Either biological father or sperm donor...
Or was the guy in the car a priest?

Correct, it's the mother

What sound is the consistent marker of time for a baby before it even has any concept of time?

I drove at night on the motorway. I heard music from (music) tape. After the last song I pushed the button to drop out the tape. Unfortunately the tape jumped out of the recorder and landed anywhere in the footwell area. But there were lots of other tapes! But without looking I found quickly my lost tape. How?

It's ages since I've played a tape in the car! I'd guess the tape would be warm if it had played to the last song, whereas the other tapes would be cold?

Applause! Perfect deduction.

1. A man was born in Greece, raised in Spain, migrated to Italy, and died in England. What is he?

2. A man was driving a black truck. His lights were not on. The moon was not out. A lady was crossing the street. How did the man see her?

1. St George?!
2. It's daylight.

**Posted by SebbyM** July 22, 2014 11:23 am

Clever!

**Posted by SebbyM** July 22, 2014 2:33 pm

Indeed, he's dead!

**Posted by Bored-to-be-alive** July 22, 2014 2:50 pm

Oh nooooooooooooooo!!!

**Posted by MartaSt** July 22, 2014 2:51 pm

Seriously? It was shot in the dark, nothing else came to my mind

**Posted by SebbyM** July 22, 2014 5:52 pm

Seriously ;)

I came from the dream time. From the dusty red soil plains. I am the ancient heart. The keeper of the flame. I stood upon the rocky shore. I watched the tall ships come.
