-1. A man left home running. He ran a ways and then turned left, ran the same distance and turned left again, ran the same distance and turned left again. When he got home, there were two masked men. Who were they? 2. A man stands on one side of a river, his dog on the other. The man calls his dog, who immediately crosses the river without getting wet and without using a bridge or a boat. How did the dog do it? Think winter. -3. There is a word in the English language in which the first two letters signify a male, the first three letters signify a female, the first four signify a great man, and the whole word, a great woman. What is the word? -4. What makes this number unique: 8,549,176,320? -5. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a long one. Michael J. Fox has a short one. Madonna does not use hers. Bill Clinton always uses his. The Pope never uses his. What is it? -6. What five-letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it? -7. A man was walking in the rain. He was in the middle of nowhere. He had nothing and nowhere to hide. He came home all wet, but not a single hair on his head was wet. Why is that? -8. In my hand, I have two coins that are newly minted. Together, they total 30 cents. One isn’t a nickel. What are the coins? -9. The person who makes it has no need for it. The person who purchases it does not use it. The person who does use it does not know he or she is. What is it? -10. What is 3/7 chicken, 2/3 cat, and 2/4 goat?

8. Nickel and dime - the other coin is a nickel 
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?
