19. (whines) but i don't like to guess
i was forced (by small children) to guess what they gave their mothers for mother's day. i'm all guessed out.

i don't need a prize.

just whisper and tell me the answer. no one else has to know.
just go like this: (( answer here )) and no one will read it.

((maybe))

31. I got it...
Edited on Mon May-09-05 11:59 PM by ltfranklin
30 - 5 = 25
25 = binary 11001
15 = binary 1111
7 = binary 111
11001 AND 1111 = 1001
1001 AND 111 = 1

Ha!!!!

33. A puppy?
I'm already living with 8 cats? A puppy would end up with serious identity issues.

You got, maybe, a lizard or something?

34. Wait a minute....
This is a correct answer, but did you have another answer? Or did you just make up a riddle with no answer? Cause, you know, there are laws against that!
