) The answer does not rely on a play on words.
3) The answer has nothing to do with genetics or reproduction
4) No, they can't just gouge out their eyes and look (green-eyes can't come to harm)
5) No, there is not just one blue-eyed islander (that would be a trick question)
6) Many people have suggested that the islanders could look at their own reflection in each other's eyes to determine what their own eye color is. Try this. It is not possible.
Please do not look it up on the internet, or tell the answer if you had already figured it out before.
They tell each other has to die?
