A man stood looking through the window on the forty fourth floor of a tower block. Suddenly on an impulse he opened the window and jumped through it. Despite it being a sheer drop to the bottom, he escaped unhurt. He did not use a parachute or land on a particualrly sof surface. How did he survive?

43 of those floors were underground.

here's an old riddle:

Upon currents of the mind I ride,
Inspired by tales of lengends and lore.
Yet in the thine heart I abide,
And remain forever more.

I am fragile, often destroyed,
Once lost, tough to restore.
My offerings are typically enjoyed,
Though in time, they tend to blur.

Thine heart's fondest desires I give,
But fears may make thee cry.
None am I who e'er hath lived.
Pray tell me, what am I?

it's me again.

There were an electrician and a plumber waiting in line for admission to the "International Home Show". One of them was the father of the other's son. How could this be possible?

the electrician is probably the wife/ husband of the plumber. since sex isn't given and all.


can i ask one?

There was this prisoner on death row (back in the days where they executed by shooting) for crimes unimaginable. On the day of his execution, the guard in charge of it asked the man if he has any last statements. The guard was a bit bored since he's seen so many executions so he decides to spice it up. He tells the prisoner that if his last statement is a lie, he will hang him instead, which is more painful if his neck doesn't break on the fall. If his statement was truthful, he'll continue with the shooting and end his life quick.

So the prisoner thought for a few seconds and uttered his final statement only to find it to not be his last. The guard, not knowing what to do, just freed the prisoner. Why?
